I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Religion of course famous for trusting the experts.
Galileo would like a word.
Galileo would like a word.
This text is quoted accurately.
It is also a clarifying lie. Totalitarian governments know that normal people do not have time or resources to research every health, economic, or security issue.
Their project of attacking all expertise is a project of seizing trust & thus power for themselves.

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

We’re doing what Trump accuses other countries of doing, emptying our prisons and sending the convicts overseas
Donald Trump has nominated Charles Kushner to be ambassador to France. A convicted felon, Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged to record the sexual encounter between the two, and had the tape sent to his sister. Just absolute garbage.
