#Trump, #Netanyahu, #Khamenei: 3 angry men who could get us killed

Whether inept, driven by survival or #corruption, they are unfit to lead, let alone make decisions that imperil the world

This was not inevitable. #Israel chose war. It could have prevented it. Talks were ongoing when attack began

Israel’s continuing, illegal, unjustified #airstrikes unlikely to achieve their aim

They must stop now as #Iran must halt its retaliation immediately

@paninid It is blowback. Given all the historical evidence that supports the #CIA and U.K. intelligence operatives advancing the growth of authoritarian regimes, is it not inevitable it has an interest in the U.S. becoming one? By working to raise the profits and enhance control of capital by the non-renewable interests of U.S. and U.K. transnational corporations, they have always been at war with civil rights. Corporate Sovereignty, not Republic Sovereignty has been sowing hell on Earth. It must be defeated, before the grim reaper gets its ecocide. There is still a chance to live long and prosper and secure the wellbeing and flourishing of an ethically sustainable morality. Choose the non-renewable death cults of a totalitarian world order or the democratic rights of diverse interests! #blowback #Authoritarian #dictators #TheFederation #EmpiresEnd #ecocide #FascistCults #WorldRevolution #FascistCultsHell #OligarchsEcocide #inequality #injustice #RubbleNations

@br00t4c "With Long at the helm, it becomes even more critical to stop Trump's disastrous tax bill that cuts critical programs Americans depend on, like Medicaid and SNAP, to fund massive tax giveaways for billionaires." If Putin gets a U.S. and even a U.K. civil war with Farage, he risks his own. The people with their backs against the wall have nothing to lose! #FascistCults #billionaires #MobRule #TaxBill #Genocide #Purges #Oligarchs #Plutocracy #Dictators

The New Dark Age; #Trump's #War on #Knowledge

By destroying knowledge #Trumpists seek to make the #US more amenable to their #political #domination, & prevent meaningful #democratic #checks on their behavior

Their victory would do more than that. It would annihilate some of the most effective systems for aggregating, accumulating, & applying human knowledge that ever existed

Without those, it could find itself plunged into a new Dark Age

@ThomHartmann
#Republicans tried to turn #HunterBidensLaptop into a "#ConstitutionalCrisis", claiming foreign gov'ts giving jobs to #HunterBiden were just attempts to influence FORMER VP NOT YET POTUS Joe #Biden, and being REIMBURSED BY HIS DIL a mere $40K was actually #China laundering a #bribe to a FORMER VP.

5 years later, #Dictators are #laundering MILLIONS DIRECTLY TO T**** via his #MemeCoin, gifting him a $400M "flying palace", and they say NOTHING.

Please address this #GOPHypocrisy.

While the current survivors of the ongoing #genocide in #Gaza face starvation, the #Gulf #Arab #leaders welcome Arancio Duce and his #nazi minions like #ElonMusk with open arms,luxury gifts and investment deals-not a single word about the suffering of #Palestinians.
Let that sink in - #dictators love each other.
And then you have people criticizing the #EU (27 countries), where #Ireland and #Spain advocate more for #Palestine than #SaudiArabia is ever going to.

Only one thing is going to stand in Trump's way — and he knows it | Opinion

by Thom Hartmann, April 28, 2025

"It didn’t happen in some shadowy back alley or under the cover of night.

"It happened in broad daylight — in the heart of an American courthouse.

"Federal agents, acting without even the decency of a signed warrant, stormed into Judge #HannahDugan’s courtroom on Friday morning and dragged her away like a common criminal. No warning. No legal process. No respect for the law she had spent a lifetime upholding.

"But they made sure the cameras were there, so America could see what they were doing. Because this was not about justice. This was about terror.

"This was a warning shot aimed directly at the beating heart of America’s judiciary: 'Fall in line — or you’re next.'

"In that moment, the world’s oldest democracy lurched closer to the edge of #AuthoritarianRule. In that moment, America became a little less free — and a lot more like the nightmare #VladimirPutin always hoped we’d become.

"The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan last Friday without even having a legal arrest #warrant; this is as outrageous and #PoliceState illegal as an administration can get.

"And #PamBondi’s performance Friday — after her federal agents swarm-raided this county judge — wasn’t staged for the general public.

"The real audience was a very small, select group: America’s judges.

"Their message is very simple: 'P--- us off, judges, and you could end up in prison, too.'

"Trump has already pacified the Article I branch of government — Congress — and now he’s in the process of pacifying the Article III branch, the Judiciary.

