We are witnessing a poisonous effort to destroy what the vast majority of Americans know is a key pillar of public health.

Vaccines are responsible for 40% of the reduction in child mortality achieved in the last half century.

Pentagon suspends participation in think tank events The move comes a week after the Defense Department pulled out of the Aspen Security Forum due to β€œthe evil of globalism.”

The Trump administration specifically banned participation at Halifax out of its on-brand crusade against globalism or whatever. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

There Is Only One AI Company. Welcome to the Blob As Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft forge partnerships and deals, the AI industry is looking more like one interconnected machine. What does that mean for all of us?

AI companies, funders, and government are all intertwined in one big heaping trillion dollar blob. Here's what it means. www.wired.com/story/ai-ind...

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: β€œTo end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.
