Don't be gaslit:

They are Nazis. This is a Nazi salute. They are not hiding it, or dog whistling, they are announcing it. They have come out as Nazis.

Show the people in your life these images all together. Make them understand this is not an accident, or a fluke.

It is happening here.

One wild aspect of elected office is way Republicans use LGBTQ politicians as a confessional booth.

Nearly every day in the Montana House, Republicans would apologize for their votes, tell me they wish the culture war would move on, etc.

But rarely would they actually change their vote.

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.

They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).

People have a weird notion that "non-profit" means "workers take a monastic vow of poverty." That's definitely not the case, especially if you want competent people working for you. The real question is whether the non-profit is effectively serving its purpose. Wikipedia definitely is.

Pandemics have killed millions of people throughout history.

On growth as ideology.

We are, obviously, deluded if we think eternal growth is possible. "Growth" is possible to a mental place, where the status quo is good enough.
