>>2646928Remember, legal + illegal struggle
Remember, praxis + theory
Remember, it's not impossible
Someone explain why socialism in one country isnt a thing? Like, why not?
>>2647920but it is a thing
>>2647922I am asking those who think otherwise you retarded ape
>We serve The Real Movement here sir
So it looks like Trump is still obsessed with taking Greenland, dunno if this would be enough for Generals to explicitly disobey orders but I imagine Miller and Hegseth are trying to purge anyone they think might.
We may actually see the death of NATO in our lifetime.
>>2647928denmark and the rest of the EU will take it and do nothing
China is a capitalist economy.
>>2647930While NATO disbanding is a good thing, I don’t think being replaced by an even more imperialist and violent U.S. hegemony is a good thing.
>>2647932This seems like a mirror of right wing chauvinist rhetoric.
>>2647937I dont understand. Are you saying this is worse?
Radical cooperativism with market socialism characteristics
>>2647937Why would a US Hegemeny slightly less interlinked with Europe be worse
>>2647920>>2647923Was CHAZ socialism in one country?
>>2647942Each time I try to understand the mindset of Trumptards (at least those who don't openly revel in his evil) my brain either deletes that information to protect me from cognitohazards or I fail to understand them at all
>>2647940For the sake of human life, yeah I think the foreign policy vision Trump has is worse than the “traditional” NATO vision. He wants to bring back an era of imperialism that’s just straight up right of conquest, and this ain’t aimed solely at the Euros. I don’t want troops trying to invade Cuba and conquer it, I don’t want the possibility of us invading the Philippines as “our rightful territory” or trying to conquer South Africa to “save the boers”
why did u make a new thread halfway through the last one?>>2647915
>>2647942You ever think that the reactoids here aren't really all that human?
Like we talk shit about PMC libs in here, and yeah, they're annoying as shit, but they at least have… *some* conception of basic critical thinking skills. They're dead-eyed sharks, but they at least understand the concept of being lied to.
The fucking chuds, MAGAs and groypers? I don't even know if they still have the capacity to distinguish true and false. It's like once upon a time they had some capacity to do that, but once The Almighty Algorithm (TM) got a hold of them, it's like they're jerking off to being plugged into the matrix. The very idea that you can form an opinion without consulting TV or social media seems foreign to them. It's like they're human in biology only and are otherwise barely-sentient meat puppets of content recommentation algorithms.
>>2647946>doesnt answer the question and instead starts doing socratic maieuticsThis isnt a philosophical question of speculative nature. I am asking theorycels a question. Kill yourself
>>2647928apparently the whole Iran kerfluffle was a big distraction coming from the generals and admirals that were told to prep for an operation on Greenland which they were scared to do because the illegality of it could cost them their careers. I still think greenland (and canada) is inevitable
>>2647937>I don’t think being replaced by an even more imperialist and violent U.S. hegemony is a good thingmore imperialist and violent? sure. but U.S hegemony is never coming back, those days are long gone. with that being said greenland would enhance american security and strength which is why they need to do it
>>2647949Having spent enough time around them it's some kind of unholy mix of sadism and willful ignorance. God is apparently a social Darwinist who hates the weak and sickly and wants a "strong flock", so vaccinations against childhood diseases are bad. Vice and sin are the greatest problem facing America today…but they always carve out exceptions for themselves and people who think like them. For example, promoting gambling and Vegas culture because "Jesus took a gamble on all of humanity" and blaming the decline of casinos on "woke millennials who want instant gratification" and "Asian tourists shoving their worship of animals everywhere". Actual quotes from her mom btw. Morality police for thee but not for me is one of two overarching laws that define MAGA, the other being the usual principle of fuck you got mine. It's basically just worshiping of anti-social behavior for its own sake
>>2647955Tell me about it. Visiting Grand Junction was a real eye opener into just how completely deluded the MAGA sphere is, I dont think any amount of reeducation can get through to these people and they PRIDE themselves on being wrong if it "owns the libs" because that's all that matters. The entire world is some elaborate internet forum and if you troll hard enough that the other person gives up, you win.
>>2647956But was it though?
>>2647964Thats why i am asking
>>2647959I'm gonna be real - realizing just how far gone MAGA is turned me from an anarchist to a leninist.
No, you can't have a functioning society without some apparatus for keeping the biggest fucking scumbags on earth in line. You could go full Cockshott direct democracy, but you still need some way of fucking making sure these people don't fucking poison the goddamn conversation with their incessant lying.
