Some companies are quietly adding an “import tax” IN ANTICIPATION of possible future #tariffs. That is, tariffs that they don’t currently have to pay to import stuff.

#Trump hasn’t yet been sworn in and he’s driving up prices. #maga


Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

In case you’re thinking this is some odd lapse of judgement or something, it’s not. Cook’s no different to any other billionaire. If you want more proof, watch this talk I gave in Warsaw a few years ago:

After a failed auto-coup, Yoon's supporters are standing off Against the cops chanting, "stop the steal!"

As did #Bolsonaro supporters in '22.

I've yet to see any Dem or liberal pundit hang this new normal in democracies across the world on #Trump and his enablers in congress and on #SCOTUS.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes (who is amazing) has quit the Washington Post because the editors killed her editorial cartoon poking fun at the CEOs and tech-bros (including Jeff Bezos) prostrating themselves before Trump.

Here, in her own words, is the reason she quit:

And below is the rough of the cartoon that was killed.

Cartoonist Ann Telnaes leaves WaPo after someone above her killed a cartoon - the first that's happened in 16 years, she says.

The cartoon shows a bunch of oligarchs kneeling before and handing sacks of money to #Trump

👍🏻NYT:

“President #Biden is expected to permanently ban new oil and gas drilling in large sections of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as other federal waters. The move relies on a 70-year-old law that could make it difficult for the #Trump administration to reverse it.” #ClimateCrisis


This was mostly a sub-toot on the first round of news headlines I saw about these being connected incidents... which feels far fetched still.

There's been some more news that came out less than an hour ago that seems to make the Vegas situation clearly not an accident.

The driver reportedly killed themselves then the cybertruck exploded.

It doesn't seem like there was shrapnel so still seems pretty odd if this was meant as a terror attack.

#vegas #cybertruck #trump


DemocracyNow just posted some excellent reporting on both the Vegas and New Orleans military vet's turned terrorists.

They mentioned a tidbit I'd missed, which is that in the start of these incidents President elect Orange demon Trump said Biden's policies let in illegal aliens who were destabilizing our country. Shortly after it was discovered both assailants were ex military.

Surely Trump will post a retraction, right?

I’m launching a Stop Calling #AntiVax Nutjobs “Skeptics” Challenge for 2025.

Immunologists are the real vaccine skeptics, just as climatologists are the real climate change skeptics.

It’s called the scientific method. They don’t believe anything unless repeatable studies find compelling evidence for it and are open to revising their views as new data come along. Skeptics.

TDS In the Field Part 2: Cognitive Testing, Catfish, & Kinky Politics

Revisit some of 2024's most shocking reporting from the field, from Grace Kuhlenshmidt investigating the cognitive decline on Capitol Hill, to Ronny Chieng exploring how Wisconsin got catfished, to Troy Iwata trying out a rising kink: political humiliation.

[l] Elon Musk plant eine Live-Debatte mit Alice Weidel. Da könnte man sich jetzt noch einreden, dass das halt seine politische Position ist, oder dass das eine Werbekampagne für seine schrottige Plattform werden soll, aber mit dieser Meldung, wo er die Freilassung von Tommy Robinson aus dem Gefängnis fordert, wird da meiner Ansicht nach ein anderer Schuh draus.

Elon wird schlicht gemerkt haben, dass die Europäer weniger zum Regulieren kommen, wenn er sie mit für die EU höher priorisiertem Scheiß bewirft. Genau wie die Amerikaner weniger zum Regulieren kamen, als Trumps Wiederwahl immanent wurde.

[l] Fandet ihr das merkwürdig, dass sich Elon Musk (Zielgruppe: linke Tree Hugger) an Trump (Zielgruppe: Coal Roller) heranwanzt?

Stellt sich raus: Tesla-Kunden finden das auch merkwürdig.

:loading: I was waiting for this exterior view, Aral.
Thank YOU for providing it.
The view from the lobby interior didn't show enough detail of Elon's folly exploding in front of Trump's gaucherie, and those views were all that were being posted earlier
Haven't heard yet if any raccoons were injured in this incident. :loading:

#USA "Die er (#Trump) rief, die Geister, wird er nun nicht los"? Cool 😎

To meet people who think Putin and what he does in Ukraine is ok, or to say that Trump is a good choice for the USA, is quite a shocking experience. Almost like seeing Bigfoot. It is one thing to hear about it, another thing to see it.

It is astonishing to me how some people can be so idiotic and brainwashed. Unbelievable.

@jakob 👍 Und #Musk ist nicht mal allein: #Zuckerberg und #Bezos unterstützen #Trump und sind imho garantiert mit von der Partie bei Musk, auch wenn Zuckerberg quasi Konkurrent ist.

US business leaders set to break record on donations to Trump inaugural fund
theguardian.com/business/2024/…

Parmi les entreprises qui donnent ou s'apprêtent à donner des fortunes pour l'investiture de #Trump, pulvérisant tous les records précédents, on trouve, outre #Musk (#x et #Tesla), #Zuckerberg (#Facebook, #lnstagram & #Whatsapp), #Bezos (#Amazon), Ford, Toyota, General Motors ...

Tout le monde se lamente de l'arrivée des deux dangereux abrutis Musk et Trump à la tête des USA, et pourtant des millions des gens continuent à utiliser leurs produits à longueur de journée, et donc à les enrichir. Quelque chose m'échappe.

Trump presents a dilemma for Ukraine: accept a “peace” with major concessions or continue alone

Habe vorhin gelesen (Post, noch nicht von anderer Seite bestätigt), dass #Trump #Grönland dann eben annektieren will, was eine militärische Aktion wie Russland/ Ukraine zur Folge haben könnte. Trump ist jemand, der für sich den Begriff "verlieren" nicht kennt und dem alles zuzutrauen ist - imho.
Übrigens habe ich in El País gelesen, dass er neben Grönland und den Panama-Kanal auch Kanada will.
(hat Paywall, aber der Titel spricht schon für sich)

Trump projeziert sein imperiales Verlangen auf Grönland, Panama und Kanada.

They also alleged that the Trump units failed to correctly report the number of people the hotel employed so that he could avoid Panamanian social security payments” newsweek.com/donald-trump-pana…

#Trump supports the #DeathPenalty, & during his 2024 presidential campaign he called for an expansion, suggesting that “drug dealers & human traffickers” & child sex abusers should be put to death. During his first term, Trump restarted federal #executions after a nearly 20-year pause; all 13 were carried out in the final six months of his administration. He has not said how he will expand the death penalty to new federal crimes.

#law


#Democrats are still pushing #Biden in his final days to issue more acts of forgiveness for those behind bars under outdated laws that contributed to disparities in drug sentencing & the mass incarceration of #Black Americans. >60 Democrats, including close allies, signed a letter last month urging him to help the thousands of people whose sentences would be effected if some of the provisions in #Trump’s First Step Act were applied retroactively.

So this is the real reason why #DonaldTrump is threatening #Panama 🇵🇦.

#Biden campaigned in 2020 on ending the federal #DeathPenalty. Although proposed legislation to that effect failed to advance in #Congress during his admin, Biden directed the #DOJ to issue a moratorium on federal executions. 13 prisoners on federal DeathRow were put to death during #Trump’s 1st term.
“I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty….In good conscience, I cannot stand back & let a new administration resume executions that I halted.” Biden stmnt.
