An attempted coup with no consequences. Not for the leader, not for the people who carried it out. They tried to violently overthrow the lawfully elected government and were given the green light.

That’s not something that happens in functional democracies.

The guy who supports the German Neo-Nazi party is a Nazi. No need to indulge the many, various forms of dishonesty around it.

there’s an academic debate about whether Trump is a fascist, and a big sticking point was that he didn’t espouse any grand imperial ambitions. very kind of him to fully resolve that tension by talking about annexing half the western hemisphere.

TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.

It also had a large chronically ill community.

The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.
