In 1945, the US War Department realized that its soldiers stationed in Europe fighting the Nazis probably needed a good pamphlet explaining what fascism was, and how it occurs ...

... so they wrote one

and in it, they noted that America was not at all immune to this

So they explained how fascism would come to the US

HI @Fanua, this account is actually the account to which the Guardian's press.coop followers have been migrated after Flipboard took over press.coop's accounts (read more here). https://about.flipboard.com/fediverse/flipboard-takes-over-press-coop-accounts/.

Unfortunately since The Guardian has stopped updating its account on Flipboard, we are no longer able to post its content. The account you're replying to here has been created to "house" The Guardian's followers in case they wish to build their own presence in the fediverse. We can move those followers to any server, any time, and will of course do that if The Guardian joins Mastodon.

The disinformation machine that is right wing/corporate-owned media, centralized social media owned by the likes of Zuck and Musk, and Russia is a huge reason why we’re where we are. We will get nowhere until and unless something is done to counter it.

@garymarcus has a great article on this that captures my view nicely: Hinton's Nobel is a mistake, but the Chemistry Nobel's inclusion of Hassabis and Jumper for AlphaFold was deserved recognition of important, original work.

Reminder: These were our chances of exceeding 2ºC *prior* to the US election result.

Now we can be certain we will be breaching that threshold and more.

We have NO TIME to lose to prepare, as best we can, for the consequences of this.

CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations, unlike billionaire entrepreneurs or hedge fund managers. The CEOs of America’s largest companies almost universally oppose Trump because he is the antithesis of who they are—servant leaders who have succeeded by bringing people together to win as a team, with integrity, global thinking, and open minds.

This year, Trump has taken increasingly extreme anti-business, including proposing draconian, universal 10% tariffs on all imports from all countries, which would hurt businesses and consumers while raising prices across the board. Trump has also suggested he would curtail the independence of the Federal Reserve. No CEO relishes the prospect of a politicized Fed driving destabilizing see-saw swings in monetary policy to satisfy presidential whims.

People in #Georgia rise up for their future. Giving up is not an option.
