So. Ukraine is fucked. Europe is less safe. Our former allies will never trust us again. They certainly won’t share Intel when the likes of Kash Patel are being floated as CIA director. Women in the US are even less safe than usual and they’ll die in record numbers 1/x

So it’s important not to posit false equivalence here: FDA says X, other experts say Y. This stages the story as a disagreement between experts. This is not the case. This entire year has been a sustained attack on vaccines. This is the story.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
