Donald Trump is turning America into a mafia state.

It’s difficult to disagree with this opinion piece in today’s Guardian.

I have the greatest admiration for Steve Rosenberg as a journalist, and a musician. His fearless reporting of events, and popular opinion, in Russia sometimes causes me to fear for his safety.
The consequences of the US stopping intelligence sharing with Ukraine, as one Russian newspaper sees them: “Now we have a higher chance of finding the enemy’s weak spot and striking when they’re not expecting it.” #ReadingRussiahttps

The absolute venality of this pair of autocrats.

Where are the Republicans who once gave Zelensky a standing ovation?

Their silence - while Trump & Putin decide how to plunder Ukraine - is sickening.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth.
Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.
