The mass censorship this administration is doing is happening in big ways (Colbert) + countless medium and small ways that many people are not allowed to say because their employer has forbidden them; they won’t risk losing their job to speak up. There are lists of forbidden words & images.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

Baton Rouge supermarket employee Jordan allowed Jack, who has autism, to help him stock shelves for more than 30 minutes when he showed an interest in doing it. Jack Ryan's grandfather called the kind gesture "a miracle in action."

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.
