"We don’t want your Nazi cars / take a one-way trip to Mars" is a pretty good chant

It's sabotage meant to wreck America as an economic and every other kind of global power. It's time to accept that fact.

What can the rise of "WEIRD" and its quick murder at the hands of consultants teach us about the Democrats' messaging crisis? For gil duran and George Lakoff's FrameLab Newsletter, I looked at why elected Democrats are terrified of pleasing their base. theframelab.org/what-weird-rev…

“The entire business model of Silicon Valley is surveillance. It harvests our data in order to sell us stuff. We are already living inside the architecture of totalitarianism.” - Carole Cadwalladr Watch the explosive first talk from #TED2025 now: t.ted.com/1oPTHXj
