In today's post for @medium, I write about the troubling reactions to last week's killing of #CharlieKirk.
Here's a link to bypass the paywall:

20 minute documentary “How to erase a people“
on why settler-colonialism is an aboslute evil, how a people and their culture co-exist and evolve with nature, how their language is specific to their way of life, and how their way of life is shaped by the land on which they live. Ultimately, uprooting a people, forcing them to move to another land, necessarily destroys their way of life and erases their culture.

80 minute documentary film “Israelism“ (by Vice, on YouTube)This film makes very clear what motivates Jewish pro-Palestinian people in the US to protest, and how their Jewish faith makes their conviction in peace and humanitarianism so powerful.

USA verhängen Einreiseverbot u.a. gegen zwei Deutsche die sich gegen Hass im Internet engagieren
Außenminister Rubio schreibt unter der Überschrift "Announcement of Actions to Combat the Global Censorship-Industrial Complex" folgendes
"Diese radikalen Aktivisten und als Waffen eingesetzten NGOs haben die Zensurmaßnahmen ausländischer Staaten vorangetrieben – in jedem Fall gegen amerikanische Redner und amerikanische Unternehmen."
Betroffen sind:
- Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization;
-Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index;
-former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs.
- Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate;
Nach der Attacke durch die GLS-Bank auf linke Strukturen in Gestalt der Kündigung von Bankkonten, folgt nun einen weitere Maßnahme des Versuchs der Einschüchterung, wobei Einreiseverbote mutmaßlich nur der erste Sdhritt sein dürften. Dass die USA auch ehemalige und politisch gut vernetzte EU-Kommissare ins Visier nehmen, sollte allen klar machen, dass die US-Regierung jede und jedem mit Maßnahmen überziehen kann und wird, derer sie namhafr wird.
Die AfD baut ihre US-Kontakte aus und es darf unterstellt werden, dass die AfD willige Zulieferin von weiteren Namenslisten ist, von Personen die sie gerne sanktioniert sähe.

3/13/25 (9th day calling)
I left a voice mail at the DC office of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R, NY), requesting that she impeach Trump for starting an unprovoked war w/ Iran & to use her power to stop it.
(I'm feeling under the weather and did not leave voicemails at her other offices. But I plan to resume doing so next week when I, hopefully, feel better.)
I post here for accountability, to compound my emotional benefit, & let my online neighbors see that I care.
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have only a 5 seat majority. It is a key pressure point against Trump's authoritarian agenda.
5 calls is the easiest and most effective way for US constituents to make a political impact.
Make it clear to them that We, The People will hold Republicans responsible for trying to take away our hard-won freedoms.
Some of the best commentary I've read:
"I canceled my Disney+ subscription last night, along with hundreds of others — maybe even thousands. It felt good, but I’m not dumb enough to think that it will *do* any good. I canceled my Amazon Prime subscription when Jeff Bezos dismantled the Washington Post. I cancelled my Spotify subscription years ago over Joe Rogan’s anti-vax comments. It made no difference because these are billionaires making billion-dollar deals, and my monthly subscription is not going to put a dent in it."
"Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers still have jobs because Comcast — the owner of NBCUniversal — has not yet needed FCC approval for anything. But if and when they do, Comcast will throw Fallon and Meyers directly under the bus, too, because at this point, they make less for the corporation than it would cost them to fight off the federal government."

I decided to update my profile slightly, in light of recent events in the USA. I am now a registered Antifa Terrorist (USA Only), and a proud Anti-Fascist, just like several generations of my family before me, and those after.
The Fascist regime in the USA needn't expect me to visit their occupied country any time soon anyway. The rest of the world beckons, and has much to offer.
I give it 50/50 odds that Trump will nuke or carpet bomb a USA city in the next 3 years. Yes, I’m serious.
Hyperbole? I bloody well pray it is!
But look at the man. It would be the ultimate show of domination. And that is all this narcissistic madman craves.

Trump and MAGA intend to starve their rivals and adversaries of federal funding when/wherever possible.
Defenders of democracy will need to push back by starving the federal govt of revenues.
This means, eg, NY and CA withholding $$ they send upstream.
It also means tax resistance from ordinary people. If you owe federal taxes in April, consider filing for an extension or making payments rather than a lump sum.
Power of the “powerless.”
Pls boost.

I am having difficulty providing milk for my twin children, as they need one can per day at a cost of $75 per can. I kindly ask for any help you can offer, whether by providing milk or financial support. Any assistance would make a great difference for us. Thank you.

Trump is no Napoleon.
Excerpt from 'Jacquard's Web' on Joseph-Marie Jacquard, who pre-dated IBM over a century in using punched cards to issue instructions to machines.
Premises:
1 Tech bros follow TESCREAL doctrine:
In partic: the rich ought to survive the poor. No matter "if billions die" from climate, etc breakdown as long as the rich survive to "populate space" (possible cover story).
2 They're buying up islands & building vast underground complexes & gardens.
3 Oligarch-owned govts are incr climate breakdown, calling dissent "terrorism" & building massive prisons.
Conclusion?

Jeffrey Epstein, The Difference Between Conspiracy & Conspiracy Theory, Sarah Kendzior

Conspiracy theories are on the rise because officials refuse to enforce accountability for real conspiracies. Uncritical faith in broken institutions is as dangerous as false narratives peddled by propagandists.
