'Aerial stands strong in the firmament of the very best Kate Bush records. There is a real artist’s confidence in its lambent quality, its mature elegance, that rewards repeated listening two decades on'

Weekend reading: Where America stands, one year after Trump’s election.

A fascistic movement controls the government; they are trying to build an authoritarian state; but they have not consolidated authoritarian rule.

A democracy no more, but not a stable autocratic regime yet.

This week’s piece:
Escalation, Authoritarian “Normalization,” or a Democratic Turnaround?
One year after the election: What we can say with certainty about the state of the Trumpist assault, where uncertainty lies, and where America might go from here

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.
