Just an insignificant comment: I can not understand how a well-educated person, ie a good friend, can “like” an Erick Erickson post on Substack. (And he voted for the T-V ticket) but still? What on earth!!! Are we in 1950s China???

2. DEFEND INSTITUTIONS 👉🏼Institutions will not automatically defend themselves. They need to be defended. 👉🏼Many reasonable people assumed in Germany in 1933, as many do now, that rulers who came to power through institutions cannot destroy them. This assumption was wrong. #SnyderOnTyranny

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

I’ve seen enough to make a call: Bluesky is going to be a legit competitor to Twitter. Sweet.
