Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

Surely there are no lessons here for the other Republican senators who are cowering before the MAGA movement. None at all.

Trump claimed that Russia would never have invaded Ukraine while he was president because Putin respects him too much, but now he's claiming that the US must have Greenland or Putin will invade it.

1/ A poetry reading by Russian ultra-nationalists in Krasnodar has been violently suppressed by Russian security forces, much to the dismay of their online supporters. The incident highlights how much Putin's regime fears being outflanked from the nationalist right. ⬇️
