Strongly recommend this excellent piece. It actually understates the US failure: Brazil and S. Korea aren’t outliers. Quite the opposite. Since 2010, 31 democracies have convicted or banned leaders from office. Accountability is the democratic norm. America is the sole outlier.
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

again, gawker was killed to smother its reporting. same with cbs news. and it’ll be the same with cnn. it’s not about what replaces the newsrooms as much as the destruction or capture of them. less reporting = more elite impunity
CNN has a solid, well-funded newsroom, regardless of the network’s editorial slant. a lot of good reporters will lose their jobs, and the public will lose all the stories they would’ve reported. and they are one of the last newsrooms to pay for costly but critical on the ground war correspondents.

I no have an even worse reading of what Newsome is doing …..
He’s campaigning to donors and “middle”( read white cishets) that he will go hard at Trump… but not be “woke” when he wins
So it’s not mishaps it’s planned offense

Whenever I see a politician like Gavin Newsom complain about "pronouns," I want to give a grammar lesson in reflexive pronouns:
Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself.

lol i solve this by not watching men’s sports
One of the things that makes sports so difficult to watch is that so many of the athletes (the white male ones in particular) are right wing chuds.
Yes, I am glaring diretly at the US men's hockey team.

remember when Alito spoke back at the State of the Union because Obama had the gall to say the true statement that Citizens United would "open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections"

I think the collapse of print newspapers and the end of linear TV habits has created a context collapse for news. Where once day to day reporting and investigation and lifestyle sat side by side in one package, now they live as seperate things in people's minds, with reality warping effects

Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes.
If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.

This is not a hypothetical fear. My piece focused on three countries — Brazil, South Korea, and Poland — where elected authoritarians were too blatant and their opponents did a good job persuading key audiences that the democratic threat was real.
The result, in each case, was authoritarian defeat.
