Reposted by Michael ZysmanJonathan V. Last @jvl.bsky.social · 15/11/2024I can't think of a historical analogue. Maybe you can. My larger argument is that the vaccine stuff is a stand-in for *everything* in the Trump era. It's an act of self-harm by our country born not as a cry out against injustice or hardship, but as a result of boredom and decadence. 4/4 1719026
Reposted by Michael ZysmanChrisO_wiki @chriso-wiki.bsky.social · 16/11/20249/ Musk made his endorsement of Trump on July 13, 2024. The analysis suggests that Musk did more than merely give verbal support for Trump, but also changed X's algorithm on the same date to systematically promote his own and other prominent pro-Republican acounts. /end 171445322

Reposted by Michael ZysmanChris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country. 1166327937620

What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS! 225248772739

Reposted by Michael ZysmanGeorge Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Very little of what Trump does these days amazes me. Any one of the last three of Trump’s Cabinet-level picks (Gabbard as DNI, Gaetz as AG, RFK for HHS), standing alone, would arguably have been the worst in American history. (1/2) 395112121508
