love that one of the basic conventional way of saying “my name is” in Spanish is actually an inherent declaration of the validity of chosen names it’s my name because I said so, motherfucker!!!!

Duolingo screenshot that reads:

“Me llamo Marco.

“Me is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject does the action to themselves.

“Here, llamar means to call, so me llamo means I call myself.”

In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt wrote that democratic backsliding "begins at the ballot box." Strongmen get democratically elected, then turn institutions into "political weapons, wielded forcefully by those who control them against those who do not."
