"Lost trust? A lost future!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Let's talk about trust - or rather, the lack of it.

Somewhere along the way, I came across the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer 2025 - it's worth a look.

The fact is, it's a pretty depressing read! They call it a crisis of grievance. As I've been saying - that tracks.

What are the findings? 3 key facts.

Fact 1: Majority hold grievances against government, business, and the rich
Sixty-one percent globally have a moderate or high sense of grievance, which is defined by a belief that government and business make their lives harder and serve narrow interests, and wealthy people benefit unfairly from the system.

Fact 2: Widespread grievance is eroding trust across the board
Those with a high sense of grievance distrust all four institutions (business, government, media, and NGOs).

Fact 3: Hostile activism is seen as a legitimate tool to drive change
To bring about change, 4 in 10 would approve of one or more of the following forms of hostile activism: attacking people online, intentionally spreading disinformation, threatening or committing violence, damaging public or private property. This sentiment is most prevalent among respondents ages 18-34 (53 percent approve of at least one).

The report makes plain that over a decade of crises have helped to fuel this crisis of grievance.

So where does it leave us? We are witnessing nothing short of a societal transformation – one driven by a profound crisis of grievance that threatens to reshape our institutions, our economy, and our very future! And we all know we are living through this in real-time, since we know that a mindset of grievance is driving a lot of the change swirling around us right now.

What can we conclude? Several things. Keep reading!

www.un-ilibrary.orgAccess to Remedy in Cases of Business-related Human Rights Abuse | United Nations iLibraryOver the course of six years, and in response to successive mandates from the Human Rights Council, OHCHR’s Accountability and Remedy Project developed guidance on how to enhance the effectiveness of the three categories of remedial mechanisms covered in the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. For each category of mechanism, OHCHR spent two years consulting with those who use, design, and administer the mechanism, among others, to identify good-practice lessons, resulting in a set of reports presented to the Human Rights Council. This publication compiles the guidance and explanatory notes from those reports focusing on non-State-based grievance mechanisms.

"This is someone who is #unstable, obsessed w/ #revenge, consumed w/ #grievance & out for unchecked #power. Donald #Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people #divided & #afraid of each other," #KamalaHarris said criticizing Trump for his "#EnemyWithin" language.
Pivoting to her promise to Americans, she pledged "to seek #CommonGround & #CommonSense solutions to make your lives better. I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make #progress."

Fox News’s interview of Kamala Harris was grievance theater, not political journalism

After 10 minutes of playing immigration “#gotcha”,
Baier pivoted to the obvious next subject,
airing a video clip in which Harris expressed support for transgender people in prisons.

Immigrant hatred.

Transphobia.

And later, Joe Biden’s age.

Baier was running through the Fox News greatest hits playlist.

This was #grievance #theater, not political journalism.

❇️. But Harris got in her licks. She had her moments.

Chiming in afterwards in what some saw as 🔸corporate damage control,
Baier’s colleagues on Fox News gushed their approval.

Martha MacCallum termed Baier’s performance “masterful”, while Dana Perino analyzed the interview as “super good”.

I can’t imagine that too many viewers agreed.
If they came to it expecting to learn more about Harris’s policies or get a true sense of her character, they would have been disappointed.

That wasn’t the gameplan, and it wasn’t the result.

But Harris accomplished something anyway.

⭐️Merely by sitting down with a Fox host, she made a few statements.

✅First, that she is unafraid and is willing to speak to all voters.
It’s hard to imagine Donald Trump, these days, submitting to an interview with, say, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC;

just this week, he turned away from a CNBC interview, and earlier canceled a CBS News 60 Minutes agreement.

✅ Second, Harris did manage to introduce a few snippets of reality to dedicated Fox viewers who probably haven’t been exposed to some of the most troubling criticisms of Trump.

“That he’s unfit to serve. That he’s unstable. That’s he’s dangerous,” was how she characterized what millions of Americans are feeling.

“And that people are exhausted.”

She even was able to mention, at some length, the harsh view of the former commander-in-chief from #Mark #Milley, who served in two top military roles
– including chair of the joint chiefs of staff
– during the Trump administration.

Milley has called Trump♦️ “fascist to the core”
and has said that
💥no one has ever been as dangerous to the United States.

Even the WSJ’s #RightWing editorialists thought that VP #KamalaHarris “won the debate because she came in w/a strategy to taunt & goad #Trump into diving down rabbit holes of personal #grievance & #vanity,” while #KarlRove added in a column that the night “was a #TrainWreck for him, far worse than anything Team Trump could have imagined.”

And then, in a universe all its own, was #FoxNews.
