Democracy is easily eroded and lost. It's much harder to get back. If you doubt it could happen in America then please take the time to read the article below.

To anyone doubting that the US could lose its democracy, here, in detail, is how it could happen.
The process is called "democratic backsliding." It's happened in 21st century Turkey, Hungary, India, and others. And the US is further along than you think.

I will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team this week to discuss Starshield, sanctions, and other matters pertaining to the defense of our strong ally, Ukraine. I will be assuring President Zelenskyy that anyone who attempts to limit the use of Starshield for Ukraine will be fully investigated and will be held fully accountable, to include public congressional oversight hearings, and immediate harsh and punitive budget cuts to any responsible agency or agency head.
Congress will unequivocally reaffirm that Ukraine is an indispensable ally to the United States, that Russia is a self-declared enemy of the United States, and that the United States will 100% support and defend the people of Ukraine in their fight for their own freedom against this brutal, illegal, and unprovoked Russian invasion.
The United States must provide any and all defensive equipment that Ukraine needs to defend itself. The United States must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Sanctions against the Russian regime must be harsher and stronger than they’ve ever been before. Each and every one of these items will be brought to the House Floor—and each and every one of these items will pass on the House Floor by an overwhelming margin.
This is, after all, what Ronald Reagan would do. And this is what we will do now. Ukraine can, and will, defeat Russia. #PeaceThroughStrength
🙏 Ukraine and Russia are close to reaching an agreement on evacuating civilians from Russian-occupied Oleshky
Ukraine’s Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets said the two sides are finalizing the details of a ceasefire arrangement and the safe evacuation of civilians to Ukrainian-controlled territory.
The situation in Oleshky has become a humanitarian catastrophe. Food deliveries have reportedly been cut off since May, leaving residents facing starvation, severe shortages of medicine, and no reliable access to electricity or running water.
Some people are surviving on just one meal a day, eating weeds and whatever food they can find. Those trying to escape face mined roads and the constant threat of drone attacks.
The proposed evacuation would cover Oleshky and six neighboring settlements, where an estimated 6,000 civilians, including up to 200 children, may still remain.
“We have made as much progress as possible,” Lubinets said, expressing hope that the outcome of the negotiations would become clear soon.

BREAKING WSJ:
Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, Trump, and Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow. https://t.co/q5Hqer5bBD
Vladimir Putin appears to have concluded that he cannot win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield. His strategy now is to grind Ukraine down. How scandalous that Donald Trump has become his best weapon https://t.co/vOpJsJYM3I
Bloomberg: Zelenskyy also said the US is delaying deliveries of interceptors for Patriot air-defense systems used to shoot down Russia’s ballistic missiles, which inflict the heaviest damage on infrastructure in Ukrainian cities.
“We have paid for the weapons” including anti-ballistic missiles under so-called PURL program, Zelenskyy said. “A part of the supplies has been authorized” by the US side, “while the rest haven’t been. And this is not a technical issue.”
ICE run over U.S. citizen riding his bike—break his arm.
Agents handcuff him behind his back without calling paramedics.
They inflict even more injuries—send him to the hospital in serious condition.
Then agents detain another U.S. citizen—for yelling at them on the sidewalk.
Man with the broken arm's daughter says he was hit on his e-bike by an unmarked car.
He was then tased twice and pinned to the ground—currently receiving treatment at the hospital.
Multiple ICE vehicles were running through stop signs—speeding the wrong way down one-way streets.
All on a weekend afternoon with kids playing outside.
Incident occurred near the intersection of East 56th Street & Elm Avenue in Long Beach, California.
Stop ICE Net doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length, English translated, and credited video here to help raise awareness.
Such a phenomenal douche. Our allies fought and died next to us. I spent a butt load of time in Afghanistan (in far worse circumstances than this performative clown) and the only comment to our allies is “thank you.” That’s it. Heartfelt. Thank you. Also, he’s addressing ROTC students with this horseshit. That is just plain dangerous. Our next generation cannot be taught such BS.

Shameful. Over a thousand Allied Soldiers were killed in Afghanistan fighting alongside US Soldiers and Marines. Why would the Secretary think it was appropriate to disparage our Allies in front of these young Cadets, future Officers?
NEW: Thousands of Florida college students will be disenfranchised by a law banning university-issued ID cards to vote, says new lawsuit.
Concealed carry gun IDs are OK, but not college IDs to comply with Florida's voter ID law.

State law makes them eligible to vote where they go to school. But Republicans are afraid of their votes. Remember, no one would be trying so hard to take away your vote unless they understood how powerful it makes you. Vote no matter what.
Russia is expanding its war into space.
Russian military satellite Kosmos 2612 has maneuvered dangerously close to an American satellite operated by Finnish company ICEYE, which provides intelligence to Ukraine.
This could be preparation for an attack, espionage, or intimidation.
Meanwhile, the US president is busy trying to build business relations with Russia.
