"Trump needs to be stopped because he’s hurting people, yes, but also because he’s acting like a dictator, and we don’t have dictators in America."

"Trump talked a lot about tariffs on the campaign trail (in confused and dishonest ways) but before November 2024 it was never presumed that winning one election by a tiny margin with a mere plurality of the popular vote entitled a president to fabricate pretexts for wrecking the global economy or upend the U.S. system of public finance without passing any legislation."

I sure hope this means an End to Musk's Dictator in Turkey, like the Musk Swasticar is being rejected everywhere.
"Several hundred thousand demonstrators gathered again in Istanbul on Saturday."
Several.
Hundred.
Thousand!

I guess it’s a trait of dictators. Do you remember the time Putin manipulated the system so he could stay in power for years?
This is a colossal red flag…
Can Trump serve a third term as US president? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx20lwedn23o
The Nazis were smart enough to keep their camps out of public view. These turds are proud of theirs.

Im almost inclined to think this is intentional. Because if #trump wants to be supreme #dictator (dickbator, sorry I just had to) using junta-like tactics, Congress would have to issue a declaration of war before any EO would be valid suspending the Constitution and invoke martial law. He's trying to do this with the immigrant "invasion". Trying to do this with #panama, #canada and #denmark, #iran...oh fuck...EVERYONE. He's not the first pres to try this. #news

History Professor Answers Dictator Questions
@w7voa I am always on here during my rotten remote job taking donation calls. It has gotten more interesting/tragic lately.
Got a call for #FreeSpeech tv from an elderly woman who recalled to me being a child in #Hungary huddling around the radio with her family listening to #VoiceofAmerica broadcasts so low they could hardly hear it. This was crucial as if their neighbors heard them they could be turned in and disappeared just for wanting to hear the truth. #trump is a #fascist #dictator
German press reports on MASSIVE demonstration against the Dictator in Turkey.
Translation by Mastodon
___
"The Road Fight
around Turkey
The arrested Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu calls for resistance against the government. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated in the streets of Istanbul alone."
___
Also, the Nazi Musk is manipulating twitter in Turkey, just as he did to steal the last election for the Dictator.
One of the greatest journalistic misapprehensions of all time was made by one of the greatest journalists of all time. In December 1931, the legendary American reporter Dorothy Thompson secured an interview with #AdolfHitler, whose National Socialist party had recently surged in the polls, bringing him from the fringe of German politics to the cusp of political power.(
“When I walked into Adolf #Hitler’s room, I was convinced that I was meeting the future #dictator of #Germany,” Thompson recalled afterward. “In something like 50 seconds, I was quite sure he was not. It took just about that time to measure the startling insignificance of this man who has set the world agog.” Within a year, Hitler was chancellor.

#Hungary, #Serbia, #Turkey. I wonder how much the horrifying spectacle unfolding here in the #USA is helping to motivate nations that already had a #dictator to work toward throwing off their chains, helping them to feel that the status quo is intolerable. To us, it's a nightmare; to them, it's a cautionary tale.
I've also ruled out all travel to the USA, including in-person job interviews for remote positions (I'm a software engineer currently looking for work).
I've had Americans ask me "Aren't you overreacting? It's not actually that dangerous.", and then it turns out they haven't even heard about the cases of Canadians and Europeans just randomly siezed, locked up mostly incommunicado, and eventually deported, even when they had valid visas etc.
The MSM in the USA is doing a very thorough job of covering up the growing autocracy.
Dictators don't like the truth and they don't like science
Inspiring and heart-breaking story about Nikolai Vavilov who set up the first ever seed bank
Ultracrepidarian is a word coined by William Hazlitt to mock William Gifford, a critic who expressed opinions on matters beyond his expertise. It derives from the Latin phrase "ultra crepidam sutor iudicaret", meaning "the cobbler should not judge beyond his shoe". #trump #maga #dictator #democracy #america #government #knowledge #education #expertise
I think everyone should watch this, and then take a step back and look at the state of our country.
Call your Congresspeople. Ask them if they think it's ok for the president and his staff to break the law any time they feel like it.
