I just think #TheEconomist is #discrediting itself by #platforming #MAGA #bullshit that even 5th graders can callout as #Kindergarten-esque #mobbing.

Again: #REFORUSA is an act of self- and mutual defense at this point!

As Nace explained in an interview with The Washington Informer, #MerrellDow had been 'financing scientific articles to get their way.' In some ways, here was the fake news of its time: If you lacked any compelling scientific support for your case, one way to undermine the credibility of your opponents was by calling their evidence 'junk science.'"
