Do I really need to tell you that capitalism is out of control when billionaires are having their own private space race while a heat wave wiped out millions of coastal wildlife and an entire Canadian town?

Most of what I've seen from Rufo entails him producing primary source material, which is more than can be said for many "journalists."

Like many, the "billionaire space race" brought to mind Gil Scott-Heron's 1970 poem "Whitey On the Moon" which critiqued race-class dynamics in aftermath of Apollo 11's moon landing.

Take race out of this equation. How the eff does a school librarian not get immediately fired for cutting a 7-year-old's hair without her parent's permission? You could get criminally charged with battery for this https://t.co/KZ08OIOZoM
