Elon Musk just killed Donald Trump's honeymoon

Salon

Back in 2016, the whole country was left in shock when celebrity businessman Donald Trump managed to take over the Republican Party and win the presidential election.

Before Donald Trump destroys it, Democrats must "re-envision what democracy needs to be"

Salon

Donald Trump is quickly consolidating and expanding his power. Trump would be stopped because “the American people are fundamentally decent” or “American Exceptionalism” would kick in or “suburban white women and the Dobbs decision!” would spark a backlash or, at the very least, “how could anyone possibly want to return to the Trump years?” Of course, none of this happened. …

Project Esther: A Trumpian blueprint to crush anticolonial resistance

Al Jazeera

The Heritage Foundation strategy named after the biblical Jewish queen offers insights into the persecution those who oppose Zionism and white-supremacy will likely face in Trump’s America. “Project Esther” shamelessly states its aims to eliminate anticolonial perspectives from the US education system, limit the dissemination of related information and restrict advocates’ access to American society, the economy and Congress.

Sir Keir Starmer has been resolute in standing against street violence

The Independent

Something has changed in the past 43 years. Whatever narrative ideologues of left or right try to construct around street violence, “nothing can excuse” it. One of the narratives promoted by apologists for the rioters of Southport, Hartlepool and Sunderland is that Sir Keir is responsible for “two-tier policing”, meaning that the police treat “left-wing” demonstrators more leniently than “right-wing” …
