Borges alleges that a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, copied the government’s master Social Security database into a cloud system that lacked normal oversight.
“Put simply, the loudmouths of the far right are competing in an attention economy. Saying something shocking wins attention, but to keep it they have to say something more shocking still. There is a ratchet effect, which ensures the conversation becomes ever more extreme. Note the latest effusion from the white supremacist US influencer Nick Fuentes. Holocaust denial worked for him for a while, but his audience demands more. This week, he provided it by directing his fire at women, whom he castigated for encouraging sympathy for the poor and minorities. “
Cable news people call them “prison camps” or “Trump prison camps,” but look in any dictionary: prisons are where people convicted of crimes are held. As Merriam-Webster notes, a prison is:
When I was younger I read the book “Trance formation of America” by Cathy O’Brian and was really disturbed by it. I was always between thinking the book cannot be true and complete conspiracy or it might be true in some form.
The host asks him about his police department officers working with ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’, as crowd control, he skits around the question & goes back to the evil (& yes it is evil, not saying i t is not) of ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’ actions in his city.
…The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners “involved” the sick & evil of Mr. Epstein Sex Trafficking Girls-Women violated those same morality, ethics & laws & face either next to nothing (the small amount of the Epstein files released & redacted did nothing, it is everything outside of those redacted files) or nothing at all as far consequences.
Trump ran on a promise to lower costs on day one, but a year into his presidency, the real beneficiaries are his billionaire donors. Instead of making life more affordable for everyday Americans, Trump has used the presidency to enrich himself and his billionaire allies, while making the largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in history and leaving working families behind.
“A good rule of thumb when looking at a Republican-drafted bill or campaign is that its name is directly the opposite of whatever it is meant to achieve. If there is something about ‘protecting women’ in the title, for example, then it’s probably actually about controlling women or bullying transgender people. The same is true of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (Save) Act, which would change the way US citizens register to vote. The purpose of the bill doesn’t seem to be to safeguard democracy but to help destroy it through stealth disenfranchisement.
…There Is The Option To NOT Vote, When You Were A Former Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party/Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ PARTY Voter, But Cannot Find A Political Left Party’s Candidate! After you experience the link I provided of ‘The Democracy Now’ segment, From George Floyd to Alex Pretti: “Copaganda” Author on Myths About Immigration, Crime & Policing, you will understand why I said the above!
As President Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, his son-in-law Jared Kushner presented his vision of turning the Gaza Strip into an upscale seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities. The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion, and Kushner’s presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones. This all comes as Palestinians in
This is the first-time I have posted a link post, so excuse if this could have done better. I had to post this, because my scared level* has jumped with experiencing this segment. Basically the expert guest, I trust, says, ‘The Crazy Don’ & EU going along with sick Gaza makeover & far too much more, surprised when he went after them, with Greenland, is about moving the world into Techno Feudalism, as if Capitalism is not bad enough! I really hate Royal Families, like I hate The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners (which Royal Families are in) of any kind & I have posted before about EU not doing enough to stop ‘The Crazy Don’ & it is movement to political Far Right-Nazis was greatly helped to start with by The USA Far Right’s spreader (like a deadly plague) Steve Bannon, & these Capitalist Dominated Neoliberal parties in The EU & The USA, I have also posted before about 5-Post WW II most powerful countries dominated UN needs to Democratically rebuilt, so that International Laws apply to more than just those countries that are NOT The 5-Post WW II most powerful countries.
I am not saying every single immigrant, within any ethnicity, but definitely in South Florida. it is bad enough that it is a dominate problem.
Yes, I am only fluent in The USA English, but I live in my country of birth, The USA.
& Yes, I do NOT think any organization should require any person to learn any language outside of the country they live-in.
With my Both Short & Long Term Memory & Language Processing Challenges learning a language is extremely hard, nearly impossible. Some say I need to learn The USA English language, LOL!
Sorry if this is not the right place but I was wondering if anyone has any pics or videos of people around Trump where they seem to be disgusted by his dirty diaper smell?
