led crowds in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF” [The BBC said:] “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable … " [Starmer said:] “appalling hate speech.”

“Free Palestine” is not antisemitic. Criticism of a nation state’s armed forces is not antisemitic. Especially when those armed forces are objectively committing genocide.

That’s him, the one whose stated goals can be seen in every move the trump regime makes.

A lot of people do seem to think “bush looks good in comparison to trump”, ignoring the fact that the open corruption and rejection of reality under bush was an earlier iteration of our current fascist coup, an important stage in that same process.

Obama openly refusing to enforce the law against those bush era criminals (“I’m looking forward not backward”) was another important step towards fascism.

It’s worth remembering the bush era’s invade the hague act, committing the US to a military attack on the ICC if they prosecute any US personnel for the many war crimes we committed in full view of the world.

Sanctioning judges for acting on an allies’ war crimes is new, sure. But the US is an old hand at spitting in the face of international law to protect mass murderers from justice.

A substantial portion of the anthropocene extinction event is the Monsanto extinction event.

Domestic violence is within a family, especially spouses, femicide is “when women and girls are killed because of their gender”, to quote the article.

Prosecuting and jailing fascists for the crimes they commit is a requirement for fighting fascism. Here in the US I’m just not convinced yet that Dems are willing to break the taboo on jailing the rich.

Australia has compulsory voting, parties with only minority support can’t win by suppressing turnout.

AI or bot account, looks like.

as a teenager he was associated with terrorists.

As a teenager he was the head of the youth wing of a group the israeli government deemed terrorists.

a statement about a Christian politician, and like a day later he was killed.

He personally held up yitzhak rabin’s car hood ornament at a press conference and said “we can get to your car, we can get to you” shortly before the then prime minister was assassinated by a fellow far right israeli.

Ben Gvir is a lifelong, on-the-record proponent of genocide who was officially labelled a terrorist by israel and almost certainly helped kill yitzhak rabin and end the peace process.

Destroying the transatlantic alliance is probably the main goal of putin’s US regime.

Embolden the UK’s right wing parties who are largely putinists or deliver yet another blow to transatlantic relations. Yet another example of trump delivering a win-win for putin that’s a lose-lose for the US.

*Putin says

Furthering putin’s major policy goals is the main responsibility this regime has. Trump’s personal grudges and feelings are irrelevant in any area as important to putin as demanding ukraine’s surrender.

Most events have multiple influencing causes. But in a hierarchy when the boss wants something, that’s why it happens.

This has nothing to do with obama or peace prizes.

Trump is an agent of putin’s will and he’s carrying out russia’s foreign policy by demanding the full surrender of ukraine.

the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man

This is false, unless the “old man” is putin. Attributing policy to trump is like blaming a car crash on the hood ornament.

US foreign policy under the current fascist regime is laser focused on destroying the core alliances of american power. Trump is far too senile to stay on goal like that and he was never smart enough for strategic planning.

Pete Hegseth Putin tells NATO…

Its very possible to enrich corrupt elites without taking an axe to the US’s strategic position. That would be preferable for securing the wealth of the ruling class in the future.

Of course they want to make the rich richer, but this level of systemic destruction isn’t the most efficient way to do that. The damage is clearly part of the goal.

Part of me thinks this is so they have an easy way to drop prices after people get used to everything costing more, but I’m sure it’s mostly just trying to destroy the the US’s relationship with it’s most important allies.

Well google maps can fuck right off, the cowards. What are everyone’s recommendations for alternatives?

Putin hired him to start pointless nonsensical arguments with our nearest and most vital allies and that’s what he’s gonna do.
