A Sad Day For America

Emboldened by Trump's election win, Neo-Nazis held a parade in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend.

"A lot of good people on both sides"
- Donald Trump in 2017

Here's some really good, timely & concise advice from @davidallengreen

As Trump term two gears up:

1. Don't respond to catastrophism & projections into the future of disaster; it'll sap your energy to no good end;

2. Don't respond to illiberals' declarations about what they're going to do - that's what they want so they can 'own' you;

But:
3. Do respond to what they actually do.

The illiberal hope that 1) & 2) will sap your energy for 3) - don't let it!

"His mission, his goals & objectives--whatever that is--we need to embrace it. All of it..Every. Single. Word. If Donald Trump says jump 3 ft high & scratch your head, we all jump 3 ft high & scratch our heads. That's it" - GOP Rep. Troy Nehls [w one of the most pathetic & blatantly #fascist statements I've ever seen]

The data is clear. Those, who are experts and actually scientifically investigate these topics have no doubts. Why do we not act? Why are people in huge numbers voting for politicians, who ignore what is known and are not only sacrificing our and our childrens' future, but already our presence?

Arab Americans, Ignore the Haters: Rejecting #KamalaHarris was the Right Thing to Do

#ArabAmericans are facing vicious pushback for refusing to abandon #Palestine, but people interested in a better world should follow our lead instead of mourning the neoliberal order.

Great article. "The Atlantic makes right-wing ideas respectable to liberals, and when it publishes articles encouraging Americans to be terrified of Iran or to support boosting the military budget, it does so in a “prestige-y format, next to a bunch of poems, and well-written movie reviews [which give it] some gravitas. You can’t just dismiss it as right-wing fear-mongering.” #Journalism #Magazines #Politics #Culture https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-worst-magazine-in-america

Earlier today, the Israeli occupation committed a bloody massacre when an airstrike targeted a gathering of aid workers in the Qizan Al-Najjar area in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, killing 6 civilians and injuring several others.


Israeli occupation army persists in its systematic and deliberate targeting of aid workers and their centers for the past 13 months, in an attempt to spread chaos and impose famine on Palestinians amid its severe siege of the Gaza Strip, which prevents the entry of essential supplies.

UNBELIEVABLE: As the Israeli occupation persists in its siege on the Gaza Strip for the 13th consecutive month, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid and fuel, more than 2 million Palestinians are enduring harsh conditions to meet their daily needs, leaving them at risk of death from starvation and the lack of essential resources.

I know I’m not alone in missing longer-form, thoughtful writing from thoughtful people.

To that end I’m interested in exploring some blogs and newsletters. Who are y’all reading that you’d recommend?

#politics, #humor, #culture, I’m open to a lot. :boost_ok:

In Farsi, we call the ostrich for Shotor-Morqh (شتر مرغ)which literally means Camel-Chicken, and there a saying about people who act like Israel:


  • They asked the ostrich to lay egg, and it said I am a camel (shotor شتر)
  • They asked it to carry a load, and it said I am a chicken (morgh مرغ)


This is the case with Israel, they are Europeans when it fits them and indigenous to Palestine since their god said they are.

PS. I know the poor Israel was kicked out of the Asian Cup and could not play in their and Europe gave them a chance to be part of the "civilized world" as they say.

For the ppl outside the USA (& naive USians), only one demographic (majority) outright rejected gqp tru mp fascism & serial criminality.

The (majority) rest either didn’t think a felon yt supremacist child rapist #fascist moron was a deal breaker or wanted him for those specific traits.

Many voters clearly seldom follow news or #politics bc 45yrs of the gqp Murdoch 🇷🇺 propaganda worked.

Low-info voters got basic facts & 🇺🇸civics wrong —which was part of the Gqp sabotage long game.

A word to the "leaders of the free world":

“Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No. This my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red ... ”

I don't always agree with Will Hutton, but on inheritance tax and farming, I think he's on the right track - we need to remake farming & IHT is one mechanism for starting to do that - farming needs to move beyond a semi-feudal hoarding of land & look to different modes of agricultural organisation.

He is right about the direction in which farming policy needs to move; its just contemporary farmers often find it difficult to see that....

"Let's put it this way, if the ethics committee had no dirt to hide on Gaetz, why wouldn't they release the report in a heartbeat?"
- Aure

Ethics panel faces existential crisis over Gaetz report

The pressure on the House Ethics Committee can’t be overstated, as members agonize over whether to release the report or keep it under wraps.

Hey so if you're a government supporting this through $$ or arms.. you kinda have to admit to yourself that you've been financing genocide now.

And it's not just the fines and the penalties costing them billions.

The EU does not allow these companies to farm its citizens like our governments do in North America. If the EU is splintered, kneecapped or otherwise goes away, the gold rush begins.

(Yes, we are literally being farmed. And they'll destroy anything that they have to in order to keep farming as many people as possible.)

On repeat, pointing to the votes in Dutch Parliament of today, November 19, 2024:

Something to witness: how "the safety of Israel" is the weapon Western democracies use to dismantle civil rights and turn their own countries into more open authoritarian police and surveillance states. IMO, they really got bold after they managed to "dissappear" the still ongoing pandemic.

Elon can do whatever TF he wants in America...but not in France.

I'll keep saying until I'm blue in the face - billionaire Americans will do anything in their power to prevent being held accountable by the EU, including aiding & abetting Putin's war on Europe.

*Every one of them:

Meta
Apple
Amazon
Microsoft
Google
X
etc

Are regularly held to account by the EU, costing them BILLIONS.

THAT is why they've all sided with the American fascists.

“For now, I am moving with a clarity of purpose that has allowed me to remain calm. I know that calm is not permanent. There will be days when I will find myself shaking. There will be mornings when I try to sing and find myself weeping. When those days come, I hope that I will make room for that complexity.” https://www.patreon.com/posts/must-reads-and-116082464?post_id=116082464&utm_id=b1bf2558-afb0-4adf-84a8-09f20edecaf8 via @MsKellyMHayes
