Where America stands, one year after the election.

A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet.

New piece:

Escalation, Authoritarian “Normalization,” or a Democratic Turnaround?

One year after the election: What we can say with certainty about the state of the Trumpist assault, where uncertainty lies, and where America might go from here

It’s Election Day with critical races in several states. This is the first general election where voters get to tell Donald Trump what they think of him so far. Don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard! Vote like your country depends on it. Because it does.

Pardon the mess…

A tweet from Acyn (@Acyn) says:
“Reporter: Changpeng Zhao pled guilty in 2023 to violating anti–money laundering laws. Why did you pardon him?
Trump: Okay, are you ready? I don’t know who he is.”
Below is a screenshot from 60 Minutes showing Changpeng Zhao walking outside in a suit, holding papers.

A tweet from Chris Mowrey (@chrismowrey) reads:
“Biden: Here are my pardons and my explanation for my pardons
MAGA: ‘HE DIDN'T DO THAT HIMSELF IT'S AUTO PEN WHO ISSUED THE REAL PARDONS??!!!’
Trump: I literally do not know the person I pardoned or why I pardoned him
MAGA: …..”

ChatGPT cited a paper of mine which I did not know existed, so I asked it for the link to it.
Unfortunately that link to the Nature website just gave a "Page not found".
So sad.

Ok, auch keine generelle Empfehlung. Aber immerhin gibt es, im Gegensatz zur COVID-Impfung, viele Ärzte, welche die Impfung empfehlen. www.bag.admin.ch/de/saisonale...

Saisonale Grippe (Influenza)

Die Grippe (= Influenza) ist im Winter eine häufige Infektionskrankheit. Das Risiko einer Erkrankung und von Komplikationen lässt sich durch eine Grippeimpfung im Herbst reduzieren. Empfohlen wird sie für bestimmte Risikogruppen und deren Kontaktpersonen.

Was echt? Gibt es tatsächlich etwas, wo die Schweiz fortschrittlicher ist als Deutschland? Bei uns wird die Grippeimpfung glaube ich schon allen Kindern empfohlen. Also bei unserer Kinderärztin ist es so.

The higher-ups across American mainstream media are desperate to ingratiate themselves with Trump *and* many of them have also been itching to go full anti-"woke" since at least the summer of 2020.

The overall result is a pervasive rightward shift of the media and information landscape.

Make a list of the most regressive, most impulsively reactionary, most aggressively backward-looking bullshit you can think of and be certain that the people who are controlling the US government are going for it.

They will not rest until everything that smells vaguely "progressive" is erased.

Trump orders Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons 'immediately'

The U.S. voluntarily halted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, though it has the ability to resume tests at a site in Nevada.

Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Marco Foster shares a quote from Lawrence O’Donnell: “Even though the Agriculture Department has enough money to continue to fund food stamps during the government shutdown, Donald Trump is ordering them not to fund food stamps. 40% of the people fed by SNAP are children. Donald Trump and Republican senators are basically saying let them starve. Republicans did this.”
The image below shows O’Donnell speaking on MSNBC, with “Republicans did this” displayed beside him.

These sick cult leaders which think they’re geniuses. Brain-rotten to the core. And too dumb to understand history.

They are all but geniuses. They are actually the opposite. A threat for humanity.
