A long and comprehensive opinion, but this jumped out at me: The judge accused the Federal Protective Service—which was called in to suppress the protests—of lying under oath to slander the regular Portland police.😬

DOJ recently admitted that other FPS claims in this case were objectively false.

In the mayoral debate 3 weeks ago, Cuomo agreeing with said Mayor La Guardia was the best ever, and praised Mayor Dinkins. Fun facts: 1) before La Guardia was elected to 3 terms as mayor he was elected to Congress as a socialist, and 2) Dinkins was a democratic socialist elected mayor as a Democrat.

Max Eastman’s autobiography, Love and Revolution, has a truly harrowing discussion of the massive crackdown on dissent that accompanied the beginning of World War One. Read excerpts here, assembled by Charlie Sykes, and resolve never to let it happen again.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

Outstanding piece with compelling visualizations. Lee is right--partisan calcification is an authoritarian's dream! We need more dimensions to our political conflict.
I jump into the moderation debate. I agree with @adambonica.bsky.social and @gelliottmorris.com on the methodology, but I want to draw attention to a bigger issue. The collapse of candidate effects generally.

In conclusion, the Expression of Concern should have been issued already last year, all problems pointed out on PubPeer should have been taken into account, and, given the serious concerns with the paper, this should have been a retraction.

"NIH staff remain indefinitely furloughed, which means that new grant applications aren’t being processed, grant review panels are postponed, and existing grantholders may not be able to withdraw funds, worsening existing funding uncertainties."
