Americans' #Trust in #Media Remains at Trend Low
Trust in political and civic institutions highest for local and state #governments, lowest for media and #Congress
Source: https://news.gallup.com/poll/651977/americans-trust-media-remains-trend-low.aspx
In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.
"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

Monday’s vote by the Israeli Knesset banning the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) contradicts principles of the UN Charter, violates #Israel’s obligations under international law, and sets a dangerous precedent, the head of the Agency, Philippe #Lazzarini has warned.

Will Rogers – ”The Cowboy Philosopher” – urged Americans to avoid politicizing every issue. When it came to politics, he urged people to maintain skepticism, perspective and civility.
He was wildly popular in his time. A century later, his insights might still prove useful for navigating tumultuous election years.

View politics critically but charitably and with good old common sense: cowboy commentator Will Rogers’ wisdom for 2024

Over 200,000 subscribers reportedly flee The Washington Post after owner Jeff Bezos blocked an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
@npr reports "the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well." Several columnists have also resigned from the paper over the decision.

LGBTQ+ voters in these 4 states could swing the 2024 presidential election
LGBTQ+ voters make up a relatively small percentage of the American electorate. But they’re poised to play an outsize role in the ‘tipping-point’ states most likely to decide the election.The Conversation
American citizens : On a scale of 1-10, how nervous are you about the election? And when I say “election” I am talking about the voting AND everything surrounding the election. (What TFG will do, what the GOP and his supporters might do, etc)
1 is not scared at all, 10 is terrified.
I’d say I’m about a 7-8 right now. I am optimistic the VP can pull it off, but nervous about what TFG and his supporters will do when she does. . Feel free to comment and boost. #politics #uspolitics
You cannot look at these sorts of results and say with a straight face that they are all equivalent measures and that an average of them is remotely meaningful. Just no.
if you ever find yourself wondering "how did crypto bros get all this money to try to take over the government?" a big part of the answer is "the government gave it to them in the form of covid stimulus and PPP loans".
the crypto industry alone is now responsible for roughly half of all corporate money attempting to influence the election. you'd never know it though because their campaigns never mention crypto.

“The last time the United States launched a mass deportation effort … U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent were rounded up and sent to Mexico—a place that many had never been before. The mass deportations that #Trump is proposing would be devastating for our economy and dangerous for American Latinos.”

UN #Security Council to meet Monday over #Israel's strike on #Iran

I always ask myself whether these people are still capable of logical thinking? If this Israeli airstrike was criminal, what was the Iranian one? If the Iranian one was a justified retaliation in his way of thinking, why is the retaliation of the retaliation criminal? Why are such people tolerated in the #government?

Let’s clear up some misconceptions.
Degrowth does NOT mean condemning millions of people in the Global South to starvation.
Degrowth is about social justice and climate justice. This means allowing the Global South to achieve something close to parity with a Global North that is sharply reducing consumption and energy use.
On the other hand, a continuation of endless economic growth, i.e. Business As Usual, DOES mean condemning hundreds of millions in the Global South to eco-climate disasters, drought, and starvation.

She opened her remarks by invoking the rallying cry she issued at the DNC: “Do Something.” "It's too close for my liking," she said of the race. “I came out here to Michigan because I am someone who takes her own advice to heart. I know that if we want to help this country finally turn the page on the #politics of #hatred & #division. We can’t just sit around & complain. No, we’ve got to: #DoSomething!”
