#Trump #Assasination Attempt
#RNC Convention
"The scene was captured on video by radio host Dean Obeidallah and shared on X.
Also, I've learned to listen when #Trump makes outrageous announcements. He often means what he says. The #purges will come. He already has a very skilled #SecretaryOfRetribution. I don't think, thought, It'll be quite as bad as during #Stalin's #SovietUnion.

...Once the #Senate is under #MAGA control, I can see the age-old #Filibuster practice fall out of favor pretty quickly.
👉In short, this is a mostly legal coup. In my personal view, the outcome can roughly be compared to the 1st #Reichstag election of 1933 in the #WeimarRepublic, but (rather skillfully, I must, alas,admit)...
"...the #House...or a flip to #Democrats 👉as a last line of resistance to a #Trump second-term White House agenda.👈
A few individual seats, or 👉👉even a single one, will determine the outcome. 😂Final tallies will take a while, likely pushing the decision into next week—or beyond."
The "#DeepState" beaurocrats that corrected some of the #OrangePeril's severest assaults on the American system will quickly be replaced by 100% loyal MAGAT|s, which were vetted by the #Project205 taskforce put in place by the #FederalistSociety.
The #Senate seems to have been flipped Red already, and the #House....

#SupremeCourt #Justice in #Florida suspiciously retires only 4 months after re-election.
#DeSantis gets to appoint his 5th of seven justices.
This is right out of #Hitler's playbook.
I'm not gonna wade into the mire of recent #USPOL developments, but at least Jonathan Pie has once again nailed it with his take that cuts to the chase and hopefully might just bring a smirk from at least one corner of your mouth

This video from #AOC is great. Thoughtful, sober, but not without hope. I watched the whole thing (it's 52 minutes long and worth it.)
Sorry, I don't know if it's available anywhere other than Instagram, and I don't know if it requires an account to view. I know, I know. instagram.com/reel/DCDRaRoxJYW…
The history of slavery and its devastating aftermath is too complex for a simple blog post, but I wish to draw your attention to how slave owners were compensated when slaves gained their freedom.
Using billionaires' platforms will not save us anymore.
They have full control to silence your voices there. Using it only means more power to them. Leave their control and join The Resistance.
To build powerful communities that will be able to resist the oppression and injustice coming up soon, we need to fully move towards independent platforms.
And where would they get an idea like that? Maybe because you let the Republicans beat the nativist drums 24/7, never called them out on it, and let Trump hijack the entire conversation about the issue. F*ck the Times #uspol
(#UsPol) Here's the #AltText for Bernie's statement
" It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change, and they’re right.
Today, while the very rich are doing phenomenally well, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. Unbelievably, real, inflation -accounted-for weekly wages for the average American worker are actually lower now than they were 50 years ago.

Today, despite an explosion in technology and worker productivity, many young people will have a worse standard of living than their parents, and many of them worry that artificial intelligence and robotics will make a bad situation even worse. Today, despite spending far more per capita than any other country, we remain the only wealthy nation not to guarantee healthcare as a human right, and we pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. We, alone among major countries, cannot even guarantee paid family and medical leave.
Today, despite strong opposition from a majority of Americans, we continue to spend billions funding the extremist Netanyahu government’s all-out war against the Palestinian people, which has led to the horrific humanitarian disaster of mass malnutrition and the starvation of thousands of children.
Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as how as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy, which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.
In the coming weeks and months, those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice, need to have some very serious political discussions.

What America – mostly White America and Latino men – voted for last night in handing power to the American fundamentalist movement’s authoritarian leaders, scoping out from the most personal to the most global:
If this analysis is only half correct, this is the most damaging thing about Trump's reelection.
"the extra 4GtCO2e from a second Trump term would negate – twice over – all of the savings from deploying wind, solar and other clean technologies around the world over the past five years."
It could be the final death knell for keeping global warming under 1.5 degrees.

Some good news: On November 5, Amarilloans rejected the proposed abortion #travel ban, discussed in this story, by a margin of around 20 percentage points. texasobserver.org/far-right-ab…
Texas' biggest popular vote on abortion post-"Roe" pits local advocates against an abortion travel ban that's part of a scheme to block the path to New Mexico.
#USPol Here are some interesting extracts from that exit poll survey: (Blue/left is what democrat voters said, red/right is for republicans, I imagine that they categorised as Dem those who said they voted for Harris and Rep if they said they voted for Trump but this is not actually clearly explained)
Of course not all the votes have been counted yet but it doesn't look like it will change anything to these facts.
So, a clear and consistent far-right trend, despite all the personal flaws of that candidate and those close to him, that we really can't ignore or push under the rug.. Instead we need to fight it!
Notre carte et notre tableau présentent le nombre de grands électeurs remportés par Kamala Harris, vice-présidente sortante et candidate démocrate, ou par Donald Trump, son rival républicain.
If you are wondering what kind of messages -mala was sending to encourage people to vote for her, literally telling she will continue to support genocide into the future.
These motherfuckers (and Zionists/Fascists like Bernie who were telling everyone he will push her "left", who supported Half-dead Nazi zombie too to push him "left") are the one's who were telling everyone they will stop genocide & people should trust them.
If you’re someone at higher risk due to the US election, I want you to know that I’ll do what I can to help and support you.
If you find yourself in Colorado and need a place to stay for a few days—or just need someone to talk to—PLEASE reach out. I’m sick to my stomach, but I’m trying to figure out how to keep things positive.
The US SENATE will have two new Black female senators: Democrats Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland and Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware! #uspol #election2024
Milwaukee results expected to be delayed over absentee ballot tabulation redo
Milwaukee election officials are recounting roughly 30,000 absentee ballots after issues were discovered with tabulator seals. City spokesman Jeff Flemming told reporters the redo will likely cause delays in reporting those results in the key swing state. “It's just out of an abundance of... #press
"This is big: Exit poll finds voters rank abortion higher than immigration as most important issue. This is terrible news for Trump. His campaign was built around immigration." -F Ghitis, CNN
In #Pennsylvania und #Michigan und #Nevada (wichtige #SwingStates*) sieht es überraschend gut aus für die möglicherweise erste #US-Präsidentin der Geschichte.
Vielerorts Rekord-Wahlbeteiligungen. Die Jugend und die Latinos (wurden in #Trump|s letzter Wahlkampfveranstaltung in #NY indirekt als als "Müll" bezeichnet) haben sich besonnen und wollen Trump nicht wieder als Präsident. Wenn das auf die Wählerinnen auch...
Since young voters overwhelmingly support Democrats, high youth turnout in Nevada could be even more bad news for Republicans on a day when there is already a sense of panic growing around the GOP as more Democrats than they expected are voting on election day and Republicans aren’t getting the turnout that they anticipated so far.
