How fragile was the US democracy - it only took a few months and the "brown question" for the army to be deployed. Any calls for regime change yet? #latinos #downfall #trump

They are done and don't know it yet. Democracy as the US knew it is gone. Sadly it is never coming back - unless they fight for it.

This happened under Biden's watch. Bukele was applauded by all as he was destroying democracy in one of the poorest countries in the America's - all in the name of law and order. Most didn't care because they were poor brown young man. #elsalvador

IMF announces deal with El Salvador for $1.4b loan. Fund’s reservations over Bitcoin resolved by making accepting Bitcoin voluntary. Tough austerity, budget cuts to come. Vague promises about ES’s lack of budget transparency and on money laundering.

It’s being reported tonight that Reform’s Treasurer Nick Candy is planning to visit America to meet Elon Musk after reports he could donate £100m to the party. The meeting could apparently come within days. We need to make BlueSky the biggest social media platform on the planet

President Biden announced on Sunday that U.S. military forces had conducted airstrikes in Syria to keep the Islamic State from reasserting itself in the aftermath of the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

They are Neo-Daesh and Al-Qaeda. They have threatened the security of the Rûm Orthodox and Syriac Orthodox communities in Hama, and the Armenian community in Aleppo. Soon, they will threaten the Wadi al-Nasara and the village of Ma’aloula.

Brave journalists are so needed around the world.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

understand now about This was for me the first red flag about the "coolest dictator", when one of the first action of his presidential campaign was to hit a female local representative. Macho man then fell for him. #elsalvador

El Salvador welcomes all countries under a dictactorship. The country under a "state of exception" for over a year and all applauding the 'coolest dictator', even the Biden admin. #elsalvador #Korea #dictators

Do not become numb to this genocide. Israeli airstrikes have killed nearly 100 Palestinian civilians in the past 24 hours. This, immediately after Biden sent another $650M in arms to Netanyahu, and after Netanyahu was charged with war crimes by the ICC. Horrific. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

One of the things I kept explaining during Trump 1.0 is that destroying democracy takes time. Erdogan was initially seen as a reformer who would shake up the system. It took him a while, but he strangled Turkish democracy. The norm violations of Trump 1.0 have made authoritarian Trump 2.0 way easier

In Australia ... long live independents 😿

🚨The lack of scrutiny &pressure the media has put on the Govt & Coalition raiding public $ for their party expenses is telling for how rigged our system is. Legacy media want the duopoly as badly as they the parties. After rushed debate in the House, the Senate is voting this week.🦗 #media #auspol

For people that are still living in his house, when they are better hotels ... don't grasp how dangerous he is. Remember Rwanda?

Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

And when we finally have a not so bad government, the US makes sure it is not for long "golpe de estado" ... Banana republics are not born, are made by the US and its chiquitas. 👇
