From an expert: "Last night was the worst night in US civil-military relations since the Civil War." Loyalty purges of the military are very, very bad.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

Hi! So… If the CPAC convention had at least 2 Nazi salutes form the stage, then it’s a a Nazi convention. Hope that’s clear now.

Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. Especially ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

The issue is that it wasn’t just the online left, it was mainstream news orgs headlining inflation as a way to cover “economic anxiety” even as you saw real wage growth and full employment. Economic journalism broadly failed badly to explain the stakes in 2024

If you considered posting something critical of the Trump regime but then decided against due to fear for retaliation, then you are no longer living in a democracy.

At this point the norms-based worldview that guides these leaders- don’t interfere with a new President, stay out of the limelight, be statesmen etc has become an affliction. It is aiding and abetting the demise of democracy.

True that the silence of establishment (much less progressive) opposition leaders in a moment like this is truly exceptional in comparative context. Perhaps a function of the still-powerful yet misplaced sense of American exceptionalism that still dominates elite circles.

I think the parliamentary system does a far better job of maintaining and rallying opposition. You have a clear opposition leader right there calling out your prime minister and offering an alternative. (Having said, the Republicans always seem pretty good at acting as an opposition.)

Anecdotal European stuff: I have spoken to a few Italians about the US “situation” lately and all are pretty much asking themselves the same question: where are the American opposition leaders? Where are Obama, Harris, Biden? Their absence is as horrifying as the acts of the current administration.

"We have nothing against Jews, we just hate Zionists" (vaguely defined) Now has its inverse version "We have nothing against Jews, we just hate anti-Zionists" (anti-MAGA Jews) This version is not put out by noisy yet powerless activists, but rather by the US government.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

I love my @flomask.bsky.social and they're still 30% off until the end of the month. It's comfortable enough to wear for hours. Plus, mint green & cherry blossom covers reduce some of the friction I feel (and face) from other people since I mask 99% of the time due to long COVID. www.flomask.com

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Some of DOGE is retribution, some is corruption, some is incompetence, some is a mix of those, but this is destruction for destruction's sake. It's undermining American science, industry, and commerce just because they can.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

There is a massive scandal within the NHS that the public aren’t being told about. 20,000 doctors are facing the prospect of being unable to find a speciality training job this August due to the government restricting the spaces. This means drs can’t train to become specialist consultants or GPs.
