Independent journalists are performing a coup d’etat on Big Media.
May be the best thing that’s happened in 200 years.
Brings us back to the day of Ben Franklin printing his own broadsheets.
I’m cherishing it.

So incredibly proud of regular contributor @miralazine.bsky.social. Erin In The Morning was cited in the state AG lawsuit to try to reopen transgender care for those under the age of 19!
This work is essential. Independent journalism is so important now.

Funny how a little bit of complicity doesn’t save your ass … as we’ve been saying because Germany already ran this experiment
University leaders have not been especially vocal about the new administration *because* they were so worried about Trump just gutting the research infrastructure. And now they have done so anyway.

Steps toward autocracy
1. Hiring based on allegiance instead of merit.
2. Deny the past and change it in your favor (i.e. those were nice people- they had no guns) re: Jan62020.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”
