Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.

We’ve been programmed to believe every issue has two sides. Left vs. right. Good vs. evil. But real life is messier—and centrism is the only path back to sanity. It’s not weak. It’s radical. And it might just save the country. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/unplugging...

A case for centrism as a mindset, not a party line.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Because I’m a 90s kid, I recognize this. It’s basically gang initiation. It’s about breaking & humiliating the new recruits. You force them to go commit the most brutal acts, as a way to proving their loyalty to the gang. Marco is being hazed. And responding with servility & glee. He’s a ghoul.
