Friendly reminder that Trump refused to condemn a group of white supremacists chanting “Jews will not replace us”.
He is not on your side. And, if history is any indication, allowing government to control speech and expression by fascist means is much more dangerous to Jews than any group of student protesters could ever be.
I’m convinced these events will permanently change the role of the US in the world. I checked all of Germany’s major newspapers (progressive and conservative) and they all agree that Europe can’t rely on the US anymore and will have to fend for itself and/or find new partners. I don’t doubt it’s the same in other major European countries. This might well be the start of the end of US hegemony. I sure hope that whatever new world order we move into isn’t worse than the one we had, and that the changes go over without additional war.
I know the main thing here is Vance and Trump backstabbing and bullying Zelenskyy, but I just want to point out that Trump repeatedly talked about “raw earth” instead of “rare earths”. We’re truly fucked.

Having pets live with you is not (necessarily) the same as treating them like toys, though, is it?
offer nothing in return
Warmth, company, fun…? Also, the experience of being responsible for and caring for another being can be very valuable.
“you dancing with someone other than your wife”
They might have missed that whole Stormy Daniels story…
Another rare bread!
to stage a future coup
to stop the coup that is happening <-- FTFY

Yes, this is a nazi salute. How long until we see regular "Hail Trump!"s (and/or "Hail Elon!"s)?
There was, 8 years ago. But the second best time is right now.
Agreed.
I have a hunch she’ll be in prison before that happens.
I am on Mastodon and use it somewhat regularly (mainly out of interest for/to support the fediverse), but I still don’t quite “get” it. If I want to fill my feed, I can follow users or hashtags. But following users is weird to me because some of their posts might be interesting to me, but then they post about their breakfast or some random topic I don’t care about.
Hashtags are a bit better, but e.g. I follow #berlin, and of course while there’s lots of news, info and discussion about the city, I also get many posts e.g. of travellers saying they just arrived in the city or other random stuff.
I guess it’s just how microblogging works (never used Twitter so this is my first experience with it), but for me it’s all a bit too unfocused. It’s probably just a personality thing though.
Well, for now they’re being deported to Guantanamo Bay. That doesn’t necessarily mean they will then also be deported to their home countries. I could very well see the Trump administration keep thousands of people there indefinitely and have them do slave labor (which is legal in the US).
Very cool. What’s the third panel from? It doesn’t ring a bell.
Who says they’re planning to send them anywhere?
Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech
Friendly reminder of when spez, many years ago, literally just changed a user’s comment, and then went on to not be immediately fired over this insane breach of everything to do with customer relations.
So they just do it without an amendment. Who’s gonna stop them? The SCOTUS which has declared that Trump isn’t bound by law while president? The people, who happily voted Trump into power after he tried to overthrow the previous government? Congress? The military?
Maybe one of them will, but I would be very anxious these days if I lived in the US.
I remember this from back then. The cool thing is, it looks like the author has been keeping it updated!
