  1. An excellent example of how ignorant #authoritarians can destroy organizational culture and competence that took years to develop, and will take even longer to rebuild. And all to no good purpose, other than catering to #bigotry & #brutality. Brought to you by the cowards and sycophants that comprise today's #GOP

    Six-hour polygraphs, forced reassignments: inside homeland security’s campaign of fear

    "North Texas #Antifa cell"

    When one thing prosecution says is fiction, this undermines all other things prosecution says.

    But sadly "Destruction of Government property" is #terrorism under the law in #Australia too.
    The random attack around the world were a blessing for #Statists and #Authoritarians who prepared for public dissent.

    No dissent, no democracy

    As an Australian (also currently suffering a majority federal govt) it’s very disappointing to read this about Canada as we often feel we have much in common. I hope parliamentary scrutiny can be reinstated &/or improved soon. Otherwise it’s lawyers at ten paces, & we all know the law moves at a glacial pace. ☹️

  14. Actually, Democracy Dies in H.R.
    New research sheds light on how mediocre #employees help would-be #authoritarians maintain power.
    Turns out career pressures familiar to employees everywhere — desire to revive stalled career or obtain minor promotion — can be enough to incentivize lower- and midlevel officials to violate professional obligations, fundamental norms and even basic morality. Often just middling workers looking for a way to get ahead.
