"Either way, you find very little #nonpartisan depiction of reality, in all its morally ambiguous verity. Instead you get camp: Ideologies plucked from their original formats — internet videos, fringe blogs, cabinet meetings — and flattened into #cosplay and puppetry. For #Hollywood, this is a useful way to flatter viewers, who get to feel above the fray. What’s lost, of course, is any kind of #enlightenment or ethical confrontation, as opposed to mere #voyeurism — any dream of seeing real murkiness, conflict or shades of gray existing within the narrative universe, or within a given character."

More revolting, disgusting, unadulterated narcissistic behavior from u know who… his actual self is a hubristic parody

#Trump unveiled a new “Trump class” of Navy battleships Monday, describing them as a superior war fighting vessel to replace an “old and tired & obsolete” US fleet.

Right now, #BritishColumbia has the lowest industrial #water rates in #Canada - effectively giving away one of our most vital #PublicResources to some of the world’s largest industries. Meanwhile, communities are left struggling to fund the response to worsening droughts, floods, wildfires, and drinking water crises.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Bringing BC’s industrial water rates in line with other provinces is a fair, practical way to:

Fund stronger watershed security
Support sustainable economic growth.
Keep communities safe and resilient to floods, fires, and water shortages.
Safeguard BC jobs, grow food, and protect the economy — every industry depends on water.
Do it all without costing taxpayers a dime.
This is a simple, fair, and fiscally responsible solution that will build long-term watershed security across BC.

Investing in #WatershedSecurity aligns with the values of a significant majority of voters, as 78% of British Columbians want to see major investments from the provincial government to protect freshwater in BC.

#Trump's #OneBigBeautifulBill cuts federal #spending on #Medicaid & #AffordableCareAct marketplaces by ~$1 trillion over a decade, acc/to the #nonpartisan #CBO, threatening the physical & financial #health of tens of millions of #Americans.

The bill, which the #Senate passed Tues, would reverse many of the health coverage gains of #Biden & #Obama, whose policies made it easier for millions of people to access #healthcare & reduced the US #uninsured rate to record lows.
