Is there another example in modern public life of watching in real time a man become the very thing he swore he despised?

When the bells of history are tolling for America…will it disunite or reunite?
Which way will the fault lines break?
As I write in the link below this post:
“Sometimes I even wonder if Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is more ascendant and relevant in today’s world than George Orwell’s 1984, and then the next day the future feels more Orwellian, all over again.”
Can American democracy slowly take itself off at-home life support or will the alert alarms go to DEFCON One and America is taken away to the emergency room of history?
Despite the face of anti-democratic forces knocking on the door — and promoting a distinctly autocratic dystopian form of a plutocratic alt-ocracy, infused by nativist, nationalistic fervor and violent rhetoric, as the replacement for American democracy — my bet is still with a diverse majority plurality of We the People prevailing and seeding the regeneration of a renewed living democracy in America for all.
And in the link below, I also share a few thoughts on the challenges I faced and state of my own health — and also the experiences I endured when targeted as an enemy of the state in the eyes of the government — as an analog, in part, on the health of democracy in America and taking the pulse of its Constitutional Republic, while holding up the unblinking looking glass mirror of history.

Breaking News: The homicide arrest of a prominent Miami real estate broker in the boat crash death of a 17-year-old girl comes after a witness surfaced in response to a series of articles about the case in @miamiherald.
"That witness spoke out after the Miami Herald published a series of articles detailing how boaters who were immediately on the scene after the crash were never contacted by state investigators."
The reason the story stayed alive is because reporters at the Miami Herald never let go of it. #localnews

Anyone tempted to wonder what happened to "America's Mayor" should google the story of his campaign against David Dinkins, the first Black Mayor of NYC. It's not Trump who corrupted him. He hasn't "fallen low." This is who he's always been, even when he wore the post 9/11 halo

We had a blast doing this interview together from the cupola. We really enjoyed sharing how we take pictures of the earth and cosmos. I already miss seeing the incredible views of Earth.
A REALLY FUN interview IN THE CUPOLA with @astro_Pettit and @dominickmatthew ... Two of the best astronaut photographers to ever fly. It's fun to float around in the cupola with them!

Elections aren’t about finding your perfect match- they are about choosing under what conditions you want to organize for a better world. @AOC says “I know who I would rather argue with…100,000 %” as she talks about the life and death consequences of a Trump presidency.

Research suggests we’re entering the early stages of real estate prices falling in response to climate risk.
The effect may not be as large as the global financial crisis, but in some vulnerable neighborhoods, the fallout may feel very similar. wapo.st/3zPqXS9

RIP to Kris Kristofferson, who lived one of the most fascinating lives. Found this pre-fame Kristoffer in an old Sports Illustrated where he’d already been a boxer, newspaper editor and rugby star before he headed off to college to study writing.
Would be grateful for a RT. My daughter was not a celebrity, she was just a normal individual who unfortunately died from a brain cancer. I'm trying to raise awareness of glioblastoma, a grade 4 tumour that took her at the age of 19 yrs 5 days.
With thanks (Charlotte's mother)

Marcellus Williams' son, in a heartfelt video, shared his father’s final wishes: “He wanted the community to focus on positivity and not let this become another spark for violence. He was okay, calm, and wanted people to have a free spirit.” A call for peace in the face of pain.
