Dr. Philip Low, Elon Musk’s former business partner: “He is defunding organizations that regulates his companies. So he is weakening the people who would have weakened him.” Clear and present danger. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The President of the United States of America posted this 15 minutes before the announcement of the tariff pause. This would be a straightforwardly criminal message, were the rule of law currently operational in the usual way, for those with insider knowledge of major market shifting policy news

The Trump administration has removed a picture of Harriet Tubman from the National Park Service page on the Underground Railroad, changed the words “enslaved African Americans” to “enslaved workers” and removed a section that discussed Benjamin Franklin being a slave owner.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Potential for crisis in the US right now is huge. Stock market disinvestment, plummeting foreign student/tourist numbers, disease outbreak, cascading government failure, security breakdown. Any number of different ways in which you could see something catastrophic happen, especially in combination.

I'm so tired of Trump's face, his voice, his ridiculous words, his nutty cabinet members, his awful voters, his imploding country. This 24/7 rolling atrocity of a presidency that poisons the entire world.

Slightly worried this is all going to end up with the rest of the world ganging together to nuke the US into the sun out of sheer annoyance at this level of arrogance.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

Is it too much to hope that perhaps the US has some sort of very secret organisation whose job it is to protect its democracy should they ever need to? I assume they work out of a cupboard somewhere far away from the administration.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Vance telling Europe we’ve lost our way on democracy. Irony is dead.

submitted 81 days ago • 0 comments

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.
