To those of us who grew up with Stalin & subsequent despots of the USSR as lethal enemies, & Putin as our current nemesis, the term ‘dictator’ has a definitive & bloody connotation.

What would you call an administration that deletes official governmental records, prevents all independent oversight, eliminates established freedoms and rights by Executive Order, and by bypassing established systems of governance under Members of Congress imposes its will on all citizens and residents?

I’d ignore all the sanitizing language and call that administration a dictatorship.
I’d also call the illegal strategy by which it usurped power a coup.

KEEP CALLING YOUR REP AND SENATORS. THEY’RE LISTENING, AND ELECTED DEMOCRATS ARE ACTING.
CALL CONGRESS TODAY! 202-224-3121

How to deal with #BlueMAGAts on social media.

#Bluesky is full of them and almost every day I have to block one of those disgusting genocide apologists who joyfully blame the criminal actions of Orange Hitler on anti genocide protesters and those who didn't vote for pro-genocide Kamala "Because under her presidency there was a chance that Palestinians would get justice" (EXACT words of one of them).

This Spurious Caesar thinks tearing out fully functioning air traffic control machines to replace them with new ones is *checks notes* a way to _save_ money. Up is down, water is dry and we have always been at war with Eastasia. #USpol

For 3 days now there is a criminal with international arrest warrant who now "monitor this phase of the hostages' release from the control center of the delegation in the U.S.".
Just saying...

Remember when newspapers took the time to catalog every lie the felon-in-chief said?

I know we’ve given up on the truth, but could we at least get a news organization to track constitutional violations?

“The US National weather Service, housed within NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.”
-D Swain

A tweet from Senator Chris Van Hollen discussing concerns about potential targeting of NOAA by individuals associated with Musk, mentioning the importance of NOAA's work in weather forecasting and scientific research.


Wenn die Realität ein US-amerikanischer Film wäre, würden jetzt nacheinander alle aufstehen, sich gegen Trump erheben und sagen, was für ein Arschloch er ist.

Es würde mit "U. S. A., U. S. A."-Sprechchören enden und Trump käme in den Knast.

“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity” underestimates the number of malicious assholes who are also wildly incompetent.

Like, accidentally appointing the wrong person as head of the FBI.

Following the 2024 presidential election, the Trump transition team asked Driscoll to serve as Deputy Director of the FBI underneath Robert Kissane as acting director.[5]
In 2025, following the inauguration of Donald Trump, Driscoll became acting director of the FBI because the White House website "incorrectly listed" him as acting director and Kissane as deputy director.[5] "Instead of fixing the error, the pair swapped their temporary FBI roles," according to the Wall Street Journal.[5]


WTF New York Times?

Apparently ethnic cleansing is now “disrupting a tired diplomatic paradigm”

US media now propagandise that opposing crimes against humanity, genocide, and eternal war is a tired diplomatic paradigm.

New York Times:

Trump’s Gaza Plan Has Many Pitfalls, Hamas Among the Biggest

President Trump’s proposal to “own” Gaza and transfer its population elsewhere has stirred condemnation and sarcasm, but it is an opening bid and could disrupt a tired diplomatic paradigm.


Perfide an dem Staatsstreich in den USA ist ja, dass a) der Supreme Court dem Praesidenten einen Persilschein ausgestellt hat und b) der Praesident nun alle am Putsch Beteiligten auch vorab begnadigen kann.
Sollte es also je wieder eine demokratisch gewaehlte Regierung in den USA geben, die diesen Coup aufarbeiten moechte, wird das vermutlich aus den genannten Gruenden nicht moeglich sein, es sei denn, man ignoriert selber solche rechtlichen Eckpfeiler wie Begnadigungen etc.

Verzwickte Situation.

🧵1/Ω @ProPublica is reporting that Gautier Cole Killian, the 24 year old engineer on the #DOGE team, worked at #JumpTrading.

This seem to not be entirely correct - Cole Killian is a crypto bro who apparently worked at Jump's crypto subsidiary (cleverly named #JumpCrypto), a company which was notorious among traders for market manipulation and ended up getting whacked for over a hundred million dollars for financial crimes before having its CEO forced out (which is possibly why Mr. Killian has time to DOGE).

Among other things Jump Crypto was intimately involved in the spectacular collapse of the $40 billion Terra/Luna ponzi scheme, a financial cataclysm that ruined tens of thousands of people's lives.

Put less gently, no one who worked at Jump Crypto should be anywhere near any financial job ever again, period.

For over a year we've watched on - our government doing nothing - as the Israeli government slaughtered half-a-hundred thousand people and maimed, starved, brutalised and displaced many and more.

And now our so-called closest ally wants to finish the job. Scorch earth all of Gaza. Make all Gazans refugees. And build a resort.

Alliance with the United States demeans all Australians and makes us complicit to genocide.

I was having a hard time figuring out why the Nazis made another Nazi resign, until I read his comments about marrying outside his race and normalizing Indian hate.

The USA is experiencing a Constitutional Crisis. Now that it's begun, there's no quick or easy way to halt or reverse the slide into fascism. It's fair to say the USA is no longer a Democracy and has become a failed state.

The Constitution of the United States of America says the US Federal Government is made of three branches:
- The Executive: dictatorial President Trump, and a bunch of hand-picked cronies, yes-men, and unelected but paid-up oligarchs like Elon Musk.
- Legislative: GOP-owned Senate and GOP-owned House of Representatives due to voter-suppression, voter-disenfranchisement, and high voter-apathy leading to low voter-turnout in 2024.
- Judicial: GOP-owned Supreme Court and GOP-owned lower Courts.

Israeli Channel 7 in Hebrew: Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu met today (Thursday) at the Capitol building in #Washington with the leaders of the #US #Senate from both parties. Netanyahu's office said in a statement, "The prime minister was received with great warmth, and the meeting was warm and friendly. The Senate leadership expressed its unconditional support for the prime minister and #Israel, and praised Israel's achievements in the war." In the meeting, the prime minister explained Israel's position, saying, "We must prevent #Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and eliminate #Hamas in #Gaza." His words were met with sympathy and approval from representatives of both parties.

A side-effect of having USDS listed in my LinkedIn bio right now is journalists keep asking me to talk with them. I just heard from a reporter at #WashingtonPost. This is what I told him.
#WaPo #journalism #politics #USPol
WaPo does some amazing journalism, but the decision to kill the Harris endorsement and the (literal and metaphorical) fact that Bezos was in the front seat at Trump's inauguration means I can't work with you or anyone from your paper. There were other problems with WaPo before, but those were really the last nails in the coffin.
Regardless of how good your personal reporting is, your employer is in league with the fascists.
Take care.


Don Jr looks like he snorts everything snortable within a 25 metre radius.

If he did kill those endangered ducks in Venice, he probably had them dried and powdered so he could snort them too.

Where’s Ivanka gone? Oh, Don-Don snorted her.

#Trump to sign an executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court

What's truly contemptible about Australia's leaders is we know - everyone knows - they privately use expletives like 'Fuckwit,' 'Idiot' and 'Shitcunt' to describe Trump and Musk, while publicly mouthing pleasantries and platitudes.

True cowards. And fuckwits, idiots and shitcunts by proxy.

Danke für nichts, Aldi. Wenn Bekenntnisse gegen Diskriminierung nur Softwashing in guten Zeiten sind, waren sie nie was wert.