When they asked him about what the mayor would do, if ‘The Crazy Don’ would bring the federal army to The NYC, he never answered the question, because never gave any details. Even if the mayor has no forces of his own to protect the protesters & targets, because The NYC would rather work with the federal army, instead work with the mayor to protect the protesters & targets, the mayor should just told the truth. This is a big problem, his avoiding The NYC police problem & far, far & far too many cities police are bigger than the cities’ mayors. How can NYC (or any other city) be more livable, if the police are not dealt with?
Over on reddit, there’s a very active “EndFPTP” subreddit that I post to from time-to-time. It’s a place where people can discuss alternatives to “FPTP”, which is an initialism for “first-past-the-post voting”. There are other methods besides FPTP, such as “RCV” or “ranked-choice voting” promoted by FairVote. There are also many Condorcet methods, not to mention approval voting and STAR voting.
There are lots of reasons to dismantle ICE. There’s a functional argument: We do not need ICE to enforce immigration laws; the U.S. handled this just fine for 227 years prior to the creation of this specific agency. There’s a fiscal argument: ICE is now larger than every other federal law enforcement agency combined. It’s larger than the militaries of all but 15 countries in the world! It’s annual budget, $37.5 billion, could pay for the health insurance of every needy child in the country!
Last Wednesday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old American mother. Already, the federal investigation into the killing raises serious concerns, which is why the parallel investigation Minnesota officials are conducting is vital.
As President Trump threatens Iran, Venezuela, Mexico, Greenland and more, renowned historian Alfred McCoy says the United States is “an empire in decline,” following a predictable pattern of militarism abroad and political instability at home as it loses power and influence on the world stage. “American politics become increasingly contorted and irrational,” says McCoy. “I think the thing to do is to realize that we are an empire in decline, … and it will continue for another decade or two, until American power finally slips away.”
Given The USA’s ‘2025-‘2028 President ‘Crazy Don’ & his administration has not hidden this, why has Canada & EU or Individual Countries & UN any ACTION, starting with sending in any peace keeping troops in? I know, The EU probably has rules preventing this & I know The UN, under their BS rules that protect the 5-dominate countries, post WW II & surprise, surprise & surprise the 5 are still dominate, has structures preventing this. Now, is the time to ignore those rules-structures & rebuild The EU & The UN, afterwards, using TRULY DEMOCRATIC, COOP & SOCIALIST STRUCTURES!
The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party States Leaders’ Lack of Calling-Out Their National Guards (Let Alone The Rest of The Forces They have Control Over- Police & Etc.) to Deal with The USA’s ‘2025-‘2028 President ‘Crazy Don’s & His Administration’s Federal Army (ICE & Etc.) Arresting, Harming, Killing & Imprisoning People Living in The USA (Immigrants Or Not).
To publicly address people like Farron Cousins (the far-left Alex Jones imitator) and Mark Romano, I write to you not as a partisan, but as a British centrist tired of the rancor pouring from your broadcasts and writings. Your post-2024 election commentary has been punctuated by a tone of smug superiority and collective scorn, as if ordinary Americans must share blame for broad political problems. You seem to relish name-calling and sensationalism, treating every headline as an opportunity to beat people down instead of lifting citizens up. The country is weary of this approach, and many of us wonder when empathy or insight will begin to replace the vitriol.
Lies that go unopposed tend to stick, and the rewriting of the history of January 6 demonstrates that Trumpists will be relentless in making everyone repeat them, as they become part of a political loyalty test. Impeachment is one way of creating a truthful record.
Since Good got shot i saw a lot of call to protest and also a lot of call to violence. First while she definetly didnt deserve to die, she was in the wrong for goign after ice operators and bloking them.
I dont see any universe where the justice system doesnt take that in count and doesnt find ground for justifying the actions of the ice operative.
Taking that into account what are you hopping to accomplish with protest ( or with violence )
While you have different polls that will say majority of ppl disagree with ice actions you have to take into account that the majority still agree that undocumented immigrant should be deported.
So now what s gonna heppen ? What do u think you can obtain by mobilysing ?
