Bluesky post – Polls show the public doesn’t support Trump’s cuts to university research funding

2 bits of data from new Economist/YouGov poll…..13% support for cutting research funding to universities. 24% among Republicans. Polling on this continues to be catastrophic for the Rs, suggests Dems should be learning far harder into standing up for science and our universities. 1/

Posts on Trump’s unwarranted attacks on voting by mail

He lies all the time about voting by mail. There is no fraud. He is just setting a basis for interfering in upcoming elections. This will wind up in the courts like the rest of his illegal actions.

There it is: Trump, "We are going to END mail in voting."

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will issue an unconstitutional and illegal executive order purporting to ban mail-in voting and certain voting equipment for the 2026 midterm election.Such an effort would violate the Constitution and is a major step to prevent free and fair elections.

Mail-in voting is secure and essential for military families, seniors, caretakers, and rural Americans. This push to limit access to the ballot box is just Trump's latest attempt to undermine our democracy. http://www.axios.com/2025/08/18/t…

Hill: Trump asserted in his Fox interview there were no countries in the world that allow mail-in voting. Well, Russia allows mail-in voting.

worth saying that if republicans are increasingly reliant on low propensity voters then “we must make it as difficult as possible to vote” is not going to work well for them

Trump lies about mail-in voting, claiming no one else does it. CNN: "Dozens of other countries use mail-in voting …."www.cnn.com/2025/08/18/p…

Mail-in voting is vital to ensuring people can exercise their right to vote, especially those with disabilities and transportation challenges.President Trump's attempts to discredit mail-in voting and voting machines are designed to undermine elections where he doesn't like the results.

You know what this means. An all out attack on mail in voting. When Putin speaks, Trump acts.

Jack Hopkins-The Original (@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social) 2025-08-16T15:10:49.485Z

Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

I am a big believer in physical media.

Bluesky posts on the decline of local newspapers

🧵 Imagine living in a county without reporters—no one covering school board meetings, local clinics, even zoning decisions. That’s reality for over 1,000 U.S. counties. Ohio now has just 7.9 local journalists per 100k residents down from ~40 in 2002. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/14/w…

So depressing. Dozens of rural newspapers shut down in latest disappearance of local journalism

Charles Ornstein (@charlesornstein.bsky.social) 2025-08-17T22:51:50.606Z

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
