t seems fair to assume that they all know that given fair elections, they will lose, be impeached and send to jail. They, of course, do not want that, so they will escalate and escalate until the opposition gives in. Given the actions of the national Democratic party the last, they will.
Can and will there be a real capable resistance, forceful enough to take on the regime including all the obedient forces and supporting militias? I hope so, but I am not sure.
A national strike of a longer duration then? Given the precarity of most Americans in essential jobs, this has its problems as well. Maybe with full financial solidarity of the (technocratic) higher middle class? But these are pragmatists, are they trustworthy to so so.

#Oracle Ellison is also a major supporter of the Tony Blair institute, which is influencing Starmer's government to adopt AI, digital ID's and other dangerous tech.

His concepts of cultural hegemony and colonialism are quite useful as well. Unfortunately understood and adopted too well by the far right (e. g. Bannon).
What I miss in Naughton's piece is the climate crisis and its impact socially and economically in this power vacuum.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Democrats (already in February):
Early on, Ta-Nehisi Coates observed, “We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.”

Is die antifamotie niet het logische gevolg van de steun aan de genocide in Israel? Zie ook UK met Palestine Action.
En het verketteren van klimaat activisme?
En de partijen op links zijn hier veel te lang veel voorzichtig of zelfs medeplichtig aan geweest. Zoals bijvoorbeeld protesten op universiteiten werden geduid met een bruine saus van antisemitisme verdenkingen.

And, efficiency is (only) measured in economic terms, making everything that does not have a price, or is difficult to price, of insignificant value, something that can be discarded. Like human relations or the environment.

And never mind the extractive essence of neoliberalism and it's refusal for accurate price setting, costing alm 8 billion the world we live in. Because real scholars, yeah

The contempt for democracy of Bill Ackman. Only his judgment counts.

Isn't this the logical outcome when public officials do not design for users, but for 'safety'. It is purposefully repressive design.
No shade, thus light and transparent - > safe
No bench, nobody can loiter or lie down - > safe
It is like these benches that they retrofit with armrests against vagrants.

It seems increasingly that they aim, have been aiming to make Palestinians & woke the new communists. And everybody is guilty by association, and the country, no, the whole world needs to be saved.
The 1930s playbook is being run.

I am not sure whether I understand Starmer or trust him anymore. Probably neither. He seems like a conservative with sufficient empathy and intellect to know how wrong the world is, and to want to help to improve it geneuinely. But he seem so afraid to step outside the boundaries of his class and with so much need to feel important that instead letting someone else really do the job of labour leader he keeps on making a joke of it. Seems the perfect recipe for a future election disaster

Similarly in Holland it is rent control and mandatory contracts without end that create secure rental conditions.
When our neo-iberal party VVD created allowed shortterm contracts (1-2 year), prices went through the roof quickly. As landlords and PE only used these, to up the rent significantly with each new contract. This helped by low interest and asset inflation.
It became so bad that this has been mostly turned back.

Dave Troy has a quite interesting, but very alarming, analysis of the present tech power grab and the role for bitcoin in undermining the dollar as reserve currency:

The congratulations send by European leaders who Trump knows don’t like him is only seen as kowtowing by him and a sign they will give in to his future demands, helped by his blackmailing. It tells him they are afraid of him and will avoid confrontation. Trump’s real power is his instinct for vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
