Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

proud to join fifteen human rights experts in this statement concerning the trump administration’s assault on human rights and institutions. ✊

Given the systematic ramping up of the rhetoric, this week may well be the exact date of the end of constitutional rule in the U.S. Once Musk&co openly defy court orders we are in Ermaechtigungsgesetz territory. (I thought those German words were just history but no) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

Mike here has laid out some of the important history that led us to this place, in which self-described "libertarians" who used to claim they believed in freedom, shifted to become authoritarians hell-bent on seizing power and destroying the US from the inside. I may have more to say on this soon.

Change comes both from changing opportunity structures at the systemic level *and* from individual actions. And yes 🦋 counts too 😉 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay 2025!

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

German authorities ‘well prepared’ for social media election interference. Social media companies including TikTok, Meta and X took part in an election stress test on Friday. www.politico.eu/article/germ...

Estive no programa Tik Tak, da Antena 1, com a jornalista Eduarda Maio, para falar de desinformação e inteligência artificial. Aqui fica o link para a conversa » www.rtp.pt/play/p12254/...

Cada pergunta dava um programa inteiro, sente-se sempre que ficou imenso por dizer, mas gostei de participar nesta conversa e estou grato pelo convite.

SCOTUS upholds the TikTok divest-or-ban law, saying free speech rights must yield to concerns that Chinese control of the app creates a national-security risk us14.campaign-archive.com?e=7e1cdfac4f

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

Free Our Feeds! What is it! @freeourfeeds.com F.O.F. is an independent group with the goal of running THIS👇 social network totally outside of Bluesky. It's not us. It's a fully independent version of the network. All the same users and posts. Running cooperatively with us and others.

Chinese officials reportedly discuss sale of TikTok in US to Elon Musk www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Today’s one for the history books: Mastodon is becoming an independent non-profit, and Bluesky is supporting #FreeOurFeeds taking their AT Protocol in the same direction.

We shape our tools and then our tools shape us and then we shape our tools again and the tools shape us again and then we shape the tools again and again the tools shape us, after which we shape the tools again and again the tools shape us and so on and so forth.

And there it is. There is literally no way Musk was coming up with all that poison about UK politics by himself…finally some reporting on who is drafting his tweets (I mean ‘advising’ him) From the Mail who know these dark corners well www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Don’t Mourn the Fact-Checkers Misguided decisions and the superiority of crowdsourcing mean Zuckerberg was right to change direction. But he must also keep Trump at arm’s length. www.persuasion.community/p/dont-mourn...

Very interesting!

Tonight Musk hosts AfD's Alice Weidel live on X. Several members of the European Parliament fx @dboeselager.volteuropa.org and @cschaldemose.bsky.social call on the Commission @ec.europa.eu to take (faster) action against what is seen as foreign interference www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Let’s fact-check Mark Zuckerberg’s fact-checking announcement: www.niemanlab.org/2025/01/zuck... (via @niemanlab.org)

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.
