Americans aren’t facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath | US news | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/global/commentisfree/2026/mar/08/trump-democracy-oligarchy-policy
"As long as we imagine democratic collapse as something still to be prevented, we will remain politically paralyzed, clinging to norms, leaders and procedures whose authority has evaporated.

"The operation, conducted by the Southern Spear Joint Task Force, resulted in the murder of two unidentified civilians. A third occupant survived the initial strike, though analysts have noted the recurrent fact that those who survive US attacks on small boats in the region often end up perishing or being killed during alleged rescue operations."

"What kind of world is this?
The Rafah crossing is surrounded by fences and iron, and social media is abuzz with noise, while Gaza is left under a suffocating siege.
Conditions imposed solely on us, and an Arab and Western world standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the occupation, save whom God has mercy upon.
God is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs."
