Stephen Miller has a theory of this moment, a theory of how to do fascist politics in a (teetering) liberal democracy, and Dems need to grapple with it. Do Dems have a theory of this moment that's matched to the challenge of authoritarian politics? I don't think they do:

“Supercharging searing civil tensions over jarring high-profile events drives attention, jolts low-propensity voters out of their information ruts, and compels them to really take sides.” Yep, @gregsargent.bsky.social.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

The Trump regime's war on Christianity continues, as regime troops attacks Americans across the United States and rounds up majority Christian immigrants, they've also targeted religious leaders.

Here the Trump regime ICE forces shot a pastor in the head in the latest attack on civilians.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Swiss RE's US Ceo discusses excess mortality, long COVID and GLP-1 drugs
Mortality has become a topic of great importance in the life insurance industry following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Death rates have not rebounded quite as researchers expected in the years since. In addition to COVID, increased deaths from heart disease, diabetes, chronic liver disease/cirrhosis, along with drug overdoses contributed to excess mortality.

Swiss Re is among the leading industry researchers of mortality, with annual studies into various aspects.

Covid-19: Lack of surveillance leaves UK in dark as hospital admissions rise, experts warn

The UK’s current method of recording covid-19 cases “is not a sensible approach to managing the spread of infection,” virologists have warned.
Latest data showed an uptick in the number of UK covid cases and hospital admissions that experts said was “worrying, so early in autumn.”
The latest surveillance report from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) showed that in the week starting 15 September the overall weekly hospital admission rate for covid was 2.73 per 100 000 people. This was up by 60% from a month prior, when the rate was 1.71 per 100 000 in the week starting 18 August.1 And latest data from the following week show that covid cases rose 22%—from 2012 weekly cases to 2459—in the week to 24 September.2
“A combination of return to work and school after the summer holidays, cooler weather—more indoor mixing in poorly ventilated spaces—and waning immunity are contributing to the increased spread of the virus,” said Lawrence Young, virologist at Warwick University. “The increased trend in cases of infection and hospitalisations, although still low, are worrying so early in the autumn period.”
Amanda Doyle, NHS England’s primary care director, said, “It’s concerning to hear flu and covid-19 cases are already creeping up ahead of winter,” urging people who were eligible to come forward for vaccinations as soon as they could.3

At one point, he says, he was forced to his knees for a photo op with the Israeli flag, as Ben Gvir yelled in his face, calling him a terrorist.
