My latest post is now out.

I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.

This means we can guess what might come next and prepare - and we must!

Ovenpå dagens nyhed om, at ingen har budt på havvindmølleparkerne i Nordsøen fortjener det korteste interview i Deadline nogensinde med en ellers meget overbevist klimaminister i Dan Jørgensen altså et gensyn.

In 2021 in England, public health decided that the way to get well was to get sicker, and that the way to get rid of disease was to catch it.
It's official policy.
They write it down and everything.

Since then...

Kash Patel apparently runs a "America First" clothing line.

"Tired of seeing your money go overseas?" reads a product page. "Support your fellow Americans by purchasing a Protect Our People t-shirt."

Shirt appears to be made on Next Level blanks ... which are made in Central America and Haiti.

Quite a sign when Stephen Walt, one of the most renowned scholars of international relations in the world (and Harvard professor), writes an article in Foreign Policy arguing that "Noam Chomsky has been proved right"

Problem is the left has been fractured. The COVID pandemic saw a lot of folks cross the aisle to embrace right-wing narratives against mitigation measures and vaccines.

The right was able to break solidarity because the left largely failed to put forward a humane vision for responding to the crisis
Sen. Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth, saying "The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges" and that its leadership "are much too wedded to the billionaires and corporate interests that fund their campaigns."

It’s official: Donald Trump has chosen Dr. Marty Makary to be FDA Commissioner.

Makary opposed COVID lockdowns, argued in favor of infection-acquired immunity, and cast doubt on the COVID vaccines.

Trump has just named Matt Whitaker as his nominee for NATO ambassador.

Let’s leave his biography to GQ:
“…a cartoonish, grifting dope who shilled for a company that hawked time-travel crypto, Bigfoot dolls & toilets designed for men with big dicks…and was shut down & paid a $26M fine to the FTC.”

I like this app, and I plan to stay, but I urge caution when it comes to giving up your territory in the information war.

The project of authoritarian states is to divide the opposition and destroy it from the inside out.
