Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”
A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:
STAND OUT
“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Next time you're applying for a job, tell your prospective employer you'd prefer they not do a background check.
Let's see how that goes.

Why wouldn’t EVERYONE want to see the ethics report on Matt Gaetz? If he did nothing wrong, it would exonerate him, no?

To recap: Defense nominee accused of sexual assault; AG nominee investigated for sex trafficking; Intel nominee is a Putin sympathiser; Health nominee is an anti vaccine crackpot who beheaded a whale with a chainsaw and had part of his brain eaten by a worm.

The thing that kills me is you don't need a time machine to understand this. My buddy is in his 80s and grew up on Iowa. He point blank said as a kid sometimes other kids just died. That was his childhood.
I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.
Neither do you.
Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.

Just a quick note to those new here, if you think someone's post is worth other people reading, repost it. Liking it does not have the same effect here as on the dead-bird site. There is no algorithm. That's one of the reasons we like it.
