Ihre Grausamkeit und die unsere
"Am 8. März entführte die Trump-Regierung in den USA den Palästinenser #MahmoudKhalil .
Beamte des Department of Homeland Security nahmen den Studenten auf dem Campus der Columbia University fest, fixierten ihn in Handschellen und fuhren ihn mit einem nicht gekennzeichneten Auto fort. Gegen Khalil, der ein dauerhaftes Aufenthaltsrecht hat, liegt keine Anklage vor, die Beamten hatten auch keinen Haftbefehl.
(...)
Gruselig, was der #Trump da wieder macht. So oder so ähnlich lauten die Reaktionen in #Deutschland, wenn die US-Regierung täglich aufs Neue ihre Verachtung der Freiheitsrechte der Verfassung demonstriert. Gut, dass wir in Deutschland noch nicht so weit sind, dass die #AfD hier noch nicht an der Regierung ist.
Aber braucht es dafür überhaupt die AfD? Am selben Tag, als Mahmoud Khalil in New York gekidnappt wurde, stellten Politiker:innen von Union und SPD in Berlin ihr Sondierungspapier für die Koalitionsverhandlungen vor. Darin steht, man wolle prüfen, ob man „Terrorunterstützern, Antisemiten und Extremisten“ die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft entziehen könne, so sie denn eine weitere besitzen."

Tödliche Doppelstandards: Ist Genozid eine rote Linie oder ein verzeihlicher Fehler?
"Und dann ist da noch die Frage des anhaltenden Genozid. Ich wünschte, wir könnten einen Scheinwerfer auf diese Progressiven richten und sie fragen: Ist Genozid für dich keine rote Linie? Glaubst du wirklich, dass die politische Linke in Nordamerika oder Europa, wenn sie an der Macht wäre, Israels Genozid an den Palästinenser:innen nicht ermöglicht oder unterstützt hätte?
Kürzlich habe ich gesehen, wie ein weiterer progressiver Politiker mit einer großen Plattform sagte, dass Trumps andauernde Horrorshow ein Beweis dafür sei, dass wir alle mehr hätten tun sollen, um Kamala Harris zu wählen. Diese Art von historischer Amnesie, ob sie nun das Ergebnis von absichtlicher Manipulation oder panischer Kurzsichtigkeit ist, bereitet mir Bauchschmerzen. Ich möchte kurz erklären, warum.
Wir können nicht für das kleinere Übel plädieren, wenn der Unterschied zwischen den beiden Übeln nicht zum Überleben ausreicht...."

@TCatInReality yes, and it's only a matter of time till Governments around the world see #GOP / #MAGA / #Trump fans as a "risk to public safety" if not their own "#NatSec"!
Inspired by "Free School" movement in the 60's & 70's... I practice educational living and learning life together towards #DIY / #Caring / #Art of #Life etc: in whatever way that suits and directs the individual.
More on that 60/70's movement here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Text and short-depth understanding isn't doing it for saving humanity. So learning and your own action / direction is important. To get better examples that lies parents were fed or chose not to face.
#FreeSchool (me) makes #Notes #Quotes about #METAPolitics / #Politics and #Cares for people good #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites
That's my life in a few keyword sentences.

