Then they swapped roles after 1 term & changed the Constitution to allow Putin to serve till 2036.
It didn’t happen overnight…

"The American system is tearing itself apart with no outside pressure--similar to what the Communist Party did at the peak of the Cultural Revolution in 1966." Thanks to @liyuan6.bsky.social for quoting me in her piece on America's ongoing Cultural Revolution.

Und deswegen lädt man Faschisten nicht in Talkshows ein:
Alice Weidel hört „Gedenkstunde für die Opfer des Nationsozialismus“ und verdreht direkt die Augen. 🙄
Und leugnet es dann live.
Was für eine Szene. #miosga

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
