“Saudi Arabia’s economic power rests on its vast oil reserves, and Mr. Trump has embraced a parallel approach — championing ‘drill, baby, drill’…”
Trump’s AI generated video of a casino-led Gaza Strip “is the embodiment of the shared Gulf state dream: autocratic technocapitalism in glitz and glass.”
Americans are by far too stupid and lazy, and hateful of each other and the world, to ever form equitable systems.

I am now a monthly ACLU donor. I haven't slept well since November. Society is much better, safer and more prosperous with civil rights, justice for everyone, inclusiveness, separation of religion and state, and public education. Without those, wealth and life quality for everyone degrades rapidly.

Please boost.
"....other countries keep asking why Americans aren't protesting, but we are & have been - the media isn't covering it...."
Protesters! Keep posting everything to social media. Over and over. Everyone, on every platform should be boosting it to help. Hopefully media from other countries will pick it up and we'll hear about it.
One thing I believe we have to ask ourselves is this: if a whole segment of the Democratic Party and its possible supporters get furious with 10 Democratic Senators, who benefits? #uspol #uspolitics #democrats
There has been a regularly scheduled #TeslaTakedown protest at the Tesla dealership in my town for the past few weeks. When I went a couple weeks ago there were about 100 people participating. Today I hear there were 400 people participating. I wonder if that’s also happening elsewhere.

Trump Protest in NYC!
Independent videojournalist Jon Farina is LIVE in New York City as protesters gather and march against Trump and Republicans cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and many more critical programs working people and the vulnerable depend on.
As part of the protest, demonstrators will stage a die-in right in front of Wall Street.

Update. Good advice from #MichaelIgnatieff, past President of the Central European University in Budapest and Vienna (2016-2021): "How a University Fights an Authoritarian Regime. Viktor #Orbán came for me. Donald #Trump is coming for you. Here’s what to do."

"You’re going to need an alliance that pulls together American families, employers, unions, companies, the whole network of people and institutions beyond your campus who understand that the universities of America are critical to everything that is good about the country: its commitment to freedom, its devotion to excellence, its leadership in science and medicine. This alliance is going to have to get political — to reach across red state and blue state, identify the members of Congress from both sides of the House who understand why universities matter to their communities, to the American economy, and to America’s deserved reputation for excellence. Don’t mince words. It’s too late to play nice. Call a spade a spade. Convince enough Americans that the administration’s strategy deserves only one name: vandalism."

Some #Democrats argue that it’s complicated; that the consequences of party solidarity regarding the recent vote on a ‘continuing resolution’ to keep the government open for business would not be, on balance, worthy of their opposition. Ten Democratic senators to be precise. I VIGOROUSLY DISAGREE! If we’re going to be a true OPPOSITION party, then we need to resist — at every turn, for as long as it takes. Resistance is built on solidarity. If our voters can’t trust us, count on us, to actively resist in a strategic and organized fashion, then we’re gonna lose them AGAIN. Just like we did in the last general election. As grass-roots activists, it’s up to us to insist on better leadership and demand solidarity. There must be a price to pay for centrist obstruction and betrayal. Let’s start with the rogue’s gallery below. #politics #USPol #USPolitics #betrayal #solidarity #DemocraticParty

And here it is, exactly what I feared. Getting rid of staff so they can install Trump's people.
Just today:
"Voice of America staff put on administrative leave"
"Full-time employees at Voice of America received an email this morning from human resources saying they have been placed on paid administrative leave, according to a copy of the memo that was obtained ABC News."

One more thing about the right of the public to know what government is doing.
Independent news media is crucial during the times we're living in. If we don't know what is happening, how can we be responsible citizens?
