#ICE setzt jetzt in den USA Gesichtserkennung und Rundumüberwachung gegen Einwanderer, Demonstranten und Journalisten ein. Worauf das zuläuft, habe ich bei @riffreporter in diesem Szenario beschrieben, das Monat für Monat mehr vom Sciencefiction zur Zeitdiagnose mutiert: https://www.riffreporter.de/de/umwelt/googlonia-ein-szenario-buchauszug2 #datenkapitalismus #surveillance #Trump #Europa

Just so everybody knows: it is not ok to call #trump a muppet.

The muppets are well respected and deserve better.

Und wenn Ihr wissen wollt, warum ich mir so riesige Sorgen über die Rechtsmimesis, den fossilen Faschismus, Rassismus und Antisemitismus mache, dann lest bitte diese drastische Warnung des großen Historikers #TimothySnyder zur Vance-Nazi-Kampagne gegen Springfield, Ohio.

Lest das, bitte, vor dem 4. Februar… 🙏😢🇺🇸🔥

The community resistance to #ICE in #Minnesota can, and should, be replicated all over the country.

Please. Even if ICE or other #trump loyalists aren't active in your community, there's a lot you can do to help others. Or you could donate, or volunteer services. Or show others what *they* might not know they can do.

"The layoffs are solely the responsibility of inept, incompetent, and inattentive ownership and management. It inherited a great American paper and left it in the rubble, putting hundreds of talented journalists out on the street."

"Let’s be clear about what this really is. This is not restructuring. This is not belt-tightening. This is not a difficult but necessary business decision.

This is capitulation to authoritarianism.

While journalists were being purged from The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos chose to spend approximately $75 million funding a movie about Melania Trump."

"A man like Jeff Bezos does not do anything because he has to. It has been decades since he was constrained by anything other than his own desires. What happened to the Washington Post over the last three years happened for one reason and one reason only: Because Jeff Bezos wanted it to be so.

Because he gets off on civic vandalism."

"Most of the obituaries will blame environmental changes of technology and news consumption. These changes are real, but they are not why the Post is now in hospice.

No, this is a story about incompetent leadership that destroyed the paper’s economic viability. It’s a story of self-mutilation."

"It’s hard to be in Washington DC at this moment and react to anything except the devastating news that Jeff Bezos, with more than $250 billion at his personal disposal, and Will Lewis, the discredited Murdoch/Fleet Street refugee Bezos brought in to run (and ruin) the Washington Post, have today announced what is effectively the Post’s demise.:

White Catholics: 52% net approval, 47% net disapproval

Hispanic Catholics: 23% net approval, 76% net disapproval

Besides white Catholics, the only other religious demographic with a positive approval rating for Trump are white evangelical Protestants, with a 69% net approval rating and a 29% net disapproval rating.

There's a huge gap between white Catholics and non-white ones when it comes to how Trump is rated.

"The Christian nationalist dream is like a kind of, I mean it's in fact a nightmare, but for them I think it is this kind of fever dream of a world where God has told them they're the special people."

Note the following interesting breakdowns in Pew Research Center's latest findings about Trump's approval rating, as broken down by religious groupings:

Pew finds that net approval of Trump among US Catholics is 39% and net disapproval 60%.

But break those figures down among white Catholics and Hispanic ones, and an interesting picture emerges:

"And now, guess what? They’re not. …

The Trump administration is failing because it is making many millions of normal Americans feel totally freaked out. 'I regret voting for Donald Trump.'”

Douthat wants, of course, to cling to the fantasy that the "conservative" agenda he promotes is grand and Trump failed at implementing it. But bad trees produce bad fruit: Trump's the fruit of Douthat's tree.
