Remember when we thought Twitter was the key to democracy? 😂 It's March 2010 and the Paley Center hosts an event in NYC starring Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and your humble RWW editor. We're discussing the future of democracy. https://cybercultural.com/p/046-ai-weiwei-event-march-2010/ #InternetHistory #Web20 #Democracy

A new #Georgia #election rule violates the #law, experts say, because it asserts that county officials have the discretion to delay election certification — even though more than a century of state case law and judicial #history says otherwise.

The #populist idea of #democracy is they alone represent the people.
The populist idea of representation is that all others are being fooled by the elite into not supporting their strongman champion.
The populist idea of elections is that the winner gets everything.
The populist idea of winning is retribution and striking down their enemies from ever challenging them again.
The populist idea of truth is to be able to force everyone to believe their story.
The populist only believe in power.
Democracy literally means rule of the common people. If your country is ruled by corporations and billionaires, then it is most certainly NOT a Democracy!

"We at the Media and Democracy Project have created 18 election coverage guidelines that draw inspiration from the work being done by journalism nonprofits and respected media critics. The guidelines propose three key principles: treating elections like they matter more than sports scores, clearly communicating threats to democracy, and protecting the public from disinformation. "

#Introduction
1. Reality is the only morality. I reject all symbolism and emotion.
2. I know good people from every religion, tribe, race, culture, ethnicity, and social class. To protect each group, ethno-nationalism is required.
3. All of our environmental problems can be cured through Half Earth.
4. Natural Rights > (human | civil rights).
5. Eugenics is necessary to ensure genetic health.
6. People need some positive transcendent goal or they are merely reacting to fears and appetites.
I oppose #DEADS:
* #Democracy
* #Equality (#individualism)
* #Atomization (#dualism, #multiculturalism)
* #Diversity
* #Socialism

Corporations will not stand up to fascism. They are engines to create profit for shareholders so protecting profit is their only guiding principle. They will bend to the felon-in-chief rather than face costly repercussions from a petty tyrant who wields unconstitutional power without any oversight.
Von der Demokratie in den Faschismus. FBI-Akademie, Quantico. Die Farbe stimmt schon einmal. Die Farben verschwinden. Es wird dunkel in den USA. Vielfalt und Werte werden vernichtet.

Judge says #Trump cannot fire head of #independent #watchdog agency
The federal judge’s decision blocks Trump from removing #HamptonDellinger as head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel & sets up a likely #SCOTUS battle over the president’s powers.

More proof this is entirely unnecessary & serves #Trump’s interests alone.
• Distract you from his many other #illegal activities, his ineffectuality geopolitically, & his tanking of the #economy.
• Finally achieving his long coveted goal of creating an #authoritarian #MilitaryState in which no one is allowed to criticize him or even say they don’t like him.

The old methods of dealing with anti-democratic forces have failed. Congress is not going to save us. The courts are not going to save us. Voting is not going to save us.
We need a new playbook to actually fight corruption and greed - the root causes of our current situation.
Here are Five Actions to Save Democracy, that you can start right now.

I’m not a psychologist.
But Trump’s malignant narcissism seems plain.
I’m not a lawyer.
But the collapse of checks and balances and the resultant constitutional crisis seems plain.
I’m not an economist.
But the hollowing out of the public sector for the benefit of corporations and billionaires seems plain.
I am an historian.
And the convergence of these forces has never ended well.
Midnight in America.

#PutinsPuppet is spreading #RussianPropaganda & attacking #Zelensky, #Obama & #Biden in disgusting #racist code & advocating for #Russia’s demands.
“I have nothing to do with Russia, but have much to do with wanting to save, on average, five thousand Russian & Ukrainian soldiers a week, who are dying for no reason whatsoever.
No reason?! Just their #sovereignty, #independence & #democracy

#Musk Seeks to Put $100M Directly Into #Trump *Political Operation*
#ElonMusk has signaled he wants to make donations not just to his own #superPAC, …but to an outside entity.
It is unheard-of for a WH staffer, even one w/*part-time* status, to make such large contributions to support the agenda of the boss. But there has never been someone in the direct employ of an admin like Musk, the world’s richest person, who is leading Trump’s #DOGE.

I always say that there are no moral victories in politics, and the violent stupidity unleashed by the MAGA trifecta has already been a disaster, BUT…
If any good can come from this episode of criminal incompetence, it would take the form of a vigorous public discussion of American values.

I'm saving a ton of money over the last year. Here's my secret:
-Cancelled NYT subscription
-Cancelled WaPo subscription
-Cancelled Amazon Prime
-Cancelled Spotify
Turns out I'm saving money and also giving my more directly to smaller businesses, true journalists, and artists.
Really not that hard, people.
