Reading the #USpol notes today, I realize we'll wake up one morning, or pick up a smartphone, or turn on the radio and it'll be over – he'll be gone.

Things won't get better right away. The rats will fight over the pieces because the next guy doesn't own the cult in the same way. It'll be like the aftermath of the French Revolution, everyone guillotining each other for not being right kind of revolutionary.

It'll still be a mess, but the planet will celebrate like it hasn't in 80yrs or so.

Its come to something when citizens of a country make such a plea - with which I have much sympathy.

"Only 31% of U.S. adults now approve of how Trump is handling the economy, the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds. That is down from 40% in March and marks the lowest economic approval he’s registered in his first or second term.

Perhaps most worryingly for Trump, who’s become increasingly synonymous with his party, he’s slipped on issues that were major strengths. Just a few months ago, 53% of Americans approved of Trump’s handling of crime, but that’s fallen to 43%. There’s been a similar decline on immigration, from 49% approval in March to 38% now."

Film review: The Voice of Hind Rajab

The film "focuses on the Palestinian Red Crescent response to the desperate cellphone calls of Hind, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl, trapped by Israeli fire in Gaza in January 2024."

Hind, "along with six members of her family & two Red Crescent paramedics, eventually died in a hail of lethal IDF fire."

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

Trump says he is "disappointed" that Ukrainian President Zelensky hasn't read his peace proposal yet.

"Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but not sure that Zelensky is fine with it…His people love it, but he hasn't read it."

KGB's Codename For Trump is:


From the Wash Post:
"Overall, Trump — who campaigned against America’s drug crisis and promised to crack down on the illegal flow of deadly drugs coming across the border — has pardoned or granted clemency to at least 10 people for drug-related crimes since the beginning of his 2nd term, according to a Washington Post analysis. He also granted pardons or commutations to almost 90 others for drug-related crimes during the 4 years of his 1st term.

Bah humbug!

“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the DOJ,” said Kathleen Engel, a Suffolk University law professor and leading expert on mortgage finance. “Trump has deemed that this type of misrepresentation is sufficient to preclude someone from serving the country.”

LoL!
As the saying goes for trump and other authoritarians - "For my friends and me - everything, for my enemies - the law."

"In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a “Bermuda style” home in Palm Beach, FL, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just 7 weeks later, he got another mortgage for a neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence.

In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence. Instead, they were used as investment properties and rented out."

An excellent summary from Thom Hartmann of how we got here from Franklin Roosevelt to Reagan to trump and an optimistic look at what lies ahead.

"So now Donald Trump tells our young people that it’s time to make take the next big step — to reject democracy — as the logical outcome of the Reagan Revolution.

A new, progressive America is being birthed from the ashes of the Reagan Revolution and the GOP and its billionaire owners can’t stop it much longer."

The Palestine Action hunger strike is not being televised

"Six political prisoners – held unlawfully for a year or more on remand, & retroactively deemed to be 'terrorists' for trying to stop the Gaza genocide – have been on hunger strike for many weeks in prison. At least one is already seriously ill."

"There has been blanket silence from the media... & barely any coverage of the appalling conditions".

Report: "Pete Hegseth is under increasing fire for a double-tap strike... in which the US military killed two survivors of the Trump administration’s initial boat strike in the Caribbean on September 2."

Reportedly, Hegseth personally ordered the second strike, saying " Kill everybody.”

"Hegseth’s actions could result in the entire chain of command being investigated for a war crime or outright murder."

"The Trump administration is backing Monsanto in its effort to get the Supreme Court to shield it from liability over cancer claims related to its Roundup weedkiller, a move that could anger the Trump administration’s allies in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement."

Costco is the latest business to file suit against the Trump administration for levying illegal tariffs and is seeking a refund of collected tariffs. Revlon, EssilorLuxottica, Kawasaki, Bumble Bee, and Yokohama Tire have already filed their suits.

Now *this* would be a class action lawsuit I'd really love to see. It would also be amazing if all Americans who specifically bought Canadian products could know that their money didn't end up also assisting the very policy they were protesting.

Not a lawyer, but I'd expect that if this succeeds it might open up a Pandora's box as small businesses and individuals line up to press their case. Having to process claims for that many separate tariff payers would be complicated and add some more balls in the air for an incompetent administration to juggle.

Alas, probably for these kind of reasons, the weasels of #SCOTUS will find some way to permit the 47 syndicate to avoid having to process refunds no matter how they decide.

"New Yorkers Appear to Foil ICE Raid Before It Begins"

NYC has some unique advantages regarding small streets and density, this kind of massing is more challenging in other geographies. (NYC also has advantages in making national news...)

Report: Whistleblower says US has taken no action on several American citizens killed by the Israeli military.

Steve Gabavics was sent to investigate the 2022 murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who the IDF fired at 16 times while she was wearing a “press" vest.

Gabavics found that Israel intentionally killed Abu Akleh, but the US labelled it “accidental” to appease Israel.

The MAGA free speech warriors have created a "Media Offenders Hall of Shame," which is now posted on the official (.gov) White House website.

It has a "leaderboard" and snappy info graphics to illustrate who are the "repeat offenders."

This is what our gov't does with its (your) resources.

Report: "Netanyahu has formally requested a pardon from President Herzog over his ongoing corruption charges."

Netanyahu says it would be in the public interest because it "would reduce tension in Israeli society."

"Netanyahu faces charges of fraud, bribery and breach of trust, to which he has entered a plea of not guilty".

RE: mastodon.social/@SeanCasten/11…

This is an excellent thread which I can now quote-boost to add #USpol for the benefit of filters.

Many people I know still in uniform are deeply concerned about staying on the right side of international laws of warfare. Believe it or not, we spend a lot of effort to minimize unnecessary killing. That was a large part of my job in 2016-7 in the counter-ISIS fight.

This administration's approach is a a recurring slap in the face to the professional military.

Apparently, republican house members don’t like the way they are being treated by Mike Johnson, many more considering retiring or quitting.

How surprising. If you treat everyone like garbage they resent it.

Maybe Mr. Johnson that man of God should crack open the Bible little. Whatever he thinks religion is it’s not doing much for his behavior towards others.

US & Israeli security personnel reportedly shot & killed at least 2000 starving Palestinians at genocidal GHF "aid" sites.

While the GHF claims to be closing down, in fact its murderous security group, UG Solutions, is still involved & recruiting for December operations.

Whistleblower Anthony Aguilar reported on the GHF-UGSolutions massacres at the sites:
