Dripping venom till the population's bucket is full enough to rule. Dripping love till the population's bucket is full enough to embrace true democracy? What is true, democracy, true democracy? A varied thing?

My advice for news coverage of the U.S. war with Iran: / No oohs and aahs about the military technology. / Don’t believe anything the Trump regime says. / Beware of irrational optimism. / Serve the public and the truth by making war look as ugly as it is.

Even with everything else going on, I am still fixated on this obscenely terrible and dangerous headline from the Washington Post. Do they really believe that Democrats are looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed and arrested or are they sucking up to their billionaire owner?

🇪🇺💰How EU taxpayer money is spent in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary: Welcome to Tengőd, where €20K in EU funds went to the “reconstruction of landscape features” — meaning a few benches + some vaguely planted trees. The local mayor, by the way, was already under investigation in another fraud case.

I oft ponder whether bad things happen because people think they (must) have eternal life, read stay in power. Maximum 16 years in total in the highest or same positions, I then think, the time the baby gets thinking quite properly. Societal positions. Then minimal 16 consecutive years out of them.

"Wenn es keine Verantwortlichkeit gibt in einem System, verliert dieses System das Vertrauen derjenigen, für die es gemacht ist." Der Schaden, den (rechts)konservative Hardliner gesellschaftlich anrichten, ist weit größer als ein paar in den Sand gesetzte Milliarden Euro. taz.de/Konservative...

No fear: This young man has more bravery and everything to lose, but he is showing up to fight. We need people in both chambers to take some cues from him. I am sick of Wall Street Dems and autocratic followers on the reich. Rise ⬆️ !

The goal is to make these systems both unavoidable and unaccountable. They want to turn “ai is inevitable” from hype into actual policy.

As an Iraqi, to this day - 22 years after the US invasion - I still get asked “what would you prefer, what we have now or Saddam still in power?” It is the deep, underlying subconscious dehumanisation& racism that it is fundamentally believed the binary is all we, as middle easterners, deserve.
