@stux Damn snakes. First the false info about that apple. Now they turn out to be fascist.

A PSA: When people from Canada, Europe, or anywhere else say:"The #USA is our enemy!"then they are referring to the relentless hostility of the current US government. We _know_ that plenty of US citizens did not vote for any of this and are against the current government, and some are actively fighting against them.But plenty of US citizens _did_ vote for #Trump, and support him. And that means that we, in the rest of the world, cannot assume that individual US citizens are trustworthy until they can show that they have done the work.I mean, take me - I am a German! My country started two World Wars and the Holocaust! When confronted by people from the nations Germany has attacked, or ethnic groups which Germany has tried to exterminate, and they say:"I do not trust Germans!"then this is _entirely_ reasonable, and it is _not_ my job to personalize this and demand that they trust me! Instead, it is my job to work hard to make myself trustworthy, and to turn my country into a better place that can be trusted by more people.

"Today, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told CNN’s Jake Tapper: 'We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,' he said. 'These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.'”~ Heather Cox Richardson #Trump #Venezuela #StephenMiller #SpheresofInfluence #hemispheres #power #Putin #Xi /1https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-5-2026-monday

“The Wall Street Journal has dropped reporting that doesn’t just poke holes in Trump’s story—it documents an operational system inside Trump’s own business that sent young women directly into Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit. Not socially. Not accidentally. At work. At Trump’s club. Under Trump’s authority. …Trump trafficked women and young girls to Epstein and others out of Mar-A-Lago for years.”—Dean Blundellhttps://deanblundell.substack.com/p/the-wsj-blew-up-trumps-epstein-lieand#trump #epstein

"I go to a lot of tech conferences — 13 in 2025...the top non-tech topic for non-Americans involved the sweeping changes that have occurred since Donald J. Trump returned to office last January. The conversations generally ended with something like this: “I’m not taking a job or going to a conference in the United States.” Honestly, who can blame them?"https://www.computerworld.com/article/4110681/foreign-tech-workers-are-avoiding-travel-to-the-us.html#Tech #Technology #Politics #DonaldTrump #Trump #USPol #News #Press #US #USA #America

@stux Just some facts: According with The Insider, The population, The governor and The Ministry of Defense Saw nothing on that day. Zero report about more than 40(!) drones (?!).

@WillyECoyote69 Luckily not! Let's hope and see indeed

@raymaccarthy But a good leader must subdue their emotions in order to achieve their goals.I mean, look at Zelenskyy. He butters up to Trump because the fate of Ukraine depends on it. I don't think I could do that.

"Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is 'Domestic Terrorism'."https://reason.com/2025/12/26/justice-department-says-filming-immigration-raids-is-domestic-terrorism/This is the best evidence yet that the #Trump admin is turning the term "domestic terrorism" into an all-purpose pejorative for whatever it dislikes. Three quick legal notes:1. In the US, it is not a crime to video police making arrests, provided one does not interfere with their work. So said #SCOTUS in Glik v. Cunniffe (2011). 2. If an act is not already a crime, then even a high-level decision to call it "domestic terrorism" does not make it a crime. 3. Making an act a crime requires (constitutional) legislation. An executive diktat does not suffice in a country with no kings.#EmptySignifier #FloatingSignifier #Terrorism #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

@aurochs Handmade indeed That's pretty cool!

Btw, here is the 60 min interview that #Trump wanted from TVBuut yeah, fuck #MAGA and fuck #Trump even on Christmas! https://yeetube.com/watch/60-minutes-story-on-trump-deportees_AGmGVQreqMrDzk8.html

@pineappemilk They're alll terrible nowadays So many examples of how it's not done

@stux Always have...Pass me that packet of breakfast cereal, would you?

@FantasticalEconomics Maybe, but what will come next? I mean, even if the Democrats return to power, would they actually be willing to dismantle the tools of authoritarianism that Trump uses?Trump did not create ICE, after all, nor many of the other loopholes that enabled him - he merely supercharged them.
