Krasnov is the American Liz Truss.

Will *he* last longer than a head of lettuce? The answer, unfortunately, is almost certainly yes. Because as stupid as the Westminster system (as used in both Canada and the UK) is, their system is somehow even worse.

#Trump is also decimating the #US #defense industry, as #EU countries are quickly developing technologies and equipment to fill the holes left by his desertion of our #NATO #OTAN allies.

(Example: Drones could be more important in modern warfare than bigger systems—and #Ukraine owns the absolute cutting edge of this technology.)

So what happens to Lockheed, Boeing, etc when their foreign customer base sees it can do without them?

"Never Again for Anyone”: 100 Jewish Activists Arrested at Trump Tower

Over 300 protesters with Jewish Voice for Peace demanded the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil.

They held banners reading “opposing fascism is a Jewish tradition.”

“I refuse to allow this administration to use our names as Jews to carry out a fascist agenda." It has far-right white supremacists that do the Nazi salute, & Trump is fine with that.

The Trump regime is now taking money directly from bank accounts after the DOGE team seized control of the American ACH system. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will steal money from political opponents. If anything were to lead to the mass secession of US states then this would be it. The US is about to collapse. #uspol #fascism #trump rollingstone.com/politics/poli

Analysis: There is "no military or political logic to the US attacks" on Yemen's Houthis

The US attacked after the Houthis threatened to resume attacks on Israel-linked ships over Israel's blockade of Gaza.

While "the danger to shipping in the Red Sea is a justifiable reason for concern", it could be resolved diplomatically ~Nabeel Khoury, fmr US diplomat

Analysis: "On the Precipice of Darkness: Normalizing genocide & the new world order"

"Shooting unarmed people is not bravery. It is not courage. It is not even war. It is a crime. It is murder.

"And Israel runs an open-air shooting gallery in Gaza & the West Bank as we did in Iraq & Afghanistan.

"Total impunity. Murder as sport."

Oh, thank God, #EdMarkey and #ElizabethWarren both voted against cloture for the continuing resolution.
I mean, it didn't help in the end because #ChuckSchumer is a #FecklessCoward who sold us out to the #GOP, but I can be _slightly_ less angry at my two senators for at least the next few days.
P.S. If you live in NV, IL, PA, NY, NH, MI, or HI, you should be VERY mad at one or both of your Dem senators. Find the group that's working on primarying them and volunteer.

Analysis: "Trump Invokes 1798 Wartime Law that Paved the Way for Japanese Internment"

"The repugnant law, known as the Alien Enemies Act, will allow Trump to detain and deport noncitizens without due process."

"You read that right: Trump plans to use a wartime authority from over two centuries ago to help carry out his dangerous anti-immigrant plan in a time of peace."

Judge Boasberg said the immigrants clearly face irreparable harm, “given that these folks will be deported & many or the vast majority to prisons in other countries or sent back to #Venezuela, where they face persecution, or worse.”

“This is something that you need to make sure is complied with immediately,” he told the #DOJ.

Continued thread

US District Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge in DC, quickly blocked ofcls from deporting Venezuelans under the proclamation after #CivilRights groups filed a challenge earlier Sat. As he issued his ruling, the judge said he heard that “flights are actively departing” & ordered the #Trump admin to immediately halt the removals & return to the #UnitedStates any flights that are in the air.
