2. What if we have entered a new age of impunity, in which elite interests can get away with murder, through a combination of capturing or bypassing the judicial system, distraction and brute force? This may now be the case in the US and Israel, and could be starting to happen here.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.

The right has historically and ongoingly been much better at weaponizing language than moderates/liberals or the left and yet here we are in a timeline where we’re being told that the problem is progressive language, and not mainstream institutions laundering right wing talking points and propaganda

Trust in science has been declining for years, and one contributing factor may be the challenge of understanding scientific jargon. 🧪 #AI
Simple science summaries written by AI help people understand research and trust scientists
Scientists use jargon and complicated language to describe their work. Regular folks ‘get it’ more when descriptions are simpler – and think better of the researchers themselves.
