Back in 2023, Elon Musk infamously posted and reposted a meme falsely claiming Republicans hadn't changed their views in the last decade, while Democrats had moved left. An FT study confirms that was a lie: Democrats are typical for Western democracies, and MAGA and Musk are _nearly off the chart_.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

Authoritarian regimes often silence health agencies early on to consolidate control. Examples include Nazi Germany, Stalin’s USSR, and Castro’s Cuba, where public health communication was subordinated to propaganda, suppressing transparency and dissent. #wakeup #project2025IsReal

Pausing health agencies’ communications early on can signal authoritarian control, aiming to shape narratives, suppress dissent, and limit transparency. It raises concerns about accountability, especially in democracies where transparency is critical. #DemocracyDiesInBroadDaylight
