Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

As a Yankiwi who has seen this movement up close in the US, closing libraries is an early step in authoritarianism. Those who stop access to information and self improvement want to control others to ruin them and reward themselves. Libraries are crucial in all communities. Keep them open.

We're in a coup, which means we're in a nightmare, which means we're all ramped up, so let me offer you some deep time, perseverance, and beauty, before you and I go back to the work.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

The classic irony holds: the very incentives our economic system forced onto science are the reason people can claim they don't trust science, and why Big Science--like the particle physics research examples here--now produces such garbage. Sabine is a truth teller and we should all listen.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Trump’s MAHA Commission announcement mentioned ADHD medications as a burden for US kids and a “dire threat.” Not mentioned: FIREARMS, the leading killer of US children over age 1. Shocker.

I’m telling myself this so I might as well tell everyone else: An essential component of a democracy in the 21st century is that, no matter how complicated policy can be, the public has both a right and a duty to understand it.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Hey, @davidfrum.bsky.social, here’s an idea: COVID deniers won because folks with cushy jobs at publications like The Atlantic were extremely quick to join right-wing dark money groups and their fringe scientists in demanding we abandon nonpharmaceutical interventions and layered protection.

The thing about stories is they never expire. If you create them, they will always be around (as long as the paper copies hold up or the digital files are still around). No one can read the stories you never wrote.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

The Soviet proverb is, "The future is certain, but the past is unpredictable." A propagandist can choose what future story they will tell, but that means they have to keep changing the past to fit with the ever changing new narratives. They knew the power and peril of revisionism better than anyone.
