Paul SchoeAt a certain moment local <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#news</a> has become so subservient that foreign news is better able to capture what is happening.Even when their news is mostly based on <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#US</a> scientists."There’s no doubt that US <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#democracy</a> is in acute danger, at this moment we no longer live in a functioning democratic society. The system hasn’t been fully transformed, but we are watching the making of a <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dictatorship</a> in real time, even if the precise contours are still ill-defined."<a href="https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20250307-what-parallels-do-historians-see-between-the-trump-administration-and-the-nazi-regime" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20250307-what-parallels-do-historians-see-between-the-trump-administration-and-the-nazi-regime</a>

Let's make this difficult ⚫🟣⚪🟡It's worth noting that their plan isn't to stop having <a href="https://beige.party/tags/elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elections</a>. Their plan is to have phony elections where Trump happens to win 80% of the vote every time, as has happened with Putin and Russia for the last 20 years. This is an important distinction because they will be spending the next few years weakening democratic institutions (essentially anything that offers <a href="https://beige.party/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#resistance</a>) and strengthening far-right institutions, all while playing wordgames about being defenders of freedom and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#democracy</a> (deny, redirect, ad hominem), just as Russia does with its own state owned media. Or course, most mainstream media will continue to play the 'just reporting both sides' game, to Trump's advantage.It's essential right now though, despite all its flaws, that we don't abandon <a href="https://beige.party/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#journalism</a>. Autocrats gain and maintain power by silencing critical voices in the media and keeping the public in the dark and checked out. Their most hated democratic tool is a free press, and so it has never been more important to support good journalism and to closely follow press freedom. Yes, the NYT institution is a dumpster fire. But Trump still hates their journalists and would love to see them in jail. The moment he starts jailing journalists is the moment we HAVE to be in the streets, because that is the five alarm fire bell: the point of no return. Once journalists are afraid to speak, he will have zero levers of accountability to restrain him. A free press and a knowledgeable public is the last line of defense. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a>
