So the understandable idea that we need leaders of "both sides" to denounce political violence is, I believe, a nonstarter. MAGA's whole rhetorical mode, for 10 yrs, has been advocacy of violence. It'd have to denounce itself. It won't. So what else we can do to slow the rush toward more? 2/3

OPINION: "The U.S. once led the world in public health and scientific advancement. But under Trump, the country has become a plague." — The Inquirer Editorial Board

RFK Jr.’s pointless dismantling of the nation’s public health system places us all at risk | Editorial

President Trump’s reckless decision to let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lead the Department of Health and Human Services has left the country vulnerable to everyday health challenges and future pandemics.

New, from me:
America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.
This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are.

It is time to admit that America is no longer a functioning democracy

Erik Satie
Composer

In 1917 Satie collaborated with Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso to produce Parade, a mixed media performance that included music, dance, and visual art.

Satie, Cocteau, and company were charged with “cultural anarchy” and put in jail for 8 days.
