Most people oppose ant-democratic practices, but a fair number of people are neutral about them. New research (N > 48,000) finds that neutrality is a threat to democracy--this large segment of the public tolerates anti-democratic elites www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

Shouldn't the Democrats have something like an Elon Donations Tracker posted on all of their websites and social media? Make this SALIENT? Might it make sense to point out repeatedly that he is a white supremacist and ask the public why he would be backing the GOP?

I’m not sure that explains the two skylines, neither of which is Chicago or Springfield. I think politicians are more credible when they don’t use AI, especially if they are promoting themselves as progressive. Like, designing that poster could’ve been an actual person‘s job.

It’s weird there are two skylines in this poster and even weirder that neither of them are Chicago even though one has what appears to be the Sears (Willis) tower.

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

A quarter-million Florida kids could lose the food assistance they need because Republicans decided working families should be the ones to pay. Meanwhile, Ashley Moody is celebrating these cuts. Don’t tell me you’re “pro-family” while taking food out of children’s mouths.

Three police officers pulled up to a nightclub where a man was stomping on a young woman. The officers stopped the attack and arrested him. Officer Xavier Jimenez, who wrote the report, said: “There were approximately 15 National Guard members in the area who did not take any action.”

Thousands of soldiers now roam Washington’s streets. They seldom stop crime.
Statistics show that National Guard troops deployed to D.C. have been mentioned in 1.3% of criminal cases, with dozens of cases listing them as victims.
