Statement from the Lausanne Universities Collective for Academic Freedom, Solidarity and Democracy (CLADS) on the danger facing US research and researchers. What Trump is doing looks like a coup d'état and endangers democracy. clads.ch/en/us-resear...

So, social networks and generative AI's succeeded in making Orwell's "War is peace. Freedom is slavery." reality. His "Ignorance is strength" has already been embraced by Trumpian politics.

Dreaming of a headline that actually says "Trump is a Nazi wannabe dictator." Fact 1: it's a Nazi salue, a Zieg Heil ffs. Fact 2: "third term" is code for "fuck your democracy, we're going to do everything to stay in power forever." It's not even subtle.

How much democracy-destroying facts [1] (not opinions) coming from the US will be necessary politicians, business leaders and above all the media (in particular @nzz.ch, @tagesanzeiger.bsky.social) to wake up? 1/n

Fantastic: finally, it seems that resistance is taking form against what looks like an absolutely unconstitutional take-over

🦠💭 As pandemic memories fade, so does the urgency to learn from them. But forgetting could be a dangerous mistake. 🔍 Read the latest #NRP80 blog by @danielsaraga.bsky.social on why remembering #Covid-19 is crucial for future #preparedness. 📖 www.defacto.expert/2025/02/03/t...

#Covid19 seems away from us and many of use don't want to talk about it anymore. This does not help preparing for upcoming pandemics. I wrote about our wish to forget covid in the blog @nrp80.bsky.social on @defactoexpert.bsky.social www.defacto.expert/2025/02/03/t...

Just spitballing, but things that could happen today: *Court injunction protecting USAID *Dems demand hearings on Musk's role *Someone introduce articles of impeachment *Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers *Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

Things like the "Banned Word Scrub" can feel Orwellian, but distant. Today I am reviewing abstracts for an upcoming conference, & realising some may be withdrawn due to this. This is a conference about human viruses & health - not politics. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02... 1/2

"Everyone was happy to restate in generalities that capitalism is not great, but very few people were focused on the specific characteristics, actors and strategies of present-day capitalism" Very interesting hard-look at today's Left.