OFFERS TO FEDIVERSE...
===================
☼ MY OFFERS OF FREE TIME ☼
>> GIVEN TOWARDS FREEDOM <<<
FREE WORK editing text, pictures, audio, basic video editing. Basically anything considered. Just say it.
Audio #remixes also found on #FreeSchool hashtag to help keep you working well!
MORE.... OR JUST RESPOND TO ABOVE PLEASE...
I feel like Short-text / Short-reading by people directly undervalues people and longer understanding - it's cutting corners reading only short things and proportionally killing the planet / cutting people who write more off.
That's why I'd like to do audio conversation now... (anytime) so we don't get stuck in the text realm either and just speak lightly in the ethereal / spirit of life.
People are the depth and action of the culture so if text is not deep enough then culture dies. Audio conversation I have can put back the reality into people.
Just sticking to yourself dosn't work. We can solve almost everything as our efforts can double if we are relaxed but do it constantly over tiem... it's OK "it's all political" (!) and our opinions too... so letting go too far into "Politics" of "Leaders" is not the way we want to go... as a #centralised system (of control)
Your decisions can be made and changed doing short depth + short depth (=long!) which can reinforce those bad things less by seeing the depth in tricks (like chess it's "aha! I realise why they made that move now") .
Don't let "Short-ism" make you think it works for you (it's the opposite). Communicate more and build normal people up. - Increase more #sense and #society but socialising incrementally like at a party.
The 'human condition' needs A HUMAN WAY OF FIXING THINGS in a social-communal situation... not a ultra-tech way.
We have #Mastodon and #Jitsi etc - we just need to increase trust step by step and measure ourselves as we go.
🙎 Develop people, not just the tech! 💻 ✈️ 📱
I'm working with anyone aligned / those that know themselves or want to as it's a natural human thing we need to solve (not just tech etc).
Get in touch and even have fun with it all!
==============================
More description
==============================
The Free School movement I feel is "the best way" for people as a transient flexible "school" of fish / people in life because it's YOUR way and your likes mixed in however you want guided by others in the same class or other t give another perspective..
As long as you trust yourself and trust a few others more while measuring while mixing, then it's all good and essential can't be bad - especially from these distances.
Opposite of the above would be: working isolated in a loop... without encouraging contact ...working for bad people / state
...while not giving back or seeing what others have to give
...and reading the news in a bad loop #doomscrolling as I do (and need your help to get out of!) ... only to complain about my adding to it.
So feeding yourself better comes building others in trust and people upwards not downwards pushing. Therefore:
Mutuality, Education, and maybe Friendship can help 🎈 WIN:WIN:WIN 🎈 for us all in this world ...or at least #Fediverse to start with.
📖 Towards a more caring intelligent planet and better mindset of people... but also not over-specialising...
I'm here to broaden your like as a friendly person and to encourage your own thoughts *and* action to happen.
We need to be appreciated and appreciate a few more - that alone is enough!
More togetherness means more ☑️ correct communication ☑️
to get there (and balance)...
Short "ism" or short reading by people kills the planet and those people don't read deeply and fall into newspaper tabloid headlines (also short) and reacting too much almost as an #addiction.
#CONSTRUCT YOUR #DREAMS !
Build your dream(s) and maybe mine at the same time (both!).
Don't be afraid to share - even though it might be natural to try pull back. I don't think there is another way around this by carefully sharing and doing it with bad people filtered out (but not everyone filtered out as we all lose that way being cut off) .
Aagain measuring me and you (and others) we can avoid killing ourselves and others killing us (directly and indirectly) for profit (it's all linked back to banks and state who as root don't #care). So while we pretend to be '#independent' (which doesn't exist or very lightly does) I think we can truly undo things 1 at a time or just by not using things too much like #AI etc.
Those who feed from #mainstream (from the people behind it) surely will mess up again and see less and less gains over time). Short-term some AI benefit but long term chained-to-machine type stuff and robots judging us (robots are just people / leaders behind it controlling..)
🗨️ I reply to your interests and you give some ideas... we do what we can and like... more freely / towards each other's freedoms.
Consider *developing people* (or just me) at the same time in your work also - not just #developing machine code, but #decent people are the KEY to everything almost FOREMOST...
If people's lives are machine-like and computer-orientated then don't complain if that's what you get !
The cold Matrix system is all using $computers and #tech.
And that tech is being bought or regulated by the likes of #Musk / #Trump / #Bezos etc mostly since they have more leverage against everyone and using #banks also as negative force / debt generators.
In the end we lose with only tech, even with Mastodon without regular chats!
(yes computers are too fast and even nice things get used badly but only we can stop it (by developing better people to use better things in a better way). Give me a hammer and I won't break windows.
Working on better people is the better way at the end..

"Trump is the reactor core of America's escalating political violence. You should not pretend otherwise. ...
Political violence, and the threat of such, are now the primary mode of communication of this regime that spent the week before Kirk’s murder bragging about shooting a small civilian boat in the Caribbean that had apparently turned back to avoid the menace America has become."

