Reason enough to still start a civil war: ‘Speech that is purchased is not “free.” This fact exposes the error animating the Supreme Court decisions in First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti (1978) and Citizens United v.

Corporate persons cancel the people’s democratic rights to diverse interests. Their right is only the right to the criminal expropriation of capital without any legal consequences! The judiciary has been bought. Western democracy is paying the price for the rise of billionaires’ antitrust monopolies financing fascist cults. Purges, wars, disease, extreme poverty, starvation and Ecocide is inevitable until it is corrected and fair justice restored. A better world is possible if the people desire it. Proportional Representation of diverse interests is sovereignty, not the corruption of one, two or many parties bought by the ideology of corporate capitals and sold by snake oil grifters!

Enough with the 'ORGANIZATION' did something shitty. Some PERSON made that choice, some cowardly board or vp or ceo (PEOPLE) ordered it done.

Place blame where it belongs.

"A study reveals the intimidation suffered by scientists working on the dangers of tobacco, alcohol and ultra-processed foods. Discrediting, threats and surveillance are just some of the methods used by these industries." Very good article in French

...“regardless of your politics, no one is really OK with a corporation lying to consumers”

New Report Exposes Meat & Dairy Industry’s Climate Obstruction Tactics

“We had Big Tobacco, we had Big Oil, now we have Big Meat and Dairy. The New Merchants of Doubt is a stunning exposé of Big Meat and Dairy tactics. The report outlines specific and egregious examples of misinformation campaigns, greenwashing, and political interference. It clarifies how industry manipulates the price and types of food we eat.”
