"American ‘Psycho,’ Fascist Dork: Inside Stephen Miller’s War of Terror"
"The US is now run by someone whose critics & victims routinely dub an American “psycho,” a man who revels in the pain & suffering of his enemies & his prey."
"Indeed, many of his allies, & his past & present colleagues, would describe him using precisely the same word."
"We are, of course, talking about Stephen Miller, not his boss, Donald Trump."

Interview: New documentary "Musk"
Musk has crafted an image of a 'polymath' solving the world’s most pressing problems...
but he's really a "ruthless businessman willing to do whatever it takes to succeed", including conning the US govt into supporting his companies.
"Musk has amassed unprecedented power in business, technology & politics" via SpaceX, Tesla, X, DOGE, etc. 14m deaths are likely by 2030 from DOGE cuts to USAID.

Portraits of corruption. Notice how the necktie plays into the illusion that these are respectable, upright people, as is generally its purpose. If these creatures, regardless what they ultimately turn out to have been, were treated like target organisms in the development of a vaccine, they would be cooked, or radiated, or something until they were no longer viable, and their parts would become identifiable to antibodies. But you can't just key on the necktie or too many innocents would be targeted too. I key on their arrogance, and their taking of what does not belong to them. But how to get that aspect into the vaccine? #democracy #fascism #oligarchy #vampires

Vittoria Elliott raises a critical question: Can a divided Congress successfully hold the executive branch accountable? As agencies under President Trump increasingly refuse to cooperate with investigations, congressional oversight confronts unprecedented stonewalling that threatens democratic norms and the system of checks and balances. This dynamic creates mounting institutional hurdles for lawmakers seeking transparency. The insight reveals that safeguarding accountability now depends on sustained civic engagement and legislative determination from all sides. Explore these challenges in her reporting. https://www.wired.com/story/democrats-are-gearing-up-to-investigate-the-trump-administration-it-wont-be-so-easy/ #Congress #Oversight #Accountability #Democracy #Politics

It is because the class alliance is stronger than the democratic alliance. Human intention is the main driver, and your government classes intend to maintain their privilege, and that means not rubbing raw power the wrong way. #democracy #fascism

Australia - political cycle
A change of government rarely brings fundamental change in power and political agendas. The main change is that supporters become critics and vice versa. The chants remain the same but with different voices.

Le côté sombre de la démocratie : quand le peuple se construit par l’exclusion
Dans The Dark Side of Democracy, Michael Mann soutient que la démocratie moderne peut favoriser le nettoyage ethnique : lorsque « le peuple » est assimilé à une nation ethniquement homogène, l’exclusion devient une politique de survie nationale. La démocratie n’est pas une essence morale : c’est une technologie politique qui peut émanciper comme elle peut tuer. #democracy #genocide…
Every peaceful election is a celebration of democratic values. The people's voice matters. 💬 #Democracy #CivicEngagement #Hope

Att anordna ett extraval till riksdagen beräknas kosta ungefär lika mycket som ett ordinarie val, det vill säga runt 300 till 400 miljoner kronor.
Även om ett extraval enbart avser riksdagen (och därmed slipper de parallella valen till kommun- och regionfullmäktige som sker vid ordinarie valår), blir kostnaden snabbt hög av flera anledningar:
Logistik och material: Den största delen av kostnaden utgörs av att trycka och distribuera valsedlar, röstkort och annat valmaterial till alla röstberättigade.
Administration och lokaler: Valmyndigheten, Skatteverket samt landets kommuner och länsstyrelser måste bemanna vallokaler, hantera förtidsröstning och säkerställa en korrekt rösträkning.
Arvoden: Ersättningar till alla röstmottagare och funktionärer som arbetar under valdagen och sammanräkningen utgör en betydande utgiftspost.
🦜Nu kan dom rödgröna enkelt tjäna in några hundra miljoner att ge bort till verkligt behövande!?...

## Dismissive of Real World Pain and Progressive Social Policies: Our Parliamentarians.
What is it about #Politics that it attracts the most bigoted, avid and hypocritical people — because that’s what is on show. Even when an idealist, elected for their idealism, joins the fray they are sure to be bullied into the required behavioural mould.
Living the life in *Cloud LaLaLand*, their feet rarely touch the ground. Our Janus-faced polies wind and wound their way around political issues without batting an eyelid while walking the fence between the #Oligarchy and the #Electorate. That is… more aptly, they tread the path on the ##Monied and #Rentier side of the fence and occasionally will throw some crumbs over to those on the other side. Those whom they ought to represent in Parliament, those whom they are *duty-bound* to prioritize in their decision-making.
There are no exceptions here, only a matter of *degree*. The question is: how do we recall those ethically inept politicians back to their sworn democratic duty? We can vote them out, but whom do we replace them with? **More of the same**? The *two party duopoly* needs to be broken up by as many cliques and groups (not to say Party again) that can fit in the *House*, let them bargain and accommodate to form a govt. The democratic process will be the richer for it and Parliament likely have more care for the better good of our society. A more diverse Parliament in terms of representation would merely reflect the diverstiy found in our society. Now to *inform* and *educate* the electorate…
