When authoritarians tell you they like authoritarianism, over and over and over and over and over again, believe them
Trump on Egypt: "They have very little crime. Because they don't play games. That's why. Like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing."

Die USA sind soweit, dass Leute ohne Prozess eingesperrt werden und ganz offen Höchstgerichtsentscheidungen ignoriert werden. Das ist Autokratie. Aber wir geben uns so mittelbesorgt, anstatt das überall zur Schlagzeile zu machen. Es ist dieselbe Ignoranz wie beim Klimakollaps. Don't look up.

Another term for “homegrown criminals” would be citizens.
He’s asking Bukele to build prisons so he can ship American citizens to El Salvador.
And don’t forget just how expansive Trump’s concept of criminality is. It includes pretty much anyone who offends him.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

Hey, @spoe.at @neos.eu es gibt in Österreich mehrere NGOs und (technische) Expertinnen (nicht ich), die man bei genau so einer Evaluierung einbinden sollte. Ich nehme an, das liesse sich legistisch durchaus kodifizieren. Aehnliches gibt es ja auch beim Denkmalschutz.
Der/die Rechtsschutzbeauftragte ist übrigens zwingend Jurist:in (§ 91b SPG), und ich wünsche ihm/ihr viel Erfolg, binnen zwei Wochen zu beurteilen, ob ein Trojaner (ua) am zu überwachenden Computersystem nur Veränderungen vornimmt, die für die Nachrichtenüberwachung unerlässlich sind /5

One of the questions I’ve been asking is: what happens if the US government becomes weird about end-to-end encryption and the 1st amendment (because let’s be honest, weird is now on the table.) Can Signal relocate to Europe? These efforts seem to say No.

Trump is teaching the world a simple and yet forgotten lesson: if an authoritarian isn’t stopped, he won’t stop. He’ll move faster. And Trump is dismantling US democracy with lighting speed and some still assume there will be fair elections in two or four years. I highly doubt it.
What Authoritarianism Means
Even critical observers underestimated the speed and scope of the Trumpist assault, they overestimated democratic resilience. What is America now, and what comes next?
