Fascism, is, at its core, the complete rejection of competence. Competence is actually solving problems - with expertise, education, diligence, science, and the hard work of building and harnessing those things. Fascism is the shortcut of "solving problems" by blaming and taking from other people.

Trump is foolishly but deliberately shrinking the American presence in several key regions, but because he and Pete Hegseth are total incompetents, they have unintentionally allowed Iran to destroy the entire US military infrastructure in the Middle East archive.is/yviFY

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

Your electric bill shouldn't go up just so these Corrupt Bigshots can cash in. Billion-dollar AI corporations want massive amounts of electricity and water, while working Texans are left worrying about higher utility bills.

UK shares findings of damning climate crisis national security report suppressed under Starmer
El Niño poses critical threat to nations’ defences, says Ed Miliband in presentation to global foreign ministers The UK has warned countries around the world that the climate and nature crises and the coming El Niño threaten their national security and defence, presenting foreign ministries with the findings of an explosive report suppressed under Keir Starmer. Ed Miliband, the foreign secretary, made a presentation to the foreign ministers of the EU as well as Kenya and other countries on Wednesday night at a private meeting during the UN general assembly in New York, based on the report by the UK’s spy chiefs that found the collapse of natural systems around the world would lead to conflict, migration and food shortages.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.