"As right-wing figures move to blame Kirk’s assassination on “the left,” we’re witnessing the same dishonest attribution pattern that has defined their response to political violence for years. ...
When only violence from the left counts as political violence, when only progressive rhetoric gets treated as incitement, when only liberal politicians get held responsible for individual extremists—"
~ Mike Brock
(continued from /10)
"you’ve created a framework where authoritarian crackdowns become necessary responses to terrorism that somehow never applies to actual right-wing terrorism. …
This pattern repeats throughout history whenever democratic institutions come under authoritarian assault. Individual acts of violence get amplified into evidence of systematic threats requiring extraordinary responses.
"Fascists do civil violence better than civic democrats. It’s a foundational element of their political philosophy. It’s the verdict of logic and history."

"And that means doing the distressingly difficult work of persuading Americans to reject demagogues who relentlessly hunt for scapegoats."
"• The man who targeted and killed Democratic state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in their home in Minnesota in June was a Trump supporter.
• The man charged with the attempted assassination of Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, in April was a Trump supporter."
~ Mehdi Hasan
"• The man convicted of orchestrating a series of hootings at the homes of four Democratic elected officials in New Mexico in 2022 was a Trump supporter.
• The man who tried to kidnap then Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband, Paul, in 2022 was a Trump supporter.
• The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6, 2021, were Trump supporters."
"• The man who killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas in 2020 was a Trump supporter.
• The men who were convicted of trying to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, in 2020 were Trump supporters.
• The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and other top Democrats in 2018 was a Trump supporter."
"• The man who killed left-wing activist Heather Heyer after driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville in 2017 was a Trump supporter.
There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks against Republicans or conservatives in recent years."

@forthy42 @PaulaToThePeople I never told people that #Biden would be a saviour,so stop making that shit up!
All I said is that as of now #VoteBlue isn't just a "#LesserEvil" but a "#NecessaryEvil"!
If you really believe that bs then please kindly fuck off because I do intent to outlive #LateStaeCapitalism by all means necessary and sadly that's not gonna fly with the orange tyrant in power.
Yes OFC I wished we'd see #BernieSanders and #AOC instead on the roll, but sadly in the #AmericanOligarchy., the #SuperPAC|s and #BigDonors decide who can even candidate because it's a cleptocracy.
One can #vote for Biden whilst being a public #opposition on the streets, but you can't vote for Trump without inherently having the right to oppose him being stripped by him - as he already publicly stated as his intention!
I don't tell you what to think, I'll merely tell you how things are going to pan out exactly:
OR
I'll end this right here because at this point everything has been said and the sheer fact that #USpol is going to to impact my life against my consent despite being neither citizen nor resident nor eligible to vote is alteady nerve-wrecking and I think #defaitistic #FUD like yours isn't gonna help the situation anyway...
@leeloo @Photo55 on the other side, people were stupid enough to believe that #Trump, who's past VP #Pence was a guest at #CUFI, wasn't gonna support #Israel conditionlessly, which is beibg played by #Evangelical #Christofacists ¹²
Needless to say #Sanders / #AOC should've been the #DEM|s nominations instead of #Harris / #Biden / #Waltz, but the former pissed off #BigDonors aka. #SuperPACs so they got #cockblocked!
I guess "tragic" depends on whose ox is being gored. Didn't Donald Trump say of Ghislaine Maxwell, "I wish her well."
One sexual predator to another.

