🔬🔬🔬 When pseudoscience meets tyranny, the result is catastrophic. Millions dead, all because an idiot obsessed with conspiracy theories and junk science was given power. Let’s not repeat history—keep science-deniers far away from positions of influence.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.
