  5. ‘As the United States should have learned several times over (but it won’t learn this), decapitation of regimes is not the same as breaking the connection between the regime and the state.’

  6. I think of all the streets in America combined as forming a huge cesspool, a cesspool of the spirit in which everything is sucked down and drained away to everlasting shit.

  7. 📉 Polls show confidence in the U.S. is collapsing.
    People feel it — the decay, the exhaustion, the weight of it all.

    “With every increase in the degree of consciousness,
    and in proportion to that increase,
    the intensity of despair increases:
    the more consciousness, the more intense the despair.”
    — Søren Kierkegaard

    We're not broken because we see the truth.
    We're despairing because we finally can.

    Eventually, and sadly all too soon, there will be only one business: climate response. And the US, once a beacon of hope to the world, is saying "nah, let's sit this out". It's deadly not just for business but for human survival. It is impossible to overstate the magnitude of this error.

  9. Walked through an Eames Chairs exhibit and felt like I was attending a funeral, a cultural wake. These chairs once projected post-WWII power through cold elegance. Now they're M&M candies strewn about a gallery, artifacts of empire in twilight. Form followed function, but what was that function when the office itself has died?

  10. What’s the best hashtag to follow to bear witness to the dismantling of the US federal government?

  11. I’ve always self-censored online to avoid risks when traveling to semi-authoritarian states (e.g., lèse majesté laws).

    Now, I hesitate before criticizing the new U.S. administration, and I hate it. These are terrifying times – and I’m a cis white man who doesn’t even live there!

  12. Fukuyama is right. America is in decline. Many Americans do not like America's genocide on Palestine. Trump is putting an insane amount of traiffs on Canada, Mexico, and China.

    It seems like China is becoming the next superpower.

    The US is becoming like the UK where the British empire declined. The anglosphere countries are a fucking joke.

  13. “What’s at stake is more than the fate of a man finally devoured by the tiger he thought he could outrun,” the editorial read. “It’s about the institutional functioning of the world’s leading power. …The field of ruins that the House of Representatives has become can only worry #America’s allies & delight its adversaries.”

  14. …as noted by an editorial in leading French newspaper Le Monde, the #House’s disarray reflects the bigger issue of a #legislature where #gerrymandering & low voter participation in primaries has yielded a cadre of lawmakers who view #compromise as “anathema,” especially among the #GOP.

  15. With the chamber in paralysis, a new battle over #funding the govt looms next month, while boosters of #Ukraine’s war effort fear #DC lawmakers may be unable to authorize crucial new installments of #military #aid.
    
But the concerns harbored by onlookers abroad go far deeper.
