Egyptian fears now are that the #UAE is trying to carry out large-scale plans to blow up the Gaza Strip from within by stimulating protests against Hamas and creating confrontations between the people and the resistance. It even amounted to Emirati funding through Israel for any Gazan who wants to demonstrate against Hamas.”
...Surrender would not prevent mass displacement, but would accelerate it. The collapse of #Gaza would send shockwaves through the occupied #WestBank, East #Jerusalem, and the 1948 territories, heralding the final act of the #Palestinian cause.
Hamas has resolved to continue the fight regardless of the cost. “If we are to be eliminated,” one source tells The Cradle, “let it be in an honorable battle, not in exile.” They cite the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacres as a grim lesson: once the Palestine Liberation Organization (#PLO) left Lebanon, the residents of the defenseless camps were butchered. The difference now is that #Hamas is on its own land, among its own people.
Why Hamas resists all foreign demands for surrender
As US-backed surrender demands mount and ceasefire negotiations collapse under the weight of sabotage and regional betrayal, Hamas is standing its ground – choosing resistance over exile, even as Gaza burns and Arab states line up to seal its fate.thecradle.co

US-Präsident Trump gibt sich unschuldig: Die Menschen würden ihn bitten, 2028 erneut als Präsident zu kandidieren, erklärte er und befeuerte damit einmal mehr Spekulationen über einen Verbleib im Amt. Aber lässt die Verfassung das zu?

„The war in Gaza has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined. It is, quite simply, the worst ever conflict for reporters.“

Because of the Signal chat leak, it’s less likely that they’ll use vulnerabilities in Signal to do that. Equally, bad actors such as drug cartels may also feel safer using Signal. Their security against the US government lies in the fact that the US government shares their vulnerabilities. No one wants their secrets exposed.
I have long advocated for a "defense dominant" cybersecurity strategy. As long as smartphones are in the pocket of every government official, police officer, judge, CEO, and nuclear power plant operator—and now that they are being used for what the White House now calls calls "sensitive," if not outright classified conversations among cabinet members—we need them to be as secure as possible. And that means no government-mandated backdoors.
We may find out more about how officials—including the vice president of the United States—came to be using Signal on what seem to be consumer-grade smartphones, in a apparent breach of the laws on government records. It’s unlikely that they really thought through the consequences of their actions.
Nonetheless, those consequences are real. Other governments, possibly including US allies, will now have much more incentive to break Signal’s security than they did in the past, and more incentive to hack US government smartphones than they did before March 24.
For just the same reason, the US government has urgent incentives to protect them."

75 Prozent der US-Wissenschaftler erwägen, ihr Land zu verlassen
Eine aktuelle Umfrage zeigt, dass 75 Prozent der US-Wissenschaftler es sich vorstellen können, das Land zu verlassen. Die massiven Kürzungen der Trump-Regierung bei Forschungsgeldern und das politische Klima treiben viele nach Europa und Kanada.Witold Pryjda (WinFuture.de)
In an unequal society where the majority must invest the lion’s share of their time and energy into the labour required to obtain the bare necessities of life, individuals lose much in the way of personal freedom and life satisfaction. But we also collectively sacrifice unfathomable quantities of human creativity and potential. There might be abundant growth, but that can matter very little if its fruits aren’t broadly shared.
Redistribution does not equal, as Klein and Thompson assert, a mere “parceling out of the present.” In a very difference sense than theirs, it represents its own agenda of abundance — one reflecting the richest egalitarian ideas of the 19th and 20th centuries. The liberalism of the 21st might reject those ideas, but many of us on the left still see them as indispensable. Socialism, contrary to what many of its critics have historically claimed, is first and foremost concerned with human freedom: freedom to think, freedom to dream, freedom to create, freedom to live unburdened by toil
(...)
Klein and Thompson appear to believe distributional questions can be mostly elided if enough new technology is invented and a sufficient quantity of stuff is built and produced. Contentious debates about degrowth aside, I find this assertion vastly more improbable and utopian than the project of universal social welfare or the realization of social and economic rights. Scientific and technological innovations can be hugely beneficial, but until we live in the world of Star Trek: The Next Generation it’s unlikely they will ever compensate for the dearth of social and economic justice."

