A major consequence of chronically defunding social sciences is that people have no knowledge of what propaganda is, what it looks like and how it works.

thank you @governor.ny.gov for speaking truth to power. @schumer.senate.gov this is how it's done. @aoc.bsky.social thank you for your efforts too.
Arthur Gies@aegies.bsky.social · last yr.Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.
@bradlander.bsky.social is an American citizen who is asking to see the warrant that details the charges against him which would cite the reason he's being detained. This is clearly illegal and is the most recent authoritarian move by a fascist regime. THIS IS NOT A SHARED AMERICAN VALUE. NOT NORMAL
Brad Lander@bradlander.bsky.social · last yr.Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

There's a virtual event as well at 10am central time if there isn't one close to you. Check this out (linked in the shared post). Detaining David is absolute nonsense and is a straight up fascist play. This man was simply exercising his First Amendment rights.
Leah Greenberg ❌👑@leahgreenberg.bsky.social · last yr.Show up today. Stand in solidarity. Free David. End the raids.
1. This guy is a badass and should be celebrated. Buddy, I'd like to buy you a cocktail (or NA cocktail) of your choice. 2. THIS IS NOT NORMAL and WE THE PEOPLE should not have to be doing this. Keep telling yourself THIS IS NOT NORMAL 3. I'm not physically in Cali but my heart is there with you ✊

I have an arguably ridiculous question @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social but I'll pose it anyway. should we use Elon to our advantage... pounce right now? he architected some heinous bullshit. but should we try to see if he'd be on "our" side now? we want disenfranchised trumpers...

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 2y agoWhy is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

This message needs to be pushed. Thank you @kristinmreid.bsky.social for bringing awareness to this in a frank and honest way. Eugenics is not something we should ever have to endure, specifically as it relates to American policy and procedure. My grandfather for one fought against this BS in WWII.
Kristin Reid@kristinmreid.bsky.social · 2y agoThis eugenics-language focused registry of entire groups with disabilities is terrifying.

Agree so much @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and even though I don't have any Democratic electeds to engage with I will keep beating the drum of THIS IS NOT NORMAL. No matter where we each live, we need to interact with our electeds and hold them accountable. @northp-ttownindiv.bsky.social
Leah Greenberg ❌👑@leahgreenberg.bsky.social · 2y agoany Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office
Thank you for your words, Senator @warnock.senate.gov! The people MUST stand up and #Resist - The authoritarian regime actively wants to scare us from engaging with the system and from voicing our opinions. @indivisible.org @northp-ttownindiv.bsky.social @50501alabama.bsky.social
Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock@warnock.senate.gov · 2y agoI know that times are difficult right now, but we can’t give in to those who are trying to weaponize despair. Your voice matters, so keep speaking up.
It's no longer a question of if or when. We are currently in THE Constitutional crisis of SEVERAL GENERATIONS. We haven't seen this behavior since we had the AUDACITY to split from King George III. It's now right versus wrong. Which side of history do you want to be on? #resist @indivisible.org
Way to go @harvard.edu Thank you for standing up and saying NO to authoritarianism. Continue beating the drum that this is not normal and we must #resist. Academic institutions need to follow your example @indivisible.org @50501alabama.bsky.social @alabamaprogress.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 2y agoHarvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
