#USA on the Path to Becoming a #FailedState?
🧐"A govt tt's turned inward & become both self-protective & vindictive. An economy tt's straining under a comb'n of political hubris & international estrangement. A pop'n facing widening #inequality & fraying of social bonds.. State failure is a process tt begins w corrosion of political legitimacy & ends in disintegration of central authority"

By these measures of #publichealth: costs, obesity & gun deaths, US is a #failure.🤦‍♂️

@rejinl Horrible.
Yesterday I read exactly 3 articles in the Guardian showing me that the window for real *mass* protests in the USA seems to close - if they don't happen *very soon*, when/how will people get rid of this system?

The Guardian · We’re minimizing the horror of Trump’s military birthday paradeBy Judith Levine

Wenn ich mir diesen Artikel so durchlese und überlege dass dieser Typ gerade mal 4 Monate im Amt ist ... was werden die nächsten 3 Jahre bringen?
Würde er tatsächlich auf seine eigene Bevölkerung schießen lassen und/oder sogar seine Nachbarn überfallen?
Und was wird das auch für den Rest der Welt bedeuten?

Ich denke immer noch, dass niemensch ihn aufhalten kann und wird, zumindest in den USA. Oder der Artikel ist einfach nur Panikmache!

Manche fragen noch ungläubig, ob Trump eine #Autokratie installieren will.
Man kann es natürlich auch umschreiben, er tut was er will, ignoriert Gerichte, löst Institutionen auf, benimmt sich wie ein kleiner Zuhälter im Kiez usw. usf.
Man kann es umschreiben, wenn man schlecht mit #Realität umgehen kann.

DeutschlandfunkPolitologe Jan-Werner Müller: Trump will USA zu Autokratie machenDonald Trump will in den USA eine Autokratie errichten will, sagt Politologe Jan-Werner Müller. Noch bedeute das aber nicht "game over".

Not hard to understand why America voted Trump: 85% are innumerate, 70% scientifically illiterate, 40% believe in creationism, 62% have no college degree, 80% can only speak one language, 75% are obese or overweight, and most have no competency in history, geography, political philosophy, economics, civics, or foreign affairs.

A Venezuelan immigrant in Michigan was detained in January, ordered deported, then housed in Texas, but no one knows where he has been since March. The U.S. says he has been 'removed from the United States,' but there's no record of him on the lists of people in El Salvador, or anywhere else. nytimes.com/2025/04/22/us/vene

Ricardo Prada Vásquez accidentally turned onto the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit with Canada. He was detained while attempting to re-enter the United States.
