📢 Power to the People Includes Free Speech — Part 2: History's Warning Signs

🗽Across the country, we're witnessing an alarming escalation of assaults on the First Amendment. Immigrants are being jailed or deported for their speech. Universities are under siege for allowing protests. Law firms are being punished for representing political opposition. And the press — the lifeblood of a free society — is being silenced by design.

Trump uit scherpe kritiek op Zelensky en geeft Oekraïne de schuld van de oorlog

Oorlog in Oekraïne: De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump zei dinsdagavond op een persconferentie dat Oekraïne "nooit had moeten beginnen" met de oorlog.

NRC

This is such an irresponsible headline by the Financial Times!

First off: It's not supported by anything in the text. Are we all doing click-bait now?

Secondly: What did #Trump ever turn cool? Except for fascism. Everything he touched famously turned to shit. And you're gonna imply to readers that Trump is educated on #Crypto?

Lastly: It's just put as fact that the US could buy 1 million #Bitcoin. That alone would cost $100 billion at current prices...

I'm initiating a new feature called Fascist of the Week.

This week's fascist is Leah Downey, who had the temerity to suggest that Trump seizing the Fed for his own nefarious purposes is a "missed opportunity."

You may not like Trump, but his power grab for the economic levers is right. Liberals, take note!

The US president has recognised something that is rarely acknowledged: monetary policy is political, says academic and author Leah Downey

To be fair, the press is fully aware it was a Nazi salute, they just can’t describe it as such for fear of alerting the MAGAt Gestapo red hats.
