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.

Undocumented immigrants in the US have substantially lower crime rates than US-born citizens. Immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than US-born citizens.

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.

Did you know that the US military pays soldiers, sailors & airmen w/direct deposit on the 15th & 30th of each month? Did you know they use the Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS), a US Treasury system, to do that?

Did you know chucklefuck musk and his merry band of chucklenuts started messing with US treasury systems on the 31st?

Do adversaries anticipate our military pay could be broken, and in 10 days if pay doesn't deposit...will morale be dangerously low?

Very specific US government (gov’t) dates:

March 14 — gov’t funding will run out

Prepare for a shutdown (imo). It is very likely the powers-that-be will use this opportunity to further grind spending and attack gov’t employees.

Sept 30 — gov’t funding will run out again

This is the end of the govt’s fiscal year.

December 31— Tax Cuts and Jobs Act individual income tax provisions will expire.

Congress will need to act.

Many will wonder whether mass demonstrations can achieve anything. They will point to past failures, flash their discouragement, obey in advance.

Here are some things we can accomplish:

1. Cultivate active, engaged citizenship.

2. Build and foster broad solidarity.

3. Incentivize political leadership.

4. Take control of the narrative.

5. Signal to non-Americans that we are not done yet.

5. Take the temperature of police and security forces.

6. Enact a culture of non-violence.

#uspol


Protest and mass mobilization carry risks:

1. Police/military could escalate and crack down.

2. Black bloc might rush into reciprocal violence.

3. Decentralized movements can splinter and lose coherence.

There are resources that can help point the way.

The #50501movement will need substantial growth in size to surpass the scale of the protests during Trump’s first term. It’s evident that Democrats in Congress are unwilling to take any legally viable action, yet they haven’t. Will the courts even be effective since Trump has packed them? Large-scale nationwide protests, coupled with digital actions and financial boycotts, are the most effective tools we have. #uspol

Republicans will be complicit until there's a disaster or crisis in their states that was caused by #TrumpMusk -or because the Trump admin refuses to compensate, or fund the recovery.

Elon Musk bought a president and stole all of U.S. money. Trump is full hd fascist dictator like he promised. USians are like: "that sucks but we will win the next election!"
Donald Trump is your God now and Elon Musk is Jesus. There won't be elections anymore.

Tesla’s sales have dropped nearly 60% in January in Germany compared to the same period last year. The same thing is happening throughout Europe


He’s a definitely a horrible person. A narcissistic sociopath.

But I also think he’s not all there, just spewing random words like he’s in some boardroom closing another golf course deal.

Handlers used to hide this type of stuff, but now they don’t bother because they know his followers will twist anything he says to some narrative that maintains their reality. Then the media “sane washes” it for general consumption. They don’t even have to try.

Infuriating how casually the hosts on Triple J radio discuss an ethnic cleansing plan, as if it's just another political policy. I mean discuss it, sure, but start from the basis that it *is* ethnic cleansing, an aid to genocide and a gross violation of human rights.

Sigh you can just imagine these people back in the 1930s chattily discussing Hitler's latest oppressive laws. They'd probably play an audio clip of him too.
