We label it “woke” and shape an entire right‑wing narrative so that the word alone triggers associations of something bad, corrosive, left‑wing propaganda, and harmful to society. Hence, we construct a system that serves the elite while making the public believe the opposite.

US government map of Africa mislabels every country at global conference. It is common knowledge that many people in the United States have limited international geographic knowledge. But when international organizations themselves make fundamental errors, something is seriously wrong.

How the media is manipulated and tries to misinform the public in the US under president Trump. #scottpelley #cbs #60minutes #trump
Steve Marmel@marmel.bsky.social · 2mo agoScott Pelley is leaving, but not before he drops a big stack of receipts on what happened at 60 minutes. It's worse than you could have imagined, and bless this man for fighting as hard as he could and then tearing down the blackout curtains so we could see what's happening inside.
What a highlight at this year's #rp26. @francescabria.bsky.social mindblowing, data-backed keynote, leaving nothing to be desired in terms of clarity, is a must-watch. She is providing clear analysis and a vision for Europe where to go. Highly valuable also the website: www.authoritarian-stack.info

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

go.bsky.app/Qg6ihTg When will we see a peace treaty with Iran? 47 says all the military in Iran is destroyed. But the military is active. They took out their nuclear weapons, but still have them. Like healthcare plan, it never comes. 47 has no idea what he is doing. Follow and vote.
This shows the difference… you can’t blame it on age, it’s a reflection of your cognitive abilities, & your moral failings… Just a few wks ago King Charles 77 addressed Congress spoke in full sentences, good grasp of recent & remote history, empathy for others &other faiths THINGS TRUMP CANNOT DO!

After Iran’s rapid decisive defeat as announced by Trump within the first seven days of the conflict, nearly three months have now passed, and negotiations toward yet another imminent agreement are once again accelerating at a remarkable pace 🤣 Iran has Trump firmly in its pocket. Completely...

Princess Vimentin PhD | Cancer Biologist@princess-vimentin.bsky.social · 2mo agoA cursory Google search is not the same as the experience gained from rigorous study. The current administration actively undermines expertise to our detriment. My dear mom thinks she knows more about biology than me. But I am quick to correct her. I wish more people understood this. #Pinks
The DOJ didn’t delete Jan. 6 records quietly. They bragged about it. “We are proud,” they said. So @lawfaremedia.org recovered 5,769 pages…95% of what was scrubbed and published them all. They can’t erase what happened. #USDemocracy #Pinks www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...
The Justice Department Erases History; Lawfare Restores It

How teaching the history of science can help equip students to face polarized times. Science educators have been encouraged to leave politics at the classroom door. But as disinformation spreads online and public trust in science seems to erode in some contexts, this advice is no longer realistic.
How teaching the history of science can help equip students to face polarized times
If science teachers embrace history as a lens for teaching complex accounts of science, we open possibilities for more socially relevant classrooms.
