I wish people would stop talking about Nuremberg as the inevitable reckoning - the VAST majority of Nazis were not criminally prosecuted. 13.6 million Germans served during WWII. 201 Nazi leaders were tried at Nuremberg. 201 isn't even a fraction of the people who ran/worked at concentration camps.

The Trump administration is bending the rules to open up the deep sea to commercial mining for the first time.
Trump is steamrolling global calls for a moratorium on deep-sea mining
It wants to greenlight mining outside of US national jurisdiction.

Maybe it's my exhaustion and current health garbage, but it's really feeling like his cronies have convinced him to go after these ridiculous things he wants because they know they'll result in the crashing of global commerce into a state of chaos from which they plan to excavate the rotting scraps.

They want it formally dead, but NATO is already functionally dead as a geopolitical reality. Even if he backs down (wouldn't bet on it), there's no going back from sending European capitals into a spiraling panic that the US is seriously about to invade one of them. You can't unring that bell.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland

"Why does no one trust media anymore?"

I dont know. Maybe because you're publishing stories framed as "why are these underage girls having sex with and ruining the lives of all of these powerful men?"

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.

It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.

We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C.

He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C.

They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important.

We. Should. Be. Furious.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Replacing the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics with a stooge, proclaiming that crime is up when it’s down, and taking over the Smithsonian are all about trying to take over facts.

But facts are facts whether or not Trumpists agree.

The American Model required a foundation of political stability and state capacity to enable technological innovation and economic growth.

Destabilise the politics by hollowing out the state and you destroy technological advantages and economic prosperity
