@petergleick Isn't #Trump the one who always says the government shouldn't get involved in anything? Oh, I forgot! That's only true if it fits his ideological goals. He will expand the state. He's increasing the state when it comes to censorship, control of the people and exploitation of the people. And he stands for depriving people of their political rights, including the right to vote.

"Three decades ago in America, we were richer, safer, more powerful, better defended, better fed, more entertained than any civilization had ever been in the history of the world. And we were willing to burn it all down so we could be mean to people again."

@tagesschau Wenigstens "#Trump greift die PresseFREIHEIT an" hätte der Tagesschau einfallen können.

Wie begründet Trump übrigens, dass bestimmte Wörter nicht mehr vorkommen dürfen?
"Man wolle dazu beitragen, eine neutralere und unvoreingenommene Kommunikation auf amtlicher Ebene zu gewährleisten."
Ist das auch Eure Begründung, Tagesschau? Denkt drüber nach und verbessert das.

Yet another atrocity, courtesy of #Trump & his biggest donor. #ProLifeMyAss

"A unit that helps rescue Ukrainian children kidnapped by #Russia during its full-scale invasion has been defunded as part of the U.S. government spending reduction program led by #Musk, according to an online newspaper report." #Ukraine

This is an extremely good article of all the ways Trump is bringing authoritarianism to the United States of America. With multiple experts drawing multiple parallels to past fascist regimes and also, how it is different this time, particularly with information warfare.

Wake up America.
For the love of god.
WAKE UP AND FIGHT

HE IS TRANSFORMING YOU INTO EVERYTHING YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER BE.

FRANCE 24 · What parallels do historians see between the Trump administration and the Nazi regime?By Stéphanie TROUILLARD

#Trump signed an executive order on Fri seeking to dismantle 7 additional fed agencies, incl the one that oversees Voice of America and other govt-funded media outlets around the world.

Trump directed the heads of the agencies, largely obscure entities that address issues like labor mediation and homelessness prevention, to eliminate all functions that are not statutorily mandated”

Things are going bad in the US for Trump, the economy is tanking, people start noticing the effects of his destructive measures. His only way forward is more repression, destroying government, censorship, control and creating fear. Or maybe create some major "diversion", grabbing Panama, invading Greenland or Canada (yes it sounds extreme but it's not totally impossible). I see no happy ending for the USA, anyone does ?

Give a bully what he demands & he'll demand more.

Report: "White House tells Columbia to sack academic staff over Israel criticism"

Trump is threatening to pull government funding from Columbia & demanding it sack the leadership of the Middle Eastern, South Asian & African Studies Department & place it under “academic receivership for a minimum of five years”.
