“The ecosystem of research and the creation of new knowledge in universities has been so powerful for American prosperity, American freedom, American ingenuity. To have that disrupted by government overreach is a disaster for this country.” —Wesleyan University President Michael Roth on @msnbc.com

🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵

I'm not sure how much longer our Mississippi Free Press account will post to X, but for now it makes a good case study—and a good case for why other newsrooms shouldn't fear moving to BlueSky. Look at the difference in engagement for identical posts with the same links. Left: BlueSky, Right: X 🧵

A clear sense of what it values, and what it wants users to do with it, is a superpower for a platform. Grateful someone on the internet still values links and is backs that up with product decisions!

Elon Musk wants to eliminate $2 trillion from the US budget. To understand that, we looked at his history of slashing at his companies which has led to the removal of — among other stuff — cereal, toilet paper and sensors that could have made Teslas safer.

I can no longer listen to coastal journalists/talking heads talk about the middle of the country. The lack of cultural competency is malpractice. The lens they’re working with is too simple for this moment in time. Your practice has to be layered to be useful.
