This is precisely why I harp on the negative influence of reactionary centrists so often: Exaggerating the radicalism of the left gives voters permission to support the radicalism of the right. If both candidates are deranged fascist liars, why not support the one that's gonna cut your taxes?

You’re publishing a book about how campus activists pose a threat to democracy while those activists are being disappeared and deported. The rise of the Third Reich doesn’t obviate study of the Weimar Republic but it maybe does obviate asking whether the victims had it coming

Martin Wolf is not messing around here www.ft.com/content/d96d...
The debate over whether to take Trump literally or seriously is over. He has now learnt how to be the tyrant he always wished to be.
That took a while. But, with the help he has received, he is there. His administration is engaged in a comprehensive assault on the American republic and the global order it created. Under attack domestically are the state, the rule of law, the role of the legislature, the role of the courts, the commitment to science and the independence of the universities. All these were the pillars on which US freedom and prosperity rested.
Now, he is destroying the liberal international order. Soon, I presume, Trump will be invading countries, as he proceeds to restore the age of empires.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Easy to criticise us but Google, Amazon were also ‘consumer startups’: Zepto’s Aadit Palicha on Piyush Goyal’s remark todayheadline
Zepto CEO Aadit Palicha has responded to the controversy erupting over Union Minister Piyush Goyal's remark on delivery startups, saying that the reason behind India's slower growth to China, US is because of not building great internet companies. "Why doesn't India have its own large-scale foundational AI model? It's because we still haven't built great internet companies. Consumer internet companies drive this innovation because they have the best data, talent, and capital to put behind it," said Palicha in a post on X.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

AFRICOM commander Gen. Langley tells senators that China is "trying to replicate" USAID programs in Africa as the US scales back USAID.

"They're trying to use that as an extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to gain favor by the African countries," Langley said.
