Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 2mo agoTrump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵
In an extremely related vein, I highly recommend the latest episode of Know Your Enemy, where they interview Jasper Craven, the author of a new book on US military academies. Christ what a horror show. It's no wonder men are so fucked up.

Our World in Data @ourworldindata.org has updated their charts on the state of democracy historically and today. Definitely some worldwide backsliding of late, but it’s arguably within the kinds of fluctuation we’ve seen in the past, on top of general improvement. ourworldindata.org/grapher/peop...

Our World in Data@ourworldindata.org · 2mo agoHow can we measure the state of democracy around the world? Measuring democracy is challenging. It has many dimensions, and researchers assess them in different ways. No single source of data captures the full picture, so we present data from several of them.

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.
