This brings me great joy.

Instead of a Bible, Dr. Lystrup's hand rests on a hardback copy of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.

Yes, agreed. If find it disingenuous that so few on the main-street "Left" can get ahead of the obvious game the American Right is playing.
This isn't complicated. Even the Ivy-League braintrust (Cruz, Cotton, Hawley, DeSantis et al.) aren't strategizing in an original way.
Same playbook. Same value "drift." Same leveraging moral panic into policy. Same nativist nitwits looking to suck some milk outta the power cow. Always the same.

Is Britain really becoming like 1930s Germany?
“Day by day I’m becoming convinced that the government is using a similar manual.The language used, the control of the media, the evasion of scrutiny & disdain for human rights, just like Germany in the 1930s”

I literally cant tell if you are being sarcastic about the collusion of corruption on the court, or are really blandly saying, like a Republican, that no law binds Republicans. Laws bind other.
Gentle reminder, DeSantis send police to kidnap the 13 yr old child of a political oppenent. The 13 yr remains in jail for tweeting a rude complaint about the Uvalde school shooting police failures.

Implementation science is one of the core things I do, but surprisingly few people know this important set of skills, interdisciplinary fields, and communities exist, working to translate evidence into action. At Google as a metrics and evaluation scientist, at Khan Academy as an efficacy scientist, and of course as the founder of an evidence science consultancy, all my applied research work has included implementation science.
It’s becoming a lot more difficult to share my work. The bird site has been by far my biggest platform for reaching an audience - but the reactionary troll who recently bought it is now actively sabotaging Substack, where I do most of my writing.

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
