Nearly half of an elite US epidemiology program known as the "disease detectives" were dismissed by the Trump administration on Friday, according to sources familiar with the matter, dealing a blow to public health efforts as fears rise over bird flu.
No, voters seem to approve of all this so far. Polls are positive. Swing voter focus groups like the gutting and are not concerned.
TBH the US government needed to be turned on its head, and that positive fantasy is being sold to the public as it’s reorganized to protect billionaires.
So… TBH, unless there’s some kind of social media revolution overnight, I would probably write us off :(
Social media is why nobody is doing shit. Everyone is quote dunking and liking posts as if it does shit.
Exactly, we need to drop it and organize like people used to, put flyers over the city. The social media only gives you illusion that you have a platform, in reality they still control who sees your message (if anyone).
A big part of the way people “used to” organize relied on physical infrastructure and institutions that often no longer exist: walkable “third places,” fraternal organizations/social clubs (outside of college), etc.
Who would read the flyers? Everyone is buried in their phones.
I would. Not everyone is on the phone while walking. In fact majority of people aren’t.
they aren’t swing voters anymore, they’ve been swindled and lied to and they ate it right up. might as well sign 'em up for a redcap of the month club membership.
