A succinct formulation.
When power is built on disinformation, data become a threat.
Breaking news: Multiple scientists who serve on an independent board established to guide the nation’s nearly $9 billion basic science funding agency were terminated from their positions Friday by President Trump.

A succinct formulation.
Why do media outlets keep using the formulation "Trump makes assertion without substantiation" instead of saying, "Trump lies again?"

i mean, the thing about this formulation is that it literally begs the question. what if one of those “average americans” is an advocate? or an expert? should they then be ignored?
ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

At its crudest, most sociopathic formulation, rule of law exists so society doesn't blow its top off at bullies who are never punished.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

A revealingly creepy formulation by Speaker Johnson.
What does he mean by “they” are going to “descend” on “our” capital?
WE are going to assemble in OUR communities exercising OUR constitutional rights in defense of OUR nation.

Johnson: “They're going to descend on our capital for their much-anticipated so-called ‘No Kings’ rally. We refer to it by its more accurate description: 'The Hate America' rally. I'm not sure how anybody can refute that."

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

The question is whether these people would accept this formulation if the dominant voice belonged to another religion. The answer is no, of course they would not.
Deputy Assistant to the President Jenny Korn to the Faith & Freedom Conference: "Separation of church and state just means that the government can't tell you what religion to be. It does not mean that you do not have a voice in this government."

I like how the "whisper it quietly" formulation has become a code for "I know this isn't true but I need to fill this space".

(worth saying here that this formulation of “western civilization” curiously isolates Europe from the Middle East and Africa, as if you can understand European “civilization” outside the context of its interactions with and integration into those worlds)

It’s a formulation that makes it impossible for anyone to be a Nazi.
Seems like a formulation designed to deliberately enable Nazis, but—as people who make this case would remind us—intention is eternally unknowable, and it’s unseemly to speculate based on nothing but mountains of evidence.

Bizarre that someone who admits Elon holds far-right beliefs, openly courts Nazis and deliberately did the salute still insists that he's not *technically* a Nazi. What does the distinction even mean at this point?
“Bottom line: Elon is not a Nazi but he did give two Nazi salutes… to appeal to the far-right wing of MAGA, to undermine Bannon.”
