Minna coluna no @nexojornal.bsky.social é sobre como a lição de democracia do Brasil não parou no julgamento dos golpistas: a reação popular que enterrou a PEC da Blindagem e freou a anistia mostra que os políticos brasileiros ainda têm que temer os eleitores... www.nexojornal.com.br/colunistas/2...
O Brasil continua dando lições de democracia
Reação negativa da sociedade civil à anistia e à PEC da Blindagem foi fundamental para comunicar aos senadores que seguir os seus pares da Câmara não era a melhor opção

Not being allowed to say that the government is becoming authoritarian would be a pretty good sign that the government is already authoritarian.
donmoyn.bsky.social Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · Sep 14
Easy to see how demonizing those who engage in nasty political rhetoric can quickly extend to suppressing broader dissent toward Trump. On Fox News, Donald Trump Jr. falsely argued that political violence was only coming from the left, before saying:

These two things might seem unrelated, but together they help distill the workings of competitive authoritarianism. When the opposition loses, it gets blamed on their having terrible leaders, but part of why they have terrible leaders is bc any rising leader is hounded by the ruling party.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

I was the AEA's President Elect as the first Trump term began. We worried about government statistics then, and appointed a committee that included members (such as Google's Chief Economist) who might be in a position to help make reliable statistics available if the government went dark.

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal
August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations
