Democracy and the rule of law are threatened without an agreement between government and its citizens on the objectivity of truth and reality. A breakdown in this agreement puts the definition of truth and reality into the hands of those with the most social, political, and/or economic power.

Funny how I have trans friends of all varieties and have never been chastised or canceled for mistakenly getting pronouns wrong, and have plenty of vegan friends and have never been lectured about my own eating habits nor canceled, and have lots of friends who drive hybrids and EVs and have never been shamed for what I drive. It's almost like that monolithic uptight left you see everywhere in the panicfuel media outlets is just made-up bullshit to suit their PR angle.

UAW member Sean Crawford of Warren, Michigan spoke on his break at GM plant about his Labor Notes article on tariffs, healthcare and international labor solidarity. It’s the capitalists, the auto factory owners and others who have sent jobs abroad. There is no current preparation to build factories for “returning” jobs.
