Regimes think twice before escalating repression if they know it only ends up growing the opposition.

We analyze a deeply heavy truth: violence almost always benefits authoritarianism. It chills people's willingness to engage in public life and gives the autocrat a pretext to respond with repression. Here's how to remain resilient: https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/violence-is-toxic-to-democracy

🚨 We need to pay attention to what’s happening at the CDC. This isn’t bureaucratic drama — it’s a political takeover of our public health agency. The fallout will hit vaccines, outbreaks, and crisis response.

Our health is on the line. We can’t look away.