Democratic Party leadership will not allow ICE or DHS to be disbanded. They serve the same wealthy individuals and corporations as the Republicans, and those factions need a paramilitary force to quell the inevitable uprising(s) that will result from the collapse of the American economy and constitutional order. It could not be more obvious that the role of the Democratic Party has been to act as a honeypot to attract and neutralize any progressive policies and politicians. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are not inept, they are accomplishing every goal they set out to. Joe Lieberman spearheaded the creation of DHS, and no matter what any Democrat or Republican says about “superseding authority”, understand that it is functioning exactly as intended.
I’m no lawyer, constitutional scholar, or political scientist. I don’t expect people here are either. But those people exist. It’s time to organize them and make a new constitution.
He does something illegal on a practically daily basis and everyone just kisses his ass. Now I guess he can just continue on and conquer the whole world and kidnap world leaders. Why doesn’t anyone stand up to this asshole?
A retired police officer convicted of murdering four people, including a man he tortured and strangled over stolen drug money, was sentenced Monday to four consecutive life terms in prison.
My guess is Friday the 19th of December. It fits the 30 day requirement by the legislation, it buries everything nicely for the Christmas holiday break, and it gives Bondi maximum time to scrub any mention of Trump, blowing and Bubba and classify them under national security.
This legitimately isn’t meant to be a gotcha question or an attack on any political ideology. I just want to get a better understanding of why class consciousness is only applicable to the left, and the concept of populism (while it does seem to be increasingly applied to both sides of the political spectrum in certain cases) seems to be reserved as a term used for the right.
American population seems to forget that the government works for them. You have the ability to message a congressman or woman requesting them act on your part to facilitate certain changes in society, to support or not support certain bills.
Remember how Democrats are the biggest supporters of free Palestine (hashtags) but they are super fanned up for Biden, the same person who sent bombs to his Israeli masters? Or that Trump did the same thing? Now they are mad at Trump because “TRIBALISM MENTALITY”
The picture shows a meme I posted about biden being a pedo vs trump being a pedo. Mine was disliked greatly and the other was like greatly. The people are obsessed with Orange man and are ignoring flaws in zombie man. Both are terrible
The person in question is an elderly aunt. She’s a decent, caring senior citizen and loves me very much, but she’s also a devout Christian (as is the rest of my extended family), and anyone familiar with that demographic will know how much they’re targeted by right-wing propaganda. At this point I can observe the state of the disinformation meta by the stuff she posts in our family group chat. Zionism, Christian homophobia, Islamophobia, the works.
You might have heard that with the government shut down, SNAP benefits for November (you might know them as “food stamps” though that’s not technically accurate anymore) are at risk:
So I’m trying to kick a bad doomscrolling habit I’ve developed around political news specifically. I’d like to find a balance between “constant low-grade desensitized misery from watching a burning world” (where I’m at now) and “ignorant bliss indifference interspersed with periodic shock followed by deep depression at how bad it’s gotten” (how I ended up when I tried to cut out the news completely in the past).
I was reminded today that Israel has space lasers. Why do they need to buy anyone else’s weapons? Shouldn’t they be selling their space lasers to the rest of us? /s (I hope that’s obvious)
This is a strange post, but I’ve noticed a strange shift in the last week or two. It felt like people are more tense, things are ratcheting up in different ways, and it’s hard to describe besides “the vibe is off.”
They’re readers and also like to watch YT quite a bit so I’m curious if anybody has any good suggestions on YT channels and/or books I can send them that’ll help ease them to the left. Even better if there are books and videos that specialize in converting Republicans to the left
A few days ago Third Way, a “centrist” think tank, published a memo with a list of 45 terms that they think Democrats should stop using. The terms, from “unhoused” to “pregnant people” and “LatinX,” largely originate with academics and activist interest groups and are, per Third Way, alienating to voters.
Trump is infact the man who won the popular vote in the US. Yet a majority of the mainstream is anti trump. His fascist tendencies are now influencing the media landscape. The liberal politics are overrepresented in media.
