You are most welcome, Benja -- we are delighted to have you in our department!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS on this fantastic achievement, Benja!!!

That's right @jenmercieca.bsky.social -- Carl Schmitt was NOT a theorist of democracy. The authoritarian / autocratic ambitions of Steven Miller and of the Trump 2.0 administration is open and clear for all of us to see.

Here's another article on this topic, in case it may be helpful www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I mean to write in some respects YES, I think it is. I should have corrected this before posting.

In some respects, yet, I think it is. Is this article at all useful @leedrutman.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/Politics/oli... ?

Yes, I agree @karlobasta.bsky.social -- but to be fair, a lot of concern is now being voiced about Trump's tariffs and about his erratic policymaking. If (business)people weren't afraid of the bully in the White House and his enablers, they would be even more vocal.

That's right @pmpearson.bsky.social- it was a mistake to cancel the US Chamber's Equality of Opportunity Initiative. If we can't even agree to support something as basic as equality of opportunity for all, we are not in a good place as a society. But the real fault lies with Trump and his enablers.

You're right -- it's a very grim and destructive agenda.

I couldn't agree more: the claim that hordes of drugs and migrants are coming from Canada to the US is utterly ludicrous and absurd, without any basis in reality.

anti-pluralism as official governmental policy.

It was a pleasure! I'm certain that many readers will find your article useful.
