Great news, Pakistan. Democracy has finally been upgraded. Courts trimmed, power packed, one man extended till 2030. Truly a masterclass in ‘reform’. Read how the 27th Amendment rewrites the rules for the powerful few. #Pakistan #27thAmendment #JudicialIndependence #RuleOfLaw #CivilLiberties #DemocracyUnderThreat #ConstitutionalCrisis #PakistanPolitics #StatePower #MilitaryInfluence #SaveTheConstitution

"His leadership approach is very #American. But it is also very #Roman…"
Actually, Trump's approach is very un-American and not very Roman either, because "What made [Roman] friendships work was trust."
Trump has repeatedly betrayed allies and showed that he cannot be trusted.
His position shifts with who he talked to last, and it is solely for his personal enrichment than for consolidating #StatePower.

“Andor, as a show, is interested in the structure and form of state power, but it is a show savvy enough to know that it can illustrate that power most effectively by focusing squarely in the middle of its execution.”

„The number of executions is on the rise in the United States, with the subject of the death penalty little spoken about during campaigning for the November 5 presidential election.“
@NotImpressed
IMO it’s important, as Americans, to remember that our government will use state power to deceive, suppress dissent, and ruin people’s lives when it suits its agenda. You see this in Sami Al-Arian’s overly aggressive and mostly failed prosecution, and in Mayor Adams’ ignorant and/or duplicitous comments. Too many in media are willing to be complicit messengers of propaganda like this.

Nobody asked to add or delete to withhold a insurrectionist. States have full authority to run elections. #statepower
