Trump Mobile quietly rewrote its fine print to say the gold Trump phone may never be made, a year after taking $100 deposits

The terms and conditions said the preorder deposit gives people "a conditional opportunity" to buy the phone if the company makes it.

Before we take at face value much of the commentary this weekend on the continuing political ascendance of the Facist Frog & ReformUK Ltd, its worth just putting their vote in the local elections in some context.

As many have noted even with their success ReformUK Ltd still on control a very small proportion of *all* local councils, but its also worth noting than less than 10% of eligible voters cast a vote from the Frog & his associates.

I get that people have the best of intentions when they try to argue that Star Trek isn't a dead franchise, but... this is a series that once had a member of a resistance group inspired by real life Palestinian resistance as a sympathetic main character. And now it's apolitical CGIslop owned by a corporation that runs a blacklist of any actor who's ever spoken in support of Palestine.

Ellison-owned Paramount launches McCarthyite blacklist of actors opposed to Gaza genocide

The administration calls it a "little detour." One hundred seventy-four civilians dead. Twenty-five billion dollars. Zero congressional votes. When the past RNC chair calls it war crimes, you're not reading partisan screed—you're reading a smoke alarm. The land is keeping score. It always has.

Four economic sectors are doing particularly well from the US/Israeli attacks on Iran & Lebanon:

Oli & gas (profiting from windfall price rises);

Banks (generating fees from increased trading as investors seek 'safer' assets);

Defence (that is gaining investment as countries look at a new global security environment); and

Renewables (which is benefiting form the hardening of the logic of energy diversification).

Capitalists love a crisis!

In 2024, Republican-led states sued to reverse the Biden administration's inclusion of gender dysphoria as a protected disability. The case has since morphed into an effort to strip disabled people of publicly funded services and push them into institutions such as state hospitals and nursing homes.

How a legal challenge over gender dysphoria became a fight for disability rights • Stateline

A group of Republican-led states is pushing forward with a lawsuit that could weaken a key federal disability rights protection under a part of law known as Section 504, even after the original dispute over gender dysphoria was resolved.

You, @volkris wrote: "We can't look to the courts to fix legislative branch issues."

The extremist activist Roberts Supreme Court does not "fix legislative branch issues." It too often substitutes itself for the legislative branch. One recent example is its crippling of the Voting Rights Act:

"The Supreme Court dealt what may be a final blow to the landmark Voting Rights Act when it struck down Louisiana’s voting map as unconstitutional":
