Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

We chose hope in ’08 when Obama won the vote;
now in ’26 DJT slings us back with a vile racist trope.
Spinning the clock to a crueler time, proving progress can vanish on a dime.
While Congress does nothing but toss statements like confetti, how long must hate impact b/f they finally choose to act?

BREAKING: Billionaires around the world are reportedly freaking out after France, Poland, the UK, and Lithuania launched major investigations into Epstein's operation because their prosecutors will not censor everything like Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche did…

Release. The. Unredacted. Files. 😎✨

Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.

Howard lied.

By the time Epstein and Lutnick agreed to buy stakes in Adfin, it had been more than four years since Epstein agreed to enter a guilty plea to Florida state charges of procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.

Heard you on Deadline Whitehouse. Much is broken.
Even if eyes are wide open, they have to bother to look. Even if they get to look, they lack a bullhorn.

(America is broken is the title of the Eagle piece the other two are 2019 & 2020 vintage.)

“The time has come, God knows, for us to examine ourselves, but we can only do this if we are willing to free ourselves from the myth of America and try to find out what is really happening here.”

-James Baldwin

People forgot the fear of those few days.
The 6th's mob & aftermath.

Letting the hate & violence fester in silence & darkness.

In everyone's faces again

Thank goodness, real goodness, Trump attacked Minneapolis. Good people fighting 4 all.
Will outcome differ?

I never understood how people of faith could vote for this degenerate scumbag.

Excellent news.

It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...

I wish I had practiced my "shocked face" more.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

At this point, some leaked videos might help.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

If Jeff Bezos had any strength of character he would pay someone to take the newspaper he's destroyed off his hands and contribute money to a trust to restore it.

Sadly, this is aging yoo well.

Rule of law bent too far shatters, & with it go your rights...

It was badly bent already.

Democracy was on the ballot, now you have to gird yourselves to stop them in their tracks.

This is great. It was on BBC Alba the other night. If you didn't see it, here's another chance. I hope you like it. #Donegal

please watch:

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.
