Steven Levitsky: "Nous assistons actuellement Š l'effondrement de notre démocratie. Sous Donald Trump, les États-Unis glissent vers une forme d'autoritarisme. Cela ne sera sans doute pas irréversible. Mais le fait est lŠ : en ce moment même, les États-Unis cessent d'être une démocratie."

True story time, from about 8 years ago.
After work, I joined few co-workers for happy hour. I had 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks, then cut myself off and drank soda rest of the night, for many reasons including I wanted to be 100% sober to drive home.
One guy was rude, insisted I keep drinking, said I was ruining the fun.
Kids, be your own person. Be stubborn. Don't let someone pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. No means no.

Overwhelmed by winter? A traffic camera shows this rest stop on I-70 not only has no snow, but it's spring and the leaves are out 😆

A Portland Police Bureau report released late last month shows that the agency's review board recommended that a sergeant be fired after lying to investigators about placing a right-wing meme in a training presentation — a recommendation that Chief Bob Day and then-Mayor Ted Wheeler declined to follow.

Known as the "Prayer of the Alt Knight," the meme has been traced back to a member of the far-right Proud Boys group and endorses police brutality against a "dirty hippy," showing an officer in riot gear with fist raised over a person with long hair.

McDaniel denied the allegation that he'd put the slide in the presentation. Then-Chief Chuck Lovell ultimately concluded that it was "more likely than not" that McDaniel was responsible for the slide, according to the memo, though Lovell backed away from termination of the sergeant's employment and instead suspended him for 100 hours without pay.

Warum ich aktuell eher dazu tendiere die Grüüünen zu wählen.
1. Die CDU wird die stärkste Kraft werden, solange Merz nicht an der falschen Stelle lacht. Dann habe ich als Koalitionspartner lieber eine starke Grüne als eine starke SPD.
2. Noch lieber hätte ich eine starke Linke.
Aber die Kackfaschisten sind gerade bei 20%, Leute. Wir können nicht 10 x% linke Stimmen an der 5%-Hürde scheitern lassen.
