What is the "truth" depends on who is in control of the information. Different admins, different "truths." That is why we need educators, people who empower other people form their OWN reasoned opinions, not just indoctrinate them with dogma. We should always remember that the powers that be silenced even Galileo and that claims of mis/dis-information (heresy) can also be used to silence dissent and good science.

"The Pipeline Made Visible

Unlike old #authoritarianism built on fear and force, this new system rules through code, capital, and infrastructure — making resistance feel architecturally impossible.
It’s a self-reinforcing loop: #Ideology fuels venture capital → #capital captures the state → #thestate feeds the same private systems that built it. A new model of power — #privatizedsovereignty."

#Trump signed an EO targeting the #antifascist movement, known as #antifa, threatening “investigatory & prosecutorial action” against those who financially support it.

But Trump’s order said that he was declaring antifa a “domestic #terrorist organization”—a designation that DOES NOT EXIST under US #law. Anti-fascism, like fascism itself, is a broad political #ideology rather than a specific organization, & the US does not have a domestic terrorism #law.
