I'm bashing the Democrats in Congress and the Senate, because they deserve bashing. They have consistently failed to meet the moment in responding to this lawless, autocratic, christofascist administration. Nothing but yelling this at them, loudly and continually, will get through to them.

Remember Chuck "We wrote a strongly worded letter" Schumer?

Remember Hakeem "I'm going to set the length record for filibustering in the House for no actual reason just for the publicity, but I won't filibuster any of the horrific bills the lickspittle, Trump-fellating Republicans keep passing" Jeffries?

The chances of Democrats growing a spine and refusing to fund the war when they fear being accused of "not supporting the troops" are ... not good.

But hey, my views are only informed by decades of observation and commentary about these extremely obvious and widely-known problems with the Democratic party.

"You can't criticize our side!" is 100% high-test bullshit.

Objections of the public, maybe.

The #ukgovernment is complicit in the #genocide and has taken #lobbying #bribes from the now out of control #autocratic #israel state

Somehow Israel has become the Nazi they fled

#starmer has been radicalised and has become degenerate
It is too late for him to repair his mistakes
Starmer must go
#westminster must clean up its mire

In Dumping in Dixie, Robert Bullard refers to "personal efficacy" regarding one's ability to confront environmental injustice. This has me thinking that a good #government maximizes this among its citizens, while corrupt #autocratic governments do the opposite. The #US is heading in the wrong direction. #environment #education #healthcare

Global human rights system is in peril

The year 2025 may come to be seen as a “tipping point” when #democratic institutions were severely damaged and #HumanRights suffered as a result, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).

It’s annual report, released on Wednesday, the New York-based non-profit warned that the reelection of US President Donald #Trump has emboldened #autocratic #regimes across the world, with devastating consequences for vulnerable groups and minorities.

For reasons that are quite possibly too unbearable to contemplate, a large group of American voters was not repulsed by such slander—they were actually aroused by it—& our #politics have not been the same. Much has been said, including by me, about Trump’s #narcissism, his #autocratic inclinations, his disconnection from #reality, but not nearly enough has been said about his fundamental #indecency, the characteristic that undergirds everything he says & does.

"The shift from collateral freedom to systems arbitrage changes what #internet #freedom tools need to do. Less emphasis on hiding within shared #infrastructure. More emphasis on exploiting specific coordination failures between systems.

It also changes the timeline. Collateral freedom worked until regimes reorganized their infrastructure. Systems arbitrage works until regimes coordinate their verification systems, which requires levels of mutual trust that currently don't exist between most #autocratic #governments. Russia doesn't trust China's identity systems. Iran doesn't fully accept either. Each maintains its own standards, its own bureaucracies, and its own technical implementations.

That lack of coordination is the new constraint to exploit. States and criminals figured this out long ago. The novelty is recognizing that the seam map now includes layers that didn't exist a decade ago, and that those layers create opportunities for people trying to move information across borders that would rather stay closed.

Whether this creates sustainable advantage depends on who adapts faster: the systems trying to close gaps, or the people trying to find new ones."

Oooh! Oooh!

Not for forage, or stammer now, either, failed to impress.
#autocratic mayhem, both.

The Wobbling of King Trump

At home and abroad, his autocratic approach is starting to run aground.

@elly

The #policestate of #britain is probably not as bad as many countries, but they do that here also.

Certain “crimes”, or even with some scumbag accusing an innocent of those crimes, can precipitate the heavy handed wrong arm of the law. They have even been known to bash in the door of the wrong house! Compensation? Hardly.

They target celebrities.

Bad #policing is directly related to the #autocratic attitude of the top levels of #ukgovernment.

#starmer must go
