I could only bear to watch so much of this cringeworthy, spineless, groveling performance. I hope Irish me holes come pre-lubed because he’s going to be very sore in the morning otherwise.

The aftermath of the Milei's regime brutal crackdown on old retirees protesting insane pension cuts
They knew what would happen and still they marched anyway.
"The operation was very violent. So far, we've recorded more than 60 arbitrary arrests. A boy and a girl were hit by tear gas. A photographer is currently undergoing surgery for a skull fracture. An 87-year-old retired woman, Beatriz, suffered trauma."
Round of applause for "Everyone Hates Elon," the group in the UK behind all those hilarious anti-Musk/Tesla ads on the London Tube and bus stops.
"We’re spread around the U.K. … There’s just a handful of us, a very small group of friends... And at the beginning of this year, we saw Elon Musk sticking his oar in and demanding new elections in the U.K., campaigning to free Tommy Robinson from prison. We just got really angry about it."
#Trump Officials Are ‘Pretending’ a Judge Didn’t Bar His #AntiDiversity Orders
A judge blocked the administration from forcing organizations to accept anti-diversity contract terms. Trump officials haven’t let them know
By Asawin Suebsaeng, Andrew Perez

"Last month, a federal judge issued an injunction blocking President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing multiple executive orders designed to purge the government of anything related to diversity — including an order to prohibit contractors and grant recipients from doing literally anything to promote the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion (#DEI) within their organizations.
"Trump’s Justice Department decided the fairly broad injunction only covered certain agencies. This month, certain parts of the administration, including the U.S. State Department, continued attempting to force this provision on contractors and grant recipients, threatening their funding if they failed to sign it, according to three knowledgeable sources in and outside of government. Rolling Stone has also reviewed documentation supporting these accounts.
"After the judge clarified on Monday that his injunction does, indeed, bar the whole federal government from enforcing Trump’s anti-diversity orders, the administration hasn’t bothered to inform various nonprofits and grant recipients they do not currently have to comply with the president’s orders, according to two of the sources. The new contract terms the Trump administration attempted to foist on these organizations and recipients remain on their desks, with the threats about failure to sign still dangling over them.
"'We haven’t even received a generic email about the judicial ruling,' says one senior executive at an international nonprofit and longstanding implementing partner with the U.S. government. ' They are just pretending it didn’t happen, it seems.'
"The episode is part of a broader pattern in which the second Trump administration has operated under the impression that judges’ orders and rulings don’t much matter. Vice President J.D. Vance has publicly argued that Trump can ignore judges’ orders, asserting: 'Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.' Trump, for his part, has threatened to 'look at' judges who rule against Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Over Presidents Day weekend, Trump admitted he thinks he can break any law he wants to — so long as he can loosely define doing so as part of his mission to ' save' the country.'"

At this point every other country in the world should be working together to figure out exactly how catastrophically we can fuck the United States over by banding together because the only way this malodorous playground bully is going to learn his lesson is if he gets a beating he doesn’t soon forget. Anything less and we’ll all be living under the yoke of this douchebag and his cronies before we know it.

A guest essay by Laurie Winer.
'It's as if the so-called shock and awe of that unholy duo—Donald Trump and Elon Musk—combined with loyalists like Kash Patel, Stephen Miller, Dan Bongino, Ed Martin, and many others, has rendered us, for the moment at least, unable to react.'

Now we know who to read to get the truth on Israel
Report: "Israeli police again raid the Education Bookstore in East Jerusalem".
They confiscated books "by Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappé & Rashid Khalidi, among others."
Previously police arrested the owners, accusing them of selling books that incited terrorism, including a children’s colouring book entitled "From the Jordan to the Sea."

I have rarely seen a characterisation as apt as this one:
“Fascism is a fire. Its fuel is the othering of minority groups; its oxygen is fear.”

Act 1 was threatening Canadian Sovereignty.
Act 2 is threatening the EU’s viability.

@juergen_hubert the #us has a historical playbook how to resist #fascism, so there is no excuse not to
@glynmoody
As people often say around these parts, #fascism is the existence of an in-group whom the law protects but does not bind and an out-group whom the law binds but does not protect. The article demonstrates this division admirably.
