Malignant narcissists can't stand when you make fun of them because they lack any real sense of humor or introspection. And they're totally fine with trampling on the First Amendment if it makes their critics quiet down and self-censor. From NYT: "President Trump threatened on Thursday to revoke broadcasting licenses over late-night hosts who speak negatively about him, escalating an assault against the media. βTheyβre giving me all this bad press, and theyβre getting a license,β Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, after ABC suspended the late-night Jimmy Kimmel Live show. βI would think maybe their license should be taken away.β Then you have his lapdog FCC chief Brendan Carr doing his best mafia tough guy imitation threatening ABC's broadcast licenses if they didn't cancel Jimmy Kimmel, which of course they did. In some ways that's appropriate, because this entire administration is operated a lot like a mafia organization -- shaking everyone down for money and extorting companies and universities over speech they don't like. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09/18/us/trump-news
AmgineMy finding is not at all the same. I find there is unity among all but two parties that this is an existential moment. (My personal interpretation of the events is the LPC was the last to board that bus, but the important thing is **the did**.)
I am not sure for whom I will be voting. I will study every candidate running in my riding, and their party leadership, and funding.
Fran Fraschilla π€Not quite. We honor the men & women who loved their country so much that that they laid down their lives for it. Freedom is a beautiful thing thanks to them. #civics101 ππ»πΊπΈππ»
Yai TorresWhat is Federalist 10? https://overcast.fm/+2sZzZtQ4Q Great #Podcast introducing the subject and how social media moderation is so crucial to discourse. I never got the chance to study the Federalist Papers at school in Puerto Rico, so this was quite interesting. I already knew moderation was important, but I didnβt realize that its importance goes all the way to the framing of the Constitution.
What is Federalist 10? β Civics 101
Itβs lauded as the most significant of the Federalist Papers, those 85 essays which defended our Constitution and encouraged itβs ratification. So whatβs it all about?
Excellent #Civics101 episode in presidential records law and their impact in modern #USPolitics and democracy: https://overcast.fm/+2sZw3OSOU Impartial and to the point ππ½

Shih Ching FuNice summary of #Australia government structure during the #Civics101 session at #SmP2023.
I knew about the green (House of Representatives) and the red (Senate) carpet in #parliament but missed the blue carpet (Executive). It's important for scientists to also engage the relevant public servants who brief ministers on policy.
