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.

#Aldi Süd: Discounter entfernt Bekenntnis zu #Diversität von #US-Website

https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/aldi-sued-discounter-entfernt-bekenntnis-zu-diversitaet-von-us-website-a-95d93e60-5c70-429c-b8d8-4e6c391e1309?sara_ref=re-so-app-sh

>> Etliche US-Unternehmen knicken vor Donald Trumps Anti-Wokeness-Feldzug ein und fahren ihre Gleichstellungsinitiativen zurück. Nun hat auch Aldi Süd Informationen über Diversitätsprogramme von seiner US-Karriereseite gelöscht.

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!"

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.

" President Donald Trump suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be permanently resettled outside the war-torn territory and proposed the U.S. take “ownership” in redeveloping the area into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”"

Dixiecrats rule since 1968 @yianiris But truth be told, they just pass the buck back and forth. If you saw the GOP platform from the 1950s you'd think they were left wing radical compared to the Dems then or now. After 1968 the #DUOPOLY owned by #Plutocrats became complete. I suspect the Banker's Coup during the FDR admin finally played out decades later. The current difference illustrated below.

So calling it "a declaration of war against the Arab people" is Jordan's way of saying that they love Trump's plan!

Don't expect any love from me for cowards, especially those cosplaying "leaders". Little people, pretending to "admire" heroes, but never attempting to be one. They steal respect and recognition from those who truly deserve it.

They only deserve contempt.

In case you missed it, and especially if you voted against #Biden to teach him a lesson about #Palestine.
Trump says US should “own” Gaza. In a joint press conference with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump said he sees “a long-term ownership position” for the US in Gaza, an area devastated by the 15-month war between Israel and Hamas. Trump said the 2 million Palestinians who live there should go to other countries while the area is redeveloped and eventually turned into “the Riviera of the Middle East,” where “the world’s people,” Palestinians included, could live.


"During the run-up to the election, the argument goes, we Palestinian and #ArabAmericans should have understood that resisting fascism in the United States is the primary goal and gotten in line accordingly.

"But resisting fascism is our collective goal. We just know that in order to resist it, we have to fight it on two fronts of #USstateViolence: at home and abroad." - #NouraErakat

#Biden and the #USArmy tried to build a dock in #Gaza, and wasted $230 million for a PR stunt to just see themselves humiliated by their own incompetency. The dock was an embarrassing failure:

Now Trump's #US want's to build a series of his "extremely successful" casinos there? And with the help of the same US Army?

What could possibly go wrong? 🤣

(If you don't want the sticky embarrassment of Trump's actions, you've got to do something about it.)

What did you think he would do? He met with Bibi and they agreed to block any ceasefire until after the election. He accepted a billion from Adelson who has been a advocate for expulsion and annexation since the 80s.

Read 47's idiotic, baleful words about #Gaza in the voice of Archie Bunker: “Why would they want to return? The place has been hell,” he said.

“Because it’s their home, sir!” a reporter called out. “Why would they leave?”

“It’s been one of the meanest, toughest places on Earth,” Trump continued. “And right now, I’ve seen every picture from every angle—better than if I were there—and nobody can live there. You can’t live there.”

« Véritable menace pour la #CPI, la loi dite «Illegitimate Court Counteraction» a pour conséquence directe et voulue d’entraver l’efficacité de la Cour dans la poursuite et la sanction des crimes dits «internationaux». Si Donald #Trump a perdu son premier pari de l'adopter avant la visite de Benjamin #Netanyahu à Washington le 4 février, Il n’y a toutefois pas matière à crier victoire hâtivement. »

New from Kit @oconnell: As Republicans made bigoted rhetoric a key part of their campaign strategy, there were at least three assaults, six bomb threats and 30 protests against LGBTQ+ events last year according to the nonprofit GLAAD.
