1. We now Trump's strategy is going to be flan flames of racial hatred. No shocker there but the key is how to react. What we can expect is a Willie Horton a day amplification of the "Black people are a threat" & the media, even well meaning folks at @MSNBC will help amplify it.
2. While we are watching endless days of justifiable outrage that the recent shooting caused, note that the people these police are shooting are not civic leaders of the black community but people with checkered pasts who make great posters for the "fear the Blacks" GOP fascist
3. campaign. Trump will travel to the scene of one of his most recent crimes where his incitement clearly lead to a seven shot assassination attempt as part of the Trump-Koch fascist coup to end our democratic system and install a police state that serves the corporate
4. interests of Trump's donor base while feeding red meat to his evil knuckle dragging KKK base of mass murderers in waiting. And all the while we amplify the same message that Trump wants us to amplify and slowly but surely the monster is rising in the polls.
5. It's time for a little tough love. The only way we are going to deal with systemic racism is to elect @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. That's it. It's not complicated, and it won't change. If we lose, Black Americans will become a permanent underclass in Apartheid America. Win and
6. the Trump fascists including his police death squads will be going to prison to rot.
The BLM protest that @Kaepernick7 started has been transformative. It has reached across racial lines to garner broad support. But remember it was a peaceful protest. Trump is trying to
7. change that to become violent. He is going to fan the flames of hate in #Kenosha & it is all too tempting to take the bait. We need not just "good trouble" we need "smart trouble." Right now, for the next 64 days, the only focus should be on getting out the vote. Nothing else.
8. The news should be about the KKK member's son soiling our @WhiteHouse who allows thousands of Americans to die every month because he's an incompetent uneducated pig. We mourn for the families who have lost loved ones to Trump deaths squads. I cannot imagine the pain and
9. anger that comes with a police death squad assassination of a loved one. We should never lose sight of the harm being caused, but this is civil war and the only place the battle can be won is at the polls on Nov. 4. Make the deaths and misery mean something. End all street
10. protests in every city but DC. Yes I said it. I was against having protests in DC because I knew Trump and his GRU pals would use it and they did. But the bright lights of DC media made it bad for Trump who cowers in the bunker in an adult diaper while Americans he can hear
11. demand justice. So let evil pass over Kenosha. And begin a daily peoples' march to register voters for November in DC. Keep it peaceful and keep it loud. Fill the streets of DC daily with people who peacefully demand change. If we are attacked by Trump and Barr's death squads
Most of the world is making a very big and dangerous mistake about Julani and the HTS regime controlling Syria. He is a Jihadist. An ideologue who has apparently convinced several intelligence services that he will play ball. Perhaps the time he was in Iraq
involved some attempt to recruit him. It just doesn't work that way. He's al-Qaeda and he will never change.
I have for decades believed Hamas was victimizing Palestinians to advance Iran's and other malign actors' goals of maintaining constant conflict with Israel and the US.
I also believe that the manner in which Netanyahu has conducted the war in Gaza constitutes aggressive war and genocide both chargeable under the UN Genocide Convention. The criminal mishandling of the war in Gaza notwithstanding, Israel has a right to eliminate HTS from Syria.
If Trump abandons our Ukrainian allies and instead takes the side of a monster charged with crimes against humanity he risks being charged. His break with our allies means he can't rely on Rome Statute signatories violating their obligation to honor an ICC warrant if he travels.
If Trump finally woke up to the risks that he faces that John Robert's absurd immunity decision can't remedy, he will wisely leave Putin to his fate. With Trump hemorrhaging support within his base, he can't afford to look like a traitor, especially while he allows a drunken
popinjay to destroy our DOD and leak our secrets. Xi is calling out Trump's lies about talks demanding Trump face humiliation by terminating his China tariffs as a condition to talks. Ship sailings from China are down 60% meaning in just weeks US store shelves will be empty.
El Salvadore is a signatory of the Rome Treaty. Is Bukele conspiring with a non-member to violate Rome Statute? Could that be jurisdictional hook to permit @ICC to charge, Bukele, Trump, Vance, Noem, Steven Miller, Pam Bondi, @PressSec, Musk and creepy ICE guy?
SCOTUS 9-0 says Trump is breaking the law and the Constitution. But they don't have the power to force him to stop. If Trump and every Cabinet head involved gets an international arrest warrant if they don't resign, that might shut Trump down. Rome Statute:
The Kremlin continues to push a false narrative about Ukrainian forces remaining in the Kursk region when Ukraine fully withdrew over two weeks ago. It's possible a few reconisance units remain but even that is unlikely. So why the big lie?
My initial thought was Putin was trying to keep the Russian population engaged in his patriotic war to defend the Motherland, but I'm moving away from this propaganda motive to one of greater concern.
If the Project Owl data is accurate (and I believe it is) Putin may be preparing a spring offensive and the objective is Kyiv. Here is the current map showing all Ukrainian forces have withdrawn and have also left the border thinly defended
I've seen some recent posts that claim that Musk has used his Tesla shares as collateral in large loans to finance his other operations. If that is true, it's possible that Tesla share's slide has put him at risk of a default that could mean he loses everything in an instant.
I think Tesla is now domiciled in Texas and if that is so the lenders would likely have control agreements in place with Tesla that requires them to follow the lenders' instructions in the event of a default, What we need to know is, what are the loan covenants?
If there is a price floor that the lenders can call the loan or require additional collateral then, as Musk continues destroy the Tesla brand, that he has rebranded as a Nazi front, the price will slide to a point that shareholders begin to panic and sell to keep from being
The @GOP will collapse on itself when Trump reveals he's precisely who we thought he was: Putin's stooge and the enemy of democracy. Shun those who would cede US power and moral authority to a defeated degenerate Russian mass murderer.
First, everyone must cut the cord and destroy @FoxNews and the other propaganda organs the cable industry forces us to subsidize. Listen to @MSNBC on @tunein until the network is free from the burden of subsidizing the corporate enemies of democracy. Prepare to cut the cord.
@FoxNews @MSNBC @tunein A cheap antena gets most local stations. With their revenue in peril the cable industry will be forced to terminate Fox's and other propagandist subsidies we're forced to pay. If we don't have the will to perform these small acts of resistance, then we are already defeated.
