"Atlas stressed the importance of training young people early in their careers to “embolden them that the truth matters.”. 'I think most of them want the truth,' he said. 'We have to get rid of the fear of speaking out'.”

GLI Expert @HMDatMI: “News outlets ignored the [heinous] crime [committed by an illegal alien] until Trump’s Truth Social entry. That indifference shows how justified Trump was in making the post.” https://t.co/8XesN4tCRJ
“Despite minuscule risk to students for serious illness from COVID, known by March 2020, [almost all] of 4,000+ colleges and universities in the US shut down in-person school, forced masking, rigid testing, quarantine… and most major universities required injection of an experimental drug with known side effects. Those lockdowns directly inflicted massive damage on young people and students.”
GLI Rising Leader @ambermarieduke: “Trump formally created the White House [Fraud] Task Force on March 16… it pulls in the DOJ, HHS, Education, Treasury, DHS, OMB and other agencies to assist in finding fraud, clawing back wasted federal funds, and stopping money from going out to scammers.” https://t.co/FGUyPxTGKi
“Lockdowns were not caused by the virus. It was a human decision to impose lockdowns, mandatory testing, irrational, pseudoscientific masks, campus closures, isolation of students…
We know the data. We knew it then. The lockdowns were instituted. They failed to stop the dying. They failed to stop the spread. And they caused massive harm and death. That's the data.”
GLI Rising Leader @ambermarieduke: “The Department of Ed says a new fraud-screening tool has already flagged around 300,000 suspicious student loan applications and blocked $60 million in fraudulent aid.” https://t.co/dZ3SAmu6U8
“The truth about the death and destruction from the lockdowns remains missing from virtually all of America's political discussions—including in this administration—and on university campuses today. Why has the page been turned with no accountability? We must contemplate that.”
GLI Rising Leader @ambermarieduke: “The [DNC 2024] report bizarrely alleges that the media — including the mainstream, corporate media — is too right-wing for Democrats to be able to properly compete.”

“Why now to consider institutional reform? The tipping point finally came with the pandemic. It exposed—you couldn't deny this—massive institutional failure, the most tragic and most blatant hijacking of freedom and breakdown of leadership of free societies in our lifetimes.”
Milani: “When the West began to make concessions, Iran had a few hundred centrifuges. By the time the Obama admin came in, there were ~12,000 centrifuges. By the time the attacks came in the 12-Day War, Iran had 18,000 very active, very developed centrifuges. Almost all of that is gone.”
GLI Rising Leader @ambermarieduke: “The [Dems] autopsy avoids critical examination of any of the [policy] issues that led to the party’s failure in the 2024 election. Instead, it whines about the White House not properly preparing VP Harris to become the nominee and the amount of time she had to build a campaign.”

“Why is censorship used? To shut someone up, yes, but more importantly, to deceive the public, including students, parents, donors; to stop others from hearing; to convince a naive public there is some sort of consensus to support their actions.
But truth is not a team sport. Truth is not determined by consensus, by the number of people who agree, or by their titles. It is discovered through debate, proven by critical analysis of evidence… not by personal attack.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of prominent scientists challenged the prevailing government approach to lockdowns. The Lockdown Dissidents tells the story of researchers who say they were censored when they questioned the public health consensus. https://t.co/DSWzXKE7Lj
GLI Expert @nfergus: “They [computer science graduates who lost their jobs to AI] will turn, I feel sure, to the kind of politics we already see in New York City. I think @ZohranKMamdani is likely a harbinger of a much larger and, I think, quite alarming neo-socialist movement with Islamist overtones.”
“In the pandemic, university presidents and professors broke the social contract with our most precious resource, our children. [And] they failed as role models on free speech, and now free exchange of ideas is under threat.”
Atlas: "Truth is not a team sport. Truth is not determined by consensus, by the number of people who agree, or by their titles. It is discovered through debate, proven by critical analysis of evidence… not by personal attack.”
“The response to speaking the truth at so-called elite universities, including my own @Stanford, was direct censorship, and it was nuanced. There was character assassination, intimidation, and I proudly stand as the only faculty member who received a formal senate censure from the university.”
GLI Expert @nfergus: “I'm confident that the AI shock to employment over a 10-year timeframe will be bigger than the China shock was to blue-collar employment, and who knows what the political consequences of that will be.”
GLI Expert @nfergus: “Ferguson’s Law… states that any great power that spends more on interest on the national debt than on defense won't be a great power for much longer… the United States just crossed that threshold in 2024… a clearly unsustainable path.”
GLI Expert @nfergus: “Wars take much less time to start than you think they will, and last much longer than you thought they could.”

GLI Expert @nfergus: “The militant left is on the march, with a shockingly high share [one in four] of young, ‘very liberal’ voters saying political violence can sometimes be justified.”
