“Single leaders cannot kill a democracy on their own. Single leaders, no matter how popular they may be, need accomplices. And those accomplices almost always come from among mainstream politicians.” @stevelevitsky.bsky.social argues that democratic erosion is an elite choice.

The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Mullin v. Doe, ending TPS protections for more than 350,000 Haitian and Syrian immigrants. In the “land of the free,” the ruling signals a continued shift toward stronger executive control over immigration policy and less judicial oversight of humanitarian protections.
