Who are the individuals who want Donald Trump dead? And why do they want him dead? Do they think his death could lead to a landslide victory for Kamala Harris or another Democratic candidate? These are the pressing questions on the minds of political observers as the former president survives yet another assassination attempt.

How cultural institutions subtly silence and exclude writers, in the guise of concern or responsibility, to censor and “reshape[s] what other writers feel able to say, and what audiences are permitted to hear”.

Empty Words, Emptying Stages — Lantana

By isolating one writer as a potential risk, the institution produces a broader chilling effect in which participation itself becomes precarious. Public debate shrinks not because anyone is ordered to be silent, but because speech itself has been recoded as the risk.

Lux Magazine: “The Feminism We Need”

📌 "People are hungry for a feminism that actually challenges #power, but the most visible feminist #institutions aren’t much help."

“For a long time, feminists on the #left have decried corporate feminism, which boosts the small number of women at the very top of American society and uses them to hide the base immorality of exploitive corporations.

Two legal scholars assert that AI, by its very design, undermines democratic institutions, even when used properly.
They highlight three corrosive "affordances":
• atrophy of expertise,
• moral decisions short-circuited,
• social isolation, which undermines dissent and agency.

How AI Destroys Institutions

Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press—are the backbone of democratic life. They are the mechanisms through which complex societies encourage cooperation and stability, while also adapting to changing circumstances. The real superpower of institutions is their ability to evolve and adapt within a hierarchy of authority and a framework for roles and rules, while maintaining legitimacy for the knowledge produced and the actions taken. Purpose-driven institutions built around transparency, cooperation, and accountability empower individuals to take intellectual risks and challenge the status quo. This happens through the machinations of interpersonal relationships within those institutions, which broaden perspectives and strengthen shared commitment to civic goals. Unfortunately, the affordances of AI systems extinguish these institutional features at every turn. In this essay, we make one simple point: AI systems are built to function in ways that degrade and are likely to destroy our crucial civic institutions. The affordances of AI systems erode expertise, short-circuit decision-making, and isolate people from each other. They are anathema to the kind of evolution, transparency, cooperation, and accountability that give vital institutions their purpose and sustainability. In short, current AI systems are a death sentence for civic institutions, and we should treat them as such.
