Blue MAGAt copy of Twitter has increased it's pressure on anti genocide accounts, from shaddow ban, to limiting audience, removing posts and prevent is from sharing information about those hasbara trolls that are about half the accounts posting pro Israeli comments and attacks.
Today, they made all my lists private before DELETING my main list with over 700 bots and IDF accounts.

At this point, I have to assume the only reason we have guns in this country is for mass shootings because it definitely isn’t for fighting tyranny.

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”

ABC7: Tiktoker arrested by federal agents while live streaming to thousands in downtown LA
"..."The reason she didn't come out is, these are, these are masked men, and they said they had a warrant. She just wanted them to display it, 'Show me the warrant,' and they never displayed anything," her attorney, Carlos Jurado, said...."We believe, at this point, based on things that have been said to her, is that, because she was out filming ICE activities, she was targeted," Jurado said.

"Inside ‘the new American fascism’
Katherine Stewart explores the strange alliance seeking to impose its antidemocratic vision on the US—one Moms for Liberty meeting at a time.
Katherine Stewart is a veteran chronicler of evangelicals in politics. Her first book examined the *Good News Club*, an organization that sought to hold Bible studies in public elementary schools to expose children to an evangelical worldview. Her next book, *The Power Worshippers*, traced the role of evangelical Christians in Donald Trump’s rise. In *Money, Lies, and God*, she explores the strange alliance seeking to impose an antidemocratic economic and moral vision on the United States.

"Inside ‘the new American fascism’
Katherine Stewart explores the strange alliance seeking to impose its antidemocratic vision on the US—one Moms for Liberty meeting at a time.

Her next book, *The Power Worshippers*, traced the role of evangelical Christians in Donald Trump’s rise. In *Money, Lies, and God*, she explores the strange alliance seeking to impose an antidemocratic economic and moral vision on the United States.
Stewart argues that this movement, which she calls 'the new American fascism,' has multiple factions, including socially conservative evangelical Christians and ultra-wealthy individuals seeking government deregulation and the privatization of public services in order to amass more wealth with which to influence politics. These two groups haven’t always worked together. Evangelical activism used to focus more narrowly on cultural issues such as school prayer, restricting abortion access, and fighting against gay and lesbian rights. But the more attention they gave economic policy, the more wealthy allies they gained—allies who, thanks to runaway inequality, have deeper and deeper pockets.
Billionaires—including the Koch brothers, the DeVos family in Michigan, and Richard Uihlen, chair of the Bradley Foundation in Wisconsin—contribute massively to conservative political organizations, and some, such as Betsy DeVos (who is both a billionaire and an evangelical), have been elevated to influential government positions."

It's just so refreshing to hear the truth about Labour today said, and the truth about our coward Prime Minister, the liar.

A Utah Symphony violinist snatched by ICE
I just finished reading this book giving a unique European perspective on our American nightmare. It’s highly readable and interesting.
“Donald Trump: In the Footsteps of Adolph Hitler” draws chilling, well-researched comparisons, noting both men launched coup attempts, were guilty of tax evasion, lied incessantly, were racists who stoked political violence, and craved total power. Written in 2024 before the election, the detailed look at Project 2025 is an exact depiction of what Trump is unleashing on America and the world today.
“It is scary, almost beyond imagination, that a description of Adolf Hitler fits so perfectly with Donald Trump…”
“… Trump adopted a strategy reminiscent of Hitler’s and Goebbels’s: repeated lying to convince people to believe falsehoods.”
“ Like Hitler, Trump is a narcissist who embraces conspiracy theories…constantly seeking admiration to bolster his grandiose self image.”

"Good people don't wish death on anyone"
THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS
Here are some heroes of the WWII Dutch resistance reacting to the news of Hitler's death.
Fortunately, they were at least spared useless people scolding them on social media.

"Trump’s strategy is always to overwhelm and even horrify people, in hopes that it will be too much. That they’ll decide to unplug because they just can’t deal with the constant deluge. Saturday, he 'retruthed' this image, which, as many commenters noted, appears to have him holding a 'Q+' sign in the palm of his hand. 'Nothing can stop what is coming.'”
