“The US is no longer a democracy. One of the most credible global sources on the health of democratic nations now says this outright. The Varieties of Democracy Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusio … that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey.” 1/

‘Trump is aiming for dictatorship’. That’s the verdict of the world’s most credible democracy watchdog | Martin Gelin

Sweden’s V-Dem Institute warns that the US is no longer a liberal democracy. And autocracy is creeping across Europe too, says writer Martin Gelin

@heidilifeldman

if enough of us wrote/emailed/phoned/screamed outside their office to our congressional
reps to IMPEACH or face voter outrage leading to being voted out, and kept it up,
eventually we could regain our democracy

If you know of actions bringing people together as a force
to be reckoned with, while the world is up in arms against
Trump for so many reasons,
when the economy is getting ever worse ...
then Spread the word

Time for a new #introductions

I am ostensibly human and can prove it cryptographically.

I like Art, all art, and most technologies. I hack mostly Perl, Bash, and Python but have spent the most of my time building websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (ever since Flash/ActionScript died). I've been working with AI since long before LLMs were a thing, mostly for creative endeavors. I survived the flame wars and will no longer tolerate that kind of behavior. I am not a "Real Programmer" and neither is anyone else.

I play guitar, mandolin, some piano & drums, and I'm picking up ukulele a little. I crochet manageably and knit poorly. I can still do a fair number of my old magic tricks, but nobody really wants to see that kinda stuff anymore. I occasionally draw, collage, and paint as well as repair most household objects.

I have art and writing on my website(s), and if you can find them all hopefully you enjoy some of it, because I am not a "Content Creator" and I'm not interested in becoming an "Influencer," I just want to make stuff and experience life and share it with the world at my discretion.

I'm married with 2 kids, but usually I keep them out of my online interactions for their privacy.

Here's some hashtags I follow:
#art #history #retro #music #pocketmusic #gameboy #android #chiptunes #bots #ML #AI #guitar #mandolin #busking #streetphotography #streetart #stickerart #magic #webdesign #webdevelopment #uspolitics #dsa #zen #scifi #php #bash #python #javascript #node #automation #discordia #education

@leeloo AIUI the Jehovah's Witnesses used to believe only 660,000 folks would go to heaven, and as there were 3 million of them this led to no little paranoia and side-eye action. As there are >16 million Jews, I'd say heaven's full, no Christians need apply to the Rapture.

Not quite. It was 144,000.

And Revelation 7 and 14, the chapters on which this is based, if taken literally (always a risky thing to do with the Book of Revelation) says that these 144,000 are Jews, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes, virgins, male, and unblemished.

Females, male non-virgins, anyone who isn't Jewish, anyone over tribal quota, and anyone with wrinkles/spots, won't be amongst the number.

The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

"We won,"
- Trump declares the United States has won the war against Iran.

Trump has no end game plan in Iran. He has no plan at all.

First it was to aid the Iranian people - then he hung them out to dry.

Then it was regime change - now it's not.

Trump will simply declare victory and then run and hide...or pick on a smaller country like Cuba next.

THE MAN IS A MENACE!

Follow-up to that #Georgia-14 non-partisan Congressional primary yesterday. Preliminary review of the initial #electionresults should scare the living BEE-JEEZUS out of the #GOP.

Although #Democrats will likely lose in the 7 April run-off, they over-performed by a 17-point margin from 2024. They over-performed by 30 points in #Hispanic areas of the district. #elections #uspolitics #uspol #elections2026

I really don’t know what needs to happen for corporate democrats to remember they’re supposed to be the opposition party, not the fascism appeasement party. Smh.

@QasimRashid I really hope my two Senators (on this list) get primaried out. If not, I'm going to hate voting for them. But not voting, protest voting or voting for a Republican is out of the question. #usPolitics

The Coinbase-backed "Stand With Crypto" advocacy group has declared Illinois Senate candidate Juliana Stratton to be "strongly against crypto" solely because she made a statement criticizing the $5.5 million the crypto industry had already spent to oppose her
