"Trump suggested that Republican state officials 'take over' and 'nationalize' elections in 15 states to protect the party from being voted out of office."

If you believe there will be "free and fair midterms", I'd like to sell you a Trump University degree.

Trump suggests Republicans should ‘take over’ elections to protect the party

President claims idea to ‘nationalize’ elections in 15 states before midterms is to prevent rare noncitizen voting

The Guardian

Trump droht Demokraten offen mit der Todesstrafe.

Ein weiteres Beispiel dafür, was für ein niederträchtiger, gefährlicher Mensch er ist.

Wegen eines völlig legitimen Videos – in dem sechs Demokraten das Militär einfach nur daran erinnern, illegale Befehle zu verweigern – fantasierte Trump sofort von „Verrat“ und „Todesstrafe“.
Ein Demokrat schützt die Verfassung.
Trump träumt davon, politische Gegner töten zu lassen.

Das ist nicht „starker Führungsstil“.
Das ist autokratische, zutiefst verkommene Machtbesessenheit.
Wer so redet, ist eine Gefahr für jede freie Gesellschaft.

JD Vance in der Kritik: US-Vizepräsident wünscht sich, dass seine Frau konvertiert

Religion ist Privatsache, doch offenbar nicht für den US-Vizepräsidenten. Der wünscht sich öffentlich, dass seine aus einer hinduistischen Familie stammende Frau Usha seinen christlichen Glauben teile – und erntet dafür Kritik.

and that’s it, i’m out (of twitter)

I’ve made a scene at the party and posted my angry goodbye to Twitter.

—–

Well, this is it.

I’m done. Most of you aren’t. If you’ve decided to stay, you’ve decided you’re okay with drinking in a Nazi bar, and you’ll stay until you can’t.

You’ve also given Elon’s advertisers the green light. They know they can stay, too. Which is what he wanted.

—–

I mean, if the owner tweeting Hitler memes while banning lefties and onboarding nazis who call for genocide and mass rape of women doesn’t do it, nothing will. Least of all trifles like worker barracks.

That’s not “fine.” I’m not going to tell you that’s fine, because it’s not.

—–

If you don’t have some kind of transition plan telling followers, “I’m leaving in N days, go follow me here,” then what you’re doing is telling Elon _this is okay_. Not that you _like_ it, but that… you can live with it.

—–

And, once again, your queer and Jewish and BIPOC friends have to figure out how to live with _that_.

—–

You’re not “fighting back.” Sorry. That’s bullshit.

It was viable before, if barely. I stayed this long to use my tiny voice to shove the algorithm around, just that little bit. With mentions, with tags, with lots of @ usage – something very few people actually did.

—–

But the new owner loves the fash and is weaponising the place, using confidential data, private files, disinformation – and if you think he _won’t_ slam the algorithm around, you’re out of your goddamn mind. Shaping it is not an option when the owner locks in the outcome.

—–

All you do by staying is tell Elon his plan is working.

You’re telling advertisers they still have your eyes. That you won’t leave. That they can safely advertise next to nazis, because they’re also advertising to you. You’ll still be here.

—–

You’re saying that you’ll sit at the table with Nazis. On the other side, sure… but at the table. That it’s… acceptable. That it’s _tolerable_ in civil society.

Push comes to shove, you’ll live with it, as long as the food’s good enough. And clearly, it is.

—–

I’m not surprised. Most of you kept eating those damned chicken sandwiches too. But that doesn’t make it okay.

Your queer and Jewish and BIPOC friends are not okay. We’re really not.

But Elon and his fash friends – _they’re_ okay.

—–

After all, this is what the fascists want. It’s what the Russians want too – them, and their hate-pushing botnets. In the end, it’s even what Elon wants:

To normalise fascism.

And for you to go along.

—–

Complaining, maybe. Howling, even. They like that. They like causing pain and generating traffic and this does both, all while normalising fascism.

And it’s working, because you’re staying here, and helping.

—–

And having made my horrible scene at the party – don’t bother replying. Not here, certainly.

You know where to find me.

I’m out.

—– not posted, couldn’t work it in really —–

(Once upon a time, I’d’ve said fascist twitter was something Elon would accept, rather than what he wants. But now that he’s taking ban orders from Andy Ngo, I think it’s what he wants.)
