Beyond frustrating and disappointing that CBS got a rare exclusive sitdown interview with Musk and didn’t ask him a single question about his reckless and ignorant cuts to USAID and all the lives that are being lost across the world as a result of it:

It’s striking how often hate toward Jewish Americans is met with silence. In a country that prides itself on justice and free speech, too many look away. Standing up against antisemitism shouldn’t be political—it should be moral. Indifference only fuels it.

2C by 2029. 0.5C HIGHER than the ‘safe limit’ agreed by 195 countries in Paris less than 10 years ago. Yet I’ve not heard a single journalist ask a leader or politician about this. We’re being boiled to death by a media & politics in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry.

Privatization makes things worse. Look at air traffic control in Canada or space exploration in the USA. Privatization doesn’t save money or deliver better services. It makes profits for shareholders. Water, electricity, transportation services, and healthcare should be public not private goods.

If you have to reject your own studies when they don’t fit your agenda, it’s time to reconsider your agenda.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.
