And of course it's all tied up in the same concept: birthrates, fertility rates, who gets to be mobile and who doesn't during a time of great change and fluctuation. A global, far right power grab with Big Tech complicit in leveraging the climate catastrophe against us all
This is what comes of not listening to the border reporters ten years ago
Or the debunkers five years ago

They do this over and over again, everywhere, unerringly finding the fellow travelers or the weak links, all over the country and to journalism's detriment. They've done it for decades, and you see what it's done to the country
Pretty gross that "objectivity" mandated that reporters couldn't call out literal white supremacist conspiracy theories for what they were until we had yet another bloodbath
Still clearly very tough for a lot of news orgs, as you can see by how it's getting danced around and treated as though it's a brand-new discovery or concept
Which is why we're seeing this jockeying for global resources and power right now, to get it locked in while the public is confused and to attempt to weaponize these changes against us all. It's also the reason for all the disinformation campaigns and coup attempts since 2020
Some of you reporters, editors, and politicians may remember that I cold-called you begging to look at the intersection of climate change and disinformation in 2019 or so because we only had about a year and a half to get it together before the catastrophe begin. Well here we are
Just thinking back fondly to September 2 2005, the day I made Tom DeLay's eye twitch at the Astrodome by shouting at him that he wasn't telling the truth about Katrina
Maybe September 1, I should have fudged the date, I don't remember. But anyway fuck that guy
Thanks to the decades-long, well-funded, almost invisible tendrils of the #TantonNetwork in absolutely every aspect of American political power and influence, matched by similar efforts all over the world. A global, far right power grab.
If you're finding the scope and scale of this difficult to grasp, just consider how easy it is for just one person to spoil and undo decades of progress. Destruction is so much easier than creation or mitigation
And that's why it's all centered around borders, immigration, and birth rates. Because of these orgs, which were brought en masse into DHS and other government agencies by the Trump administration. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
