There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:

Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called β€œkids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because β€œthey voted for this.”

Platforms can design better algorithms. Our new guide serves as a resource for understanding how. bit.ly/3QzxVzq
The guide provides detailed explanations of how algorithms work. So much so, that it has been cited in an amicus brief to the Ninth Circuit led by @epic.org!

New research from Costello, Pennycook, and Rand. Can conversations with AI help reduce belief in conspiracy theories? Quite possibly. What’s the mechanism? Evidence production. Let me explain my little-t theory about how this might work.

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

🧡"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

In his email announcing he was leaving NBC, @chucktodd said something VERY important about the biggest issue facing media -- and how to fix it.

I wrote about it this morning. Read: chriscillizza.substack.com/p/chuck-todd...

Buttigieg had been laying low since Trump's inauguration, but his response to Trump's comments and attacks on him specifically after the crash -- "despicable" -- is further than any other Democratic leader has gone since Jan. 20
