When the physicists need burner phones, that’s when you know America’s changed

>>At international academic conferences recently, one sees an interesting trend. Some American participants are travelling with “burner” phones or have minimalist laptops running browsers and not much else. In other words, they are equipped with the same kind of kit that security-conscious people used to bring 15 years ago when travelling to China.<<

And so, here we are #canada #cdnpoli

A version of this @ #globeandmail

“What’s the probability of this kind of scenario? Ten per cent, 5 per cent, or 1 per cent? No one can say for sure. But it’s certainly not zero. And given the existential cost to Canada, we’d be stupid not to take it seriously. In game-theory terms, we need to pursue a strategy of “minimax regret” – to minimize, as best we can, the possibility of worst-case outcomes.”

Fascism defined - Tommy Douglas

"Let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt - it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."

Trump has deleted mentions of the Holocaust from the Pentagon’s websites. I don’t see how this makes America great nor how this makes America pro-Jewish or pro-Israeli.

With #MAGA #antivax morons like #RFKJr in power in the #USA we have people dying of measles, soon polio, then what?

Consumption? Dropsy? Goiter?

What long defeated #health scourges in the #US will make comeback?

Is it going to be like that old game "#Oregon Trail"?:

"You have died of #dysentery"?

Pokud tohle není absolutní důvod zastavit veškerý nákupy #F35 i za cenu nějakých dalších sankcí, tak nevim, co by ten důvod být mělo.

#USA blokuje funkce #F16, které používá #Ukrajina .. co jim zabrání udělat to s našima podstatně softwarovějšíma F35?

Middle-class white Americans think that history is something that happened a long time ago, mostly to other people.

They are encouraged in this by an educational system that avoids dealing with anything more recent than 1980, because it is "controversial". Nothing in the living memory of the parents of school children is taught. Otherwise they might disagree with the accepted Whig view that the natural arc of history bends towards America.

Nominally, high school US history courses tend to be split into 1620-1870 and 1870-2000. They get equal weight... but there's always a crunch towards the end of the year, so the last couple of decades get short shrift. All you need to know, kids, is that Ronald Reagan defeated the Evil Empire and the Berlin Wall was taken down, then there were computers and cable TV. Time for a test!

Anyway, that's how we got here.

you don't have to be an American or federal employee to email Musk with your list of 5 things you did last week.

Anyone feel like trying to share with Elon?

The renaming of the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America" has nothing to do with projecting dominance or even conveying meaning. It is more like Stalinist propaganda. That was not about convincing anyone either, but about dividing people into groups. Those who repeat it – they are "your people." Those who protest against it – they are the ones you need to deal with. Those who say nothing – they don’t matter; they will stay silent on other things as well.

The pissant's executive order lead to 1 air traffic controller on duty, doing the job of 2 people, at least, b/c of the policy implemented more than 1 week ago. These deaths are a direct result of the pissant administration.

Je možné aby se občan EU stal občanem US tak, že se přestěhuje do Gronska a počká tam?
A je možné touto cestou získat i trvalý pobyt v Kanadě, pokud poté bude o něco později USA Kanadu anektovat?

Liberálové a demokraté oslavují pád režimu Asada. Kdo však způsobil pád syrského režimu a kdo nyní ovládne Sýrii a osudy jeho nešťastných obyvatel sužovaných vleklou a krvavou občanskou válkou? Do Damašku napochodovali náboženští fašisté v čele s Abú Mohamedem al Džáwláním – mezinárodně hledaným teroristou. Moc byla předána náboženským radikálům z řad Islámského státu ( #ISIS ) a dalších.
Na severu #Syrie dobývají jedno město za druhým islamistické proturecké milice – vraždí, znásilňují a zotročují obyvatelstvo Rojavy. #Turecko jako člen #NATO bombarduje kurdské oblasti severní Sýrie, které podporuje jiný člen NATO #USA . Ze zpráv se dozvídáme, že zase USA bombardovali pozice ISIS podporované Tureckem. #Izrael provádí hromadné bombardování po celé Sýrii, izraelské tanky obsazují jih Sýrie. Pádem Asada válka neskončila, a vše nasvědčuje, že se roztáčí další kolo válek a bojů mezi státy a syrskými frakcemi, aby si každý urval, co největší kus území, bohatství a moci. A běžní lidé – pracující a rolníci – opět trpí a umírají!
Navíc se nad Sýrií se stahují mračna náboženského fašismu, a nástup reakce jako v případě Iránu a Afganistánu. Málokdo věří prohlášení nových islamistických pánů Damašku, že nechají ženám a etnickým menšinám svobodu a nebudou zavádět islámské právo.
Někteří s napětím pohlíží na Rojavu, jedno z mála demokratických oblastí Sýrie pod kontrolou kurdských marxistů z Kurdské strany práce. Syrské demokratické síly se jistě pokusí odolat vojenské převaze, snad budou úspěšní. Avšak bez podpory USA nejsou schopní vojensky odolat desáté nejsilnější armádě světa – Turecku, které sní o obnově velikosti Osmanské říše a již nyní okupuje část severní Sýrie, podobně jako Izrael Golanské výšiny. #Rojava ačkoliv měla největší podíl na porážce ISIS při které obětovalo život na 12 000 bojovníků a bojovnic #YPG a #YPJ bude celá oblast obětována USA ve prospěch Turecka.

Mahasen Al Khateeb, a Palestinian #digital #illustrator, used to draw children stories and teach Procreate. She skilfully painted the suffering of her people in north Gaza using her stylus. It was her only outlet from a year of pain, horror and genocide.

Today the US-backed zionist regime killed her. Rest in peace Mahasen 💔

Primero fue #EEUU que de la mano de Biden cerro la puerta a su mercado a todas las marcas desde #China, antes siquiera iniciaran su llegada (con mucha prevision), y los medios se apuraron a solo fortalecer el discurso y relato oficial: #USA sube los aranceles a la importacion de autos chinos (¿pero que autos? Cuando nunca se ha importado un solo auto desde ese pais)... entonces queda claro cual fue el objetivo... evitar que desembarcaran.

While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.

I genuinely don't have to wait for a Trump presidency for the ruination of the "rules-based order". Biden is doing fine in his own.