"There are only 3 branches to our government: cowing both Congress and the nation’s Judiciary will leave only the president in charge of the entire country under all circumstances in all ways.

"Nothing and nobody else will be able to stop him, short of a military coup (and he’s already decapitated the senior leadership of the military) or unending demonstrations in the streets (demonstrators who may soon face live ammunition).

"That is called dictatorship. Real dictatorship. Vladimir Putin-style dictatorship where you are punished for the smallest deviation from orthodoxy and can find yourself in #prison or sued into #bankruptcy if you dare speak out in public.

"It appears more and more every day that #Putin is Trump’s mentor, if not his handler. Trump is doing everything he can, with help from a South African billionaire, to destroy the historic American infrastructure (which has been an example for the world for 250 years) and turn us into the newest member of the #dictators club, joining Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Hungary, North Korea, and the rest of the #fascist and #authoritarian world.

"To get there, now that they’ve pacified every single Republican member of Congress (most recently, Don Bacon criticized Trump’s schizophrenic tariffs; a day later he started talking about retiring), they only have to seize control of the Judiciary, and then nothing except We The People will stand in their way.

"Nothing. Will. Stand. In. Trump’s. Way. Except We The People. And he knows it.

"Look at the striking parallels between Putin’s strategies and Trump’s actions:

"From installing Trump’s loyalists in the military and the federal police agencies of the Department of Justice and FBI, to his open threats against freedom of the press, to the GOP’s efforts to rig elections and purge voters, Trump’s subversion of US democracy looks eerily familiar.

"He’s taking pages directly from the autocrat’s handbook.

"Trump has openly quoted and praised autocrats like Putin and Hungarian strongman #ViktorOrbán, who has presented his leadership in speeches to the GOP and CPAC as a model of an '#illiberal' state.

"Trump’s not hiding his admiration for dictators; he’s flaunting it. And now he’s putting the final stages of their script into action.

"Trump’s movement toward authoritarianism follows 'a known playbook. It’s unfolded in many other countries,' as journalist Anne Applebaum notes. 'These are democratically elected leaders who characterize themselves or describe themselves as deserving of no opposition. So I am the true Hungarian, or I am the only real American.'

"In a mere matter of weeks into his presidency, Applebaum says, Trump and his allies “have managed to push America into that space somewhere between (no longer) democracy and full-scale autocracy.”

"The speed is shocking, but it shouldn’t be surprising. It only took #Hitler #53Days to completely end democracy in Germany. Others, like Lukashenko, Orbán, Putin, Mussolini, Duterte, El-Sisi, and Erdoğan took longer (none longer than two years), but you could argue that Trump has been working at this project for 9 years now."

Remembering Mussolini’s Fall : The Power of Resistance and the Toll of Autocratic Incompetence by Ruth Ben-Ghiat
For Italians, joining the Resistance reactivated codes of honor and humanitarianism that Fascism had scorned. partisan Ada Gobetti, whose husband had died in 1926 .., saw the Resistance as the recovery of a bond of solidarity, founded “on a simple human relationship, the feeling of being at one with many.”

I gave a speech at today’s Barcelona protest of Trump and authoritarianism.
I talked about the dire need for due process for everyone, and to stop snatching immigrants off the streets and trafficking them to a hard labor prison in El Salvador.
They may be coming for immigrants and trans people first, but they will come for you and you and you and me. We must defend all peoples’ rights.

@clintruin @emptywheel.bsky.social Since you asked, it is not yet curtains. Really really close, but not yet. It is true that the rule of #law is hanging on by a slender thread. It is true that #Congress is fully subverted. It is true that the institutions of federal government that provide essential services to us are being systematically erased. Very hard times are ahead.

But… I keep returning to the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence. #Patriots sacrificed, fought, died, and ultimately prevailed to achieve what it says. Please read the brief document (link below) because this is why I believe our situation not yet checkmate: the power of the people to consent or not.

“[…] when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute #Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

I have no idea how this will be done, or when, or how long it will take. Nevertheless, I place my ultimate #trust, my #hope, in the power, right and duty of people to choose.

“One thing that characterizes all #dictators: lack of fundamental humanity. Putin poison or defenestrates dissidents, throws Russians as cannon fodder in waves to die in UA. Xi sends Ms of Uighurs to conc camps. Kim tortures, executes his own with glee.

Trump sends an innocent & decent man to forced labor & torture in a Salvadoran prison & fights every effort to bring him back. That’s only one ex of the lack of humanity & decency. Behaving just like his role models.”
