"Yeah, he wants to be president. He wants to corrupt and destroy democracy, bask in the radioactive glow of his sycophants’ blubbery praise over his perfect phone calls to Putin, start the mother of all culture wars, and all that. But mostly: he wants to stay out of prison."
Tomasky is right about this. #GuiltyDonny is running to end the cases against him and Democrats need to make that case.

Which country will be next? UK, USA, France, Germany, Spain, Italy?

"How Viktor Orbán Built His Illiberal State" by Zsuzsanna Szelényi (2022).
"Political language is radicalized, elite polarization is toxic, political tribes are firm, the distribution of state resources is perverse, and democratic institutions are subverted."

"When major media outlets generalize about the state of higher education from sensational incidents in a way that stigmatizes liberal students and faculty, they aren’t covering the news: They are unintentionally collaborating with well-funded conservative operatives, not to expand freedom of expression and thought on campus, but to engulf colleges and universities in partisan politics."

"The problems started on Tuesday, when it was reported that WarnerDiscovery had laid off TCM’s leadership team, many of whom had been at the network for years, including its heads of studio production, programming, and marketing. TCM general manager Pola Chagnon also departed, after more than two decades with the network. One industry insider described the team to Vulture as 'the people who’ve been the architect of the brand for decades.' Moreover, they weren’t being replaced—and TCM was not going to be led by someone with a history in film preservation. Instead, Michael Ouweleen, who currently leads Cartoon Network, would be at the helm."

"New York is enveloped in a dense, ominous haze of smoke, a looming reminder of what may come without a green transition. Meanwhile, Kathy Hochul is trying to push through a Republican and climate-denialist donor to lead the state’s energy and power operations."
[Note: Hochul's nominee will not be confirmed after lack of support, but still worth reading the article]

Melissa Gira Grant @melissagira writes at #TheNewRepublic about how conservatives are now targeting public and school #libraries around the United States. She places it in the context of moral panic, such as Satanic Panic in the 1980s.
To criticize, she doesn't argue its part of an organized conspiracy by conservative oligarchs like #Elmo, #thiel, and #Koch family. Or the #Saudis and #Russia. #library #publiclibrary
Regardless, it's still a good read.

Everyday democracy requires changes to our workplaces, schools, religious organizations, and all other institutions in society, not just the state.
