"The goal is not just enforcement but fear. By deputizing the public to surveil and report on each other, the government creates a culture of silence and repression." thedissident.news/fbi-posts-omin…

"The fossil fuel industry has a vested interest in maintaining the cultural status quo: the white-picket fence in the suburbs where the white wife stays home to take care of her white kids and her white husband drives to work in his gas-guzzling car." heated.world/p/fossil-fuel-…
