So, US health and science agencies are no longer able to study or take part in public health messaging? The right has used the so-called “censorship” narrative to censor any and all research seeking to understand and/or intervene in their bullshit machine.

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

America has always been a bastion of freedom, holding the line against tyranny at home and abroad. No longer. Trump has placed us on the other side of that wall.

An underappreciated aspect of the Nazi rise is how quickly German society fell into line. In early March 1933, a majority of German voters voted against the Nazis. By late spring, pretty much the whole country backed them. How did that happen? Here's a little thread. (1/6)

As @davidpepperoh.bsky.social has written, this also means that there are politicians who face no competition, feel no need to be interested in voters and can be as corrupt and/or extreme as they like

Trump and his GOP enablers can try to retcon what happened on January 6th. But we all saw it with our own eyes. We saw Trump and R’s lie about the election being stolen. People believed them and attacked the Capitol to try and overturn an election. The truth is the truth. Liz, as usual, is right.

“Trump has always been defined by his striking lack of curiosity about the government he sought to lead,” writes @qjurecic.bsky.social. The more Americans know about their system of government, “the better they will be equipped to defend their democracy”:

Thank goodness for people like former WAPO cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, American hero. This may only be the rough of the cartoon she planned to run before she was told she couldn't, but it speaks volumes, perhaps, especially in this form.

This brilliant and on-point editorial cartoon was drawn by a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the Washington Post. It was rejected because Jeff Bezos is in it. Mainstream media has lost its integrity and independence and is failing us.

Stephen Hawkins and Daniel Yudkin conducted a large survey after the 2024 election. “Americans overwhelmingly—but, it turns out, mistakenly—believe that Democrats care more about advancing progressive social issues than widely shared economic ones,” they write.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

Good morning, Blue Sky. Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people. Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead. Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just. Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

If you honestly believe that the Supreme Court would have let a trump trial happen before the election regardless of when he was indicted or by whom, you have way more faith in the Supreme Court than I do.

Anyone, any entity, anywhere in the world can just pay him any amount (for anything he promises in return), and there's no disclosure of the payments, no oversight of any of it by anyone, and of course no potential bribery prosecution (of him) because... immune. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/u...