#Trump&Epstein #Political #Violence
#Europe leaders, who have been trying to persuade #Trump to join them in tightening sanctions on #Russia & boosting support for Kyiv, said it justified a collective response.
#Poland said 19 objects entered its airspace during a large Russian air attack on #Ukraine, & that it had shot down those that posed a threat. Tusk called the incident a "large-scale provocation" & said he had activated #Article4 of #NATO's treaty, under which alliance members can demand consultations with their #allies.
They could use 'abused' instead of 'F***ed' or 'Raped'.
But using 'Dated' here is adding a layer of innocence that goes towards complicity in hiding the severity of what happened.
We're not suggesting you raped anyone 'Petie', we are all very aware you were not interested in his 'vice', it's the fact all the rape didn't bother you at all about him.
That's just fucked up and you're a creep for it, ...it's not normal.
Simon Rosenberg comments on Russia's drone invasion of Polish air space:
"Trump’s outrageous, traitorous appeasement of Putin has brought what appeasement, servility, and weakness always does - escalation and danger. ... Our adversaries have been emboldened by Trump’s idiocy, buffoonery, cowardice, greed and self-sabotage - as they should be."

Why has Putin chosen this moment to make aggressive advances on Poland? Julie Roginsky notes,
"Almost as soon as Trump was back in the White House, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told European leaders that the United States was no longer 'primarily focused' on European security and that Ukraine was largely Europe’s problem."

"So it stands to reason that just as the Trump Administration was making good on its promise to cut Europe off, Putin chose this week to test NATO’s resolve. ...
The only outstanding question — the outstanding question — is what Trump intends to do. This should raise serious concerns about what exactly he and Putin discussed in their secret, ten minute one-on-one chat at their Alaska summit last month."
"Russia’s aggressive move also follows the U.S.’s illegal attack upon an unarmed civilian vessel off the coast of Venezuela, which the U.S. military destroyed on unproven assertions that it was ferrying drugs some 1200 kilometers to the U.S. Such a blatant, lawless action signals to the rest of the world, including the Kremlin, that international rules and laws can be disregarded with impunity."
~ Jay Kuo
"As of this morning, Donald Trump has said . . . nothing.
So Putin is attacking and Trump is retreating. That red carpet in Anchorage seems not to have made much of an impression. Or perhaps Putin understood the gesture for what it was: The red carpet was a kind of white flag, a signal of submission and supplication."
~ William Kristol
"Director Kash Patel indicated directly to one of the ousted agents, Brian Driscoll, that he knew the firings were “likely illegal” but was powerless to stop them because the White House and the Justice Department were determined to remove all agents who helped investigate President Donald Trump. It quotes Patel as having told Driscoll in a conversation last month 'the FBI tried to put the president in jail and he hasn’t forgotten it.' ”

The rulings of the Supreme Court are eroding the legitimacy that Americans once felt for their government.
In this article about a failed ICE action:
"We are standing firm for what the Constitution actually says at this point, not what our Supreme Court is saying it means, because I am watching the erosion of the rule of law every single day.”
The rulings of the Supreme Court seem to be leading the USA into civil war.
Trump looks extremely weak as he can't even control his closest ally (Israel) that is completely dependent on him. Israel bombed Qatar where the US has a large military base, Israel can not have bombed without explicit permission of the US unless the US defense of Qatar is totally inadequate. So Trump was forced by Netanyahu which is absurd if you think about the fact that Israel can't survive without US military assistance.

'The emergency stay open order will likely increase costs for electricity users.
Because the order came down just a day before the plant was to retire, Constellation Energy had to abruptly order an enormous amount of fuel and tackle deferred maintenance it never expected to deal with.
This is an unprecedented use of #Trump's authority, and it’s done in a way that doesn’t make sense even on its own face.”'
Today in #Trump Day 232, the valuable overview by Kirsten #Verdel.
Of course, Trump says that domestic violence is not a crime.
All activities that he has either been accused of or convicted of appear eventually on the list of:
a) no longer being a crime
b) perpetrators being released.
This goes from domestic #violence to #crypto scams to #racist acts by landlords and company owners to convicted #pedophiles and #scamming customers.
Update. The Union of Concerned Scientists (#UCS, @ucsusa) just released its critique of the #DOE #climate report.
https://ucs-documents.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/global-warming/comments-doe-climate-working-group-report.pdf
Summary: "(1) The DOE report perpetuates outright falsehoods. (2) The DOE report cherry-picks text, data, and studies that paint an incomplete picture. (3) The DOE report employs deceptive framing to downplay climate change harms. (4) The DOE report was drafted via an improper process."