I believe that the #Trump #Junta wants to put the "bottom" 90% of the #US population into economic pain. For a variety of reasons. Some are outright #evil, some more connected to the general #macroeconomic situation of the #USA.
What they WANT is a managed #recession they can handle.
What (at least as I project this) they are instead GOING TO GET is a #FreeFall off a cliff.
I think they miscalculated badly here.

„Over the last year and a half, the movement for Palestinian liberation has become one of the largest American #socialmovements of the decade. Not only that, there has also been an incredible resurgence of the Jewish left, as Jewish Palestine solidarity organizations, such as #IfNotNow and #JewishVoiceforPeace, organize a growing contingent of young Jews for an end to the genocide in Gaza.“

It's a long read, unsurprisingly, as it is a long war, but I cannot recommend it strongly enough for those that wish a deeper understanding of the conflict up to the point of Trump's second term.

It makes me want to raise funds for attritable air platforms to carry Wide Area Motion Imaging payloads for the Ukranians, so they might (EM spectrum permitting) be assured of what lies in the ground ahead of them, and keep moving swiftly (for to remain still or move slowly in battle - or indeed any conflict - is usually a terrible idea).
I am astonished that attempts to demolish the Kerch Strait bridge were forbidden by the US in 2022, and much later, that ban was lifted. Strategically, I'm gobsmacked at the way both sides prioritise politically desirable targets over winning the conflict definitively. Perhaps I am naive.
I am sad that the most excellent authors of the piece did not point out Ukraine's population demographics (worth looking up to understand why they abhor sending under-25yos to fight).
I am sure others reading this account will view it from a different aspect and be surprised by different things. I'd be curious to know what they are (as well as any hashtags I missed) if anyone cares to post here!

I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read,2 and most certainly not the attention span to finish. For them to sit down and try to read a book like The Overstory might as well be me attempting an Iron Man triathlon: much suffering with zero chance of success.
Students are not absolutely illiterate in the sense of being unable to sound out any words whatsoever. Reading bores them, though. They are impatient to get through whatever burden of reading they have to, and move their eyes over the words just to get it done. They’re like me clicking through a mandatory online HR training. Students get exam questions wrong simply because they didn't even take the time to read the question properly. Reading anything more than a menu is a chore and to be avoided."

Yes, some. Analysts say it amounts to something of a "rounding error" within the overall #budget. Government expenditure has been rising anyway in the same time, so it will be hard to notice at all.
But it has done SOMETHING. Every country in the world is sending its agents (online & offline) now to the #USA to exploit new vulenrabilities.

This argument came into politics through both sides of the aisle. The Reagan administration was run by Wall Street, with men like banker William Simon and Chicago Schooler Robert Bork organizing policy. But it was preceded by Jimmy Carter’s deregulation of shipping, banking, trains, buses, trucking, airlines, energy, and even skiing, and his appointment of Wall Street-friendly Fed Chair Paul Volcker.
In 1980, the Democratic-led Senate Joint Economic Committee published a report titled Plugging in the Supply Side. Lloyd Bentsen, who later became Bill Clinton’s Treasury Secretary during the NAFTA fight, authored it. Everyone from Paul Tsongas, to Gary Hart to Robert Reich bought this frame, as did magazines like The New Republic. By 1980, neoliberalism had become consensus. Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter’s ostensibly “liberal” nemesis, fought to go further than Carter in ending rules on airplanes, and Ralph Nader aligned with Citibank on deregulating finance. Many of the unions, with the exception of the Teamsters, bought into deregulation.
The consequences were immediate. The U.S. manufacturing base took a major hit as the trade deficit exploded under Ronald Reagan. Bill Clinton continued and expanded it, focusing on high-technology pursuits and a “Bridge to the 21st Century.” When you think about it, that’s weird. How can a nation keep importing more than it exports, on a permanent basis? Why would trade partners keep sending them stuff? The answer is in the part of the story that the proponents of this model suggest, which is services."

#Venezuela’s state-owned flag carrier Conviasa Airlines is heavily involved in Iran’s global illicit arms network.
A highly unusual occurrence involved the sanctioned airline Fars Air Qeshm B747, which flew westbound from Tehran, Iran. The flight changed its designation from QFZ9970 to W59970 and landed at Nouakchott, then the Iranian flight continued on to Caracas, Venezuela.
Iran is outsourcing kamikaze drone production to Venezuela. Tehran, Caracas and Moscow have been operating a clandestine air bridge that must be dismantled.
