I honestly just wish the economy would massively collapse suddenly, so we can get these shower of shits + this ruinous neoliberal project over with. I can't see anything but disaster causing some kind of change.

Russian economic collapse: Russian Railways has urgently requested 200 billion rubles because it's out of money.
The government is afraid to give them money though because so many other state companies are in equally deep trouble and need money too.

Ryan Lizza isn’t the most reliable, but he’s not stupid. The Nuzzi/RFK Jr mess shows how access journalism warps politics.
Nuzzi favored Trump because RFK Jr wanted a Cabinet post.
She painted Biden as frail and gushed about Trump.
Nuzzi acted as RFK Jr's supportive spouse.
That's bias.

I feel like this goes beyond the weaknesses of access journalism.
She lied. Her lies were printed. And now the whole world is suffering.
It’s corruption, and the downfall of media.

School shootings. Mass layoffs. Threatening trans people. Allowing the mass slaughter of entire peoples. Economic collapse. Environmental collapse. All jobs being made redundant. No safety nets for people, no UBI, trying to take away healthcare. And a system that historically blames it all on kids.

Trump’s authoritarianism won’t collapse because we convince people it’s authoritarian.
It’ll collapse because it makes life harder: higher costs, lost healthcare, and empty kitchen tables.
