The #TrumpRegime is not going to let go of building this perverse American Führerbunker.

Whether Trump, the man, is alive or dead, I don't see the Oligarchs, their political and corporate proxies, or MAGA cult he inspired peacefully surrendering power, suggesting to me, a darker motive for building the Führerbunker.

Like Charlie Kirk, a martyred Trump would be an even more useful idiot for the powers arrayed around him now against the American people and our estranged former allies.

Some seriously kerazy — & for once literal — #irony

250 years ago the #UnitedStates declared its #independence from a monarchy.

Today, that very #monarchy, is warning the #US of making a #king of its #illiberal #ExecutiveBranch.

“Security Has a Beef With Photography”

The Latina in the safety vest had a beef with me. The company had surveilled me on camera. “What are you doing here,” she asked, right in front of the Visitor Center. I replied that I was taking a pictures. She said, “No photos allowed. Delete them.”

I did not delete any photographs, instead I published one.

Bruken av begrepet #illiberal er problematisk. Ser at liberaleren Anne Applebaum og Civitas-folket liker denne termen. Ved å skape en barriere mellom liberalere og dem som er kritiske eller motstandere av liberalistisk politikk er det lettere å delegitimere stemmer som motsetter seg nyliberalismen. Foreslår at man i stedet kaller tingene det de er, altså hvis noen er motstander av liberale demokratiske institutsjoner så sier man det.
