How the start of Trumpβs second term looks like some autocracies
President Trumpβs social media post over the weekend that implied he is above the law triggered alarm bells from experts who were already concerned about the legal and constitutional boundariesβ¦
"Democracy isn't just about getting elected and meeting promises," Kim Lane Scheppele, professor of sociology and international affairs at Princeton University, told @amnanawaz.bsky.social. "You have to fulfill the promises, if you're going to do them, in the proper, legal way."

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.
How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

The highest ranks of the Office of Personnel Management are now reportedly controlled by young Elon Musk lackeys, including a recent high school graduate who worked at Neuralink.
This isnβt just Trumpβs second presidency. Itβs Muskβs first.

Trump says to βclean outβ Gaza, urges Arab countries to take more refugees
President Donald Trump said he wanted Jordan and Egypt to take in more Palestinians from Gaza so they could "maybe live in peace" there.
Trump said he wants to βclean outβ Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries.
There is a name for this β ethnic cleansing β and itβs a war crime.
This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American.
