Russia demonstrates the fastest in the world rate of descent into dictatorship, falling from position 124 to 146 in the Democratic Index.
Russia's war on Ukraine has been accompanied by severe suppression of political rivalry, total censorship of media and widespread repressions. The Russian state can no longer be considered anything other than a dictatorship.

Constitutional sheriffs have roots in a white supremacist, antisemitic right-wing movement from the 1970s that believed as part of its conspiratorial ideology that the county sheriff held the ultimate government authority in the United States.
... even though thereβs no law and no history giving them that position.

For those of you who read my columns: Thank You. (Yes, the title is sarcasm. Too bad Maga won't get that. They are already victims.

Why the world needs Ukrainian victory
15 reasons
Timothy Snyder
Jan 23
"I am a historian of political atrocity, and for me personally number 1 -- defeating an ongoing genocidal project -- would be more than enough reason to want Ukrainian victory....
This is a once-in-lifetime conjuncture, not to be wasted. The Ukrainians have given us a chance to turn this century around, a chance for freedom & security that we could not have achieved by our own efforts..."

@Say_what_now Grand Jury in New York has begun. They will determine if Trump should go to jail. Seems like and open and shut case against him. Cheer up.
@GaryPoole You can find them on people's property just laying around. Search rural areas. I suggest a Fifth Wheel. That is what I own. You can get used, reliable ones cheap. Look for a 2013 Newmar Cypress.
Good Morning World:
What a great day to start taking action and avoid WWIII.

@snarkraider This is a good time to look for a new job. Best of luck
@joyannreid Thank you for replying. I feel we must help that process along. I am encouraging Pat Toomey, Mitt, Liz Cheyney, and Adam Kinzinger to start a new party for the sane Republicans. They can do more to harm Trump's chances than we can. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/1/27/2149464/-Is-this-your-Father-s-Republican-Party-An-open-letter-to-Pat-Toomey-and-Mitt-Romney
@joyannreid It is time to ask the question: My Republican friends are not as dishonest as Ron Johnson, not as Racist as Ron DeSantis, and not as Corrupt as Donald Trump. They're not communists like Marjorie Taylor Green
Isn't it time the rational Republicans started a new political Party?
