@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

Pro democracy arab intellectuals used to say that there was a difference between the US and Russia or China, because the US at least rhetorically espoused particular ideals. That space between reality and rhetoric could be leveraged, they thought.

There's no such delusion today
The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

South Park called it, and it’s hilarious.

One of the creators purchased the Trump Kennedy Center URL address before the name was even changed because they know Trump’s narcissism is in the driver’s seat.

In the grand tradition of American journalism, both sides must always be expressed. On the one side, there might be the moral courage of CECOT survivors who told us their story. On the other side, there might might be my service to oligarchical fascism in killing their story.

The kids public primary school is 35ºC inside for the final assembly.

Meanwhile the Federal Government has been pouring literally millions and millions into private school up the road so they can build a second music room.

The Vanity Fair photos remind me of the great photo taken by W. Eugene Smith of the Spanish Guardia. He purposefully got them looking into the sun to make them squint, and he lied saying the light was better and it made them look so strong (rather than the evil sense he knew it conveyed)

It’s not a secret that Donald Trump has taken inspiration from several famous authoritarians of both the past and the present.

But I really didn’t think that The Hunger Games’ President Coriolanus Snow would eventually find his way onto that list.
Trump just announced his own Hunger Games
