    @randahl The repeat of the "Gleichschaltung" of '33/'34. We know how that came out...

        Somewhere there is a person mightily pleased with themselves that they created this absurdistic collage and that dear leader chose their creation for the boom box of "the greatest" leader propaganda.

        And this is the real problem. On his own Trump would have difficulty getting dressed even, but with all these little Santa helpers he can terrorize a nation and the world for his personal pleasures.

          > Brendan Carr, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, threatened on Saturday to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over their coverage of the war with Iran, his latest move in a campaign to stomp out what he sees as liberal bias in broadcasts.

          > As the war entered its third week, Mr. Carr accused broadcasters of “running hoaxes and news distortions” in a social media post and warned them to “correct course before their license renewals come up.”

            @i47i @connynasch @martinlentink @randahl He only regulates over-the-air broadcasts, but I fear Trump wants an FTC - Federal Truth Commission - eventually to regulate everything else too.

                  @randahl I guess it’s not a surprise authoritarians would be trotting out loud & proud how they’re suppressing speech they don’t like.

                  I mean we had a whole post-WW2 generation of writers warning us how the same fascist process could happen in the West, and that the seeds were already planted.

                  But the cognitive dissonance shill hits hard. These were supposed to be ”free speech absolutists” 😅

                                  The face of fascism. Trump is a dictator. A confession basically and clear evidence that he should be impeached and removed.

                                    @randahl I see most media outlets _still_ are incapable of reporting in a way that is not aiding autocrats and violent old white men.

                                    And for the Germans:
                                    Ain't that right, @tagesschau and @NDR? And before @NDR starts making excuses, please read this https://mstdn.social/@grob/116227083659022964 and the corresponding thread and look up "cordon sanitaire" https://uebermedien.de/105993/die-medienschaffenden-in-wallonien-verstehen-sich-als-waechter-der-demokratie/ or
