‘Nothing like this in American history’: the crisis of Trump’s assault on the rule of law

Are there any folks out there who want to help organize a Mobile track with me at #FOSSY this year? 😁
@mastodonmigration yes I think this will be a problem for the US in the future. They have until now been seen as a reliable partner; if you bought something from the US you could rely on that not suddently disappearing. A reputation that has been built over many decades, even centuries, is now quickly being destroyed.
The damage is done, even if Trump goes away the rest of the world now knows that the US can at any moment elect another unhinged maniac president. The US can no longer be trusted.
So the US is now backing a dictatorship (Russia) that invaded a democratic country (Ukraine).
I want to say to US citizens: this is on you. Your country is supposedly a democracy, but your current president is an authoritarian who is apparently either insane or is willingly acting on a foreign dictator's behalf. You need to fix that, right now. Use the system you have. Talk to your representatives and demand action. Why is Trump not being impeached right now?

Please, US citizens, stop your lunatic president. Your system has something called impeachment, right?

I’ve been contacted by someone close to the #Mozilla story. They’ll gather some more info and we’ll record an interview to shed light on how this came to be, and what’s being done to try and improve things at Mozilla from the inside.
Stay tuned!
@bkuhn Hi Bradley! If this is officially you, perhaps you could link (with the rel=me thing) to this account from your website to make it easier to tell that it's really you?
Great coverage on the @osi 2025 election process and what is at stake from Thomas Claburn at *The Register*: https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/28/osi_election_ai_drama/
I don't agree with everything in the article, but, speaking as a political candidate (at least until 2025-03-07 I am, anyway 😀), I am aware that politicians sometimes call the press “the Enemy of the People”. I love a Free Press almost as much as I love Free Software. If you agree with *everything* in a press article, it's probably not good journalism.
> varför? Bara varför! Bra för vem? Typ.
Jag tror att för att förstå det behöver man först ha klart för sig att för regeringen+SD är det ett väldigt viktigt mål att göra Sverige till ett dåligt land att invandra till. Det viktigaste av allt är att detta signaleras tydligt: om du väljer att komma till Sverige kommer du att behandlas som skit. För att avskräcka framtida invandrare alltså, så att de inte kommer hit.
Om man har rasism som grund för sin politik är det här helt logiskt.
