Rejecting democracy

Fierce Planet Posted on January 11, 2023 by jnfrJanuary 11, 2023

I’ve been watching the attempted insurrection in Brazil, not with much shock, but with some anger. This is, of course, another expression of the right-wing authoritarians who are doing their best to fracture political systems around the world. They stormed Brazil's National Congress and set fire to the carpet. They attacked presidential offices, rifled through papers and tried to barricade themselves inside.

A question for the NYT to ponder

Fierce Planet Posted on June 3, 2022 by jnfrJune 3, 2022

What makes this a “mock” gallows, exactly? Hastily constructed? Sure. “Mock?” Anyone think it couldn’t have worked? pic.twitter.com/YQg7Nr2kVF — David Waldman-1, of Yorktown LLC™ (@KagroX) June 3, 2022 Really looking forward to the public hearings next week.
