Democracy Under Siege@democracydoc.bsky.social · last mo.

The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Mullin v. Doe, ending TPS protections for more than 350,000 Haitian and Syrian immigrants. In the “land of the free,” the ruling signals a continued shift toward stronger executive control over immigration policy and less judicial oversight of humanitarian protections.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Paramount calls real people’s experiences of past mergers and a lived understanding of how our business works “fear-mongering”. What it actually is? Reality. Nobody knows better than those of us who have been doing it for our lifetimes and livelihoods. Corporate lawyers lie and spin #blockthemerger

This is Matt Radecki. He did post-production on some of the best documentaries of the last 15 years: Icarus, 20 Feet from Stardom, Navalny. Guess who bought Navalny? CNN. You think CNN is going to buy the next Navalny if Bari Weiss is in charge?

Democracy Under Siege - This is an important and timely film that does an excellent job of detailing how we got here and what is at stake. We all know what that is, but it's instructive to see it so well laid out. The issues are covered succinctly and clearly. I can't recommend it highly enough.

My co-author @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I argue in #ScienceUnderSiege (bookshop.org/p/books/scie...) that there is no path toward progress on climate or public health that doesn't go through a functioning democracy. Please check out #DemocracyUnderSiege:

Excellent piece by @elienyc.bsky.social about the implications of the latest gutting of the Voting Rights Act. You can hear more analysis from Elie on the sordid history of voting rights in the US in my documentary @democracydoc.bsky.social. Free streaming May 1-4 at democracyundersiegedoc.org.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.
