Now there's a memorable stat!

"Colleges and universities are among America’s most competitive international exporters. In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined."

I've mapped those actions onto 5 themes.

Theme 1: Weakening Democratic Checks and Balances.

Checks and balances on power include an independent congress and judiciary, independent oversight bodies and ensuring free and fair elections.

All are being attacked. 2/18

There are likely effective vaccines for major health concerns like Bird Flu, Lyme Disease, and even multiple forms of cancer - just to name a few - but we just lost funding for further study, our entire vaccine advisory group, most drug approval personnel at FDA, and HHS is overseen by antivaxxers…

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none.

Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

Here's what's really happening with that 'special relationship'
Blackrock just bought 3 UK Freeports sold by Hong Kong in a $22,8 billion global deal pushed by Donald Trump. This is significant because Blackrock (and Blackstone) are now in an official partnership with Starmer's Govt.

Peak rail fares are unfair and put people off using public transport.

In 2023 the Scottish Greens removed them, only for the SNP to restore them as soon as we were out of the room.

Join me in telling the SNP that it's time to scrap peak rail fares for good. 👇

On Saturday Trump abducted a legal US resident w/o a warrant because he peacefully protested. His wife is a US citizen, is 8 mo pregnant, & neither she, nor his lawyer know where he is.

This Is Fascism.

Calin Georgescu was raided. They found $10m in cash, tickets to Moscow and links to Wagner. Trump pressured Romanian officials to let him stand, they even sent Vance over to seal the deal. Why did the US want a Putin puppet running Romania? This was Musks tweet AFTER the arrest.

Shocking to see such ministerial complacency in the face of risk that our fragile democracy is further undermined. The issue of reforming party funding was in Labour’s manifesto & they should act now, before what little trust is left is totally destroyed

A glimpse of how Facebook operates. 1. It sponsors research into news avoidance and lack of trust in news. 2. It throttles links to news articles, but frames drop in engagement as lack of interest…3. In times of crisis it shuts off citizen access to news www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
