Wörster. Allerwörsteter. #noTrump. Ein Präsident, der aus „United“ die „Divided States of America“ gemacht hat. Nicht nur historisch, sondern auch moralisch … ein Fall für den Abgrund der Demokratiegeschichte. Kein Klansman der Ehre. Sondern der Schande. #DemocracyDiesInDarkness 🖖

Das Bild zeigt ein satirisch verfremdetes Cover des TIME-Magazins. Anstelle des traditionellen „Person of the Year“ steht in großen Lettern „Klansman of the Year“. Abgebildet ist Donald Trump in der ikonischen weißen Kluft des Ku-Klux-Klans – eine provokante Bildmontage, die ihn als Symbol rassistischer Spaltung darstellt. Rechts steht: „Donald Trump – Wizard in Chief of the Divided States of America“. Unten überdeckt ein Balken mit dem Text: „Trump Worst President In American History“ das Bild – eine klare, drastische Anklage. Die satirische Bildsprache zielt auf seine Rolle bei der Polarisierung Amerikas, sein Verhältnis zur Wahrheit, zu Rassismus und zur Demokratie.

đź“· Image Description (English):
The image shows a digitally altered and satirical version of the TIME magazine cover. Instead of the usual “Person of the Year,” the headline reads “Klansman of the Year.” Donald Trump is depicted wearing the white robes and pointed hood of the Ku Klux Klan — a provocative photomontage symbolizing racial division and extremism. To the right, it reads: “Donald Trump – Wizard in Chief of the Divided States of America.” Across the bottom is a bold label: “Trump Worst President In American History.” The visual rhetoric is sharp and accusatory, aiming to highlight Trump’s role in polarizing the nation and allegedly undermining democratic values.

And so we see how history is forgotten... 36 years since the events known in the West as "Tian'anmen" took place. A little over one generation, and there is barely any mention of it.

The mayor of Newark gets arrested for oversight at an ICE facility while Trump cronies torch the Constitution daily. Fascism doesn’t arrive with jackboots—it shows up in a blazer, clutching a Bible, and criminalizing accountability. #DemocracyDiesInDarkness #RasBaraka #ICE #Authoritarianism

Washington Post: Jeff Bezos ma...

“I will always be thankful for the opportunity I was given to work alongside a team of opinion #journalists whose commitment to strong, innovative, reported commentary inspired me every day,” #DavidShipley wrote.

#WashingtonPost’s opinion editor, #DavidShipley, is exiting as #JeffBezos said the section’s focus would narrow to defend “personal liberties & free markets.”

“I am of America & for America, & proud to be so,” #Bezos said, in an email to employees. “Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm & everywhere else.

The #Press must take steps to not become complicit in disseminating #Trump's constant #disinformation / #misinformation. He'll just double-down if you let him. The Press needs to correct him, in real time, right after he spews out his BS, and then proceed to a follow-up question. He needs to be challenged live, on the air, so his minions can watch it all play out on TV

Hoping to curb war, inflation & polarization when you're in a nobbled democratic system is like hoping to reach Kansas when you're in a hamster wheel.

A fascist presidential speech, a Hitler salute from a mega-rich socially deficient egomaniac.

Cartoon depicting the bottom half of a giant fat man with small hands and a red tie that stretches all the way to the floor. Hugging his legs is Elon Musk. Kneeling and licking his tie are four other men, the tech bros, and Mickey mouse.