>>2647966>If I have to get beaten up by Fascists in order to prove my point, then so be itWoah, revolutionary
>>2647966drawing a line in the sand at trump invoking the insurrection act is an excuse to do nothing
Trump on the Tiananmen Square incident in 1990 -
>When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world—https://www.playboy.com/magazine/articles/1990/03/playboy-interview-donald-trump>>2647968I mean I'm still an anarchist but I absolutely embrace the concept of red terror. In fact I'd like to give the means of terror to every comrade who's able. I believe in the Democratization of Terror
>>2647949So far outside of those who are just openly violent misanthropes that you mentioned already one thing that has decent explanatory power is that either they are petit bourgeois or have petit bourgeois aspirations. I still think the weimar era analysis of this being the class most predisposed to crackpot reactionary brainworms holds up(at least in the US). In my anecdotal experience these people literally think they're the only fully developed and self-actualized human and everyone else is an NPC in somesort of modern version of being the elect. The complete rejection of materialism and empricism in favor of mysticism and idealism is also worth mentioning, these people are quite literally more ignorant than 13th century peasants and willingly believe in magic so they can feel special. When you keep in mind that they literally think thoughts and ideas control reality and just decide whatever makes them feel good is the truth and works backwards from there alot of there behavior makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if one day a future socialist society finds out this is something akin to a cluster B personality disorder and/or cognitive deficit.
>>2647968the same thing happened to me where prolonged exposure to reactoids made me realize why the soviets had to do what they had to do
Don't forget that 100 years from now, no lessons will be learned and same mentally ill petit bourgeois reactionary mass will be doing the exact same stupid shit
>>2647981NTA, but because they're a fucking parasitic cancer who take a mile for every inch you give them.
>>2647986> 100 years from now, no lessons will be learnedthere won't be anyone left to learn lessons. maybe AI networks will silently trade imaginary stocks with each other over our corpses though.
>>2647981similar reasons to the other replies, I was reading about the russian revolution more about the same time I had a bunch of MAGA bosses and realized these people would rather kill all life on Earth then let a bunch of anarchists fuck off to the countryside to farm. the so-called red terror is just self defense and since the state is a tool a violence whats even the point of having central government if your not going to sick it on reactionaries. If Antifa actually killed the people they doxxed the amount of school shootings and pedophilia would dramatically drop.
>>2647967The answer depends on what your exactly asking about.
If you’re talking about a situation where communism exists in only one country, then it is murky yes. But there are still conditions it must follow, and this state should be seen in a negative sense.
If you speak of the policy, then the answer is a big fat no. Communism is the real movement that abolishes the present state of things. It does not abide by the present state of things. It is not content with letting the capitalist powers be. It is internationalist by its nature. It spread like a disease and it infests everything. It does not allow itself to retreat, for retreat means containment.
It is workers of the world unite, not workers of the nation unite for a reason.
>>2647920Some dumb idea Stalin had that lasted 5 minutes because he was forced to export revolution anyways once the Nazis started invading.
>>2647928Shouldve voted for kamala. Without nato amerikans lose the treats
>>2648009Generously you could say he said socialism in one country to buy time as the Soviet Union was recovering from the revolution and industrializing.
>>2648016
>you need to troll so badly that you ban evade using tor
pffffffffffhahahahaha loser
>>2648009>Some dumb idea Stalin had that lasted 5 minutes because he was forced to export revolution anyways once the Nazis started invading.Where to begin? Socialism in one country wasn't a "dumb idea" nor was it meant to be a permanent state of affairs. It was an acknowledgement that the USSR was in no position to spread revolution after its failure to do so in the Soviet-Polish war. WW1 and the Civil war and the Soviet-Polish war left the USSR weak. It needed to focus on internal development of productive forces, which it did quite well. Unfortunately the nazis invaded. Stalin tried to form an antifascist coalition with the UK, France, Poland, and others, but they rejected the USSR and signed non aggression pacts with Hitler. Finally the USSR also signed a non aggression pact, but only after several other countries did it. The USSR did this to buy time and move factories east out of the range of the luftwaffe. They also invaded poland to prevent the Germans from taking all of poland and having a front line right on the soviet border. This failed because the Nazis did not honor the pact, naturally, since their entire purpose for existing was genociding slavs and destroying Communism. The capitalists in the West licked their lips and hoped he would do it. But when it became apparent Hitler was a mad dog attacking everyone, not just Communists, they finally sided with the Soviets against Hitler. They especially wanted to control postwar conditions to minimize Soviet power, hence the immediate betrayal of Greek Communists by the brits after the WW2 and the contemplation of shit like operation unthinkable, and the Korean war, and the creation of NATO, and the creation and stockpiling of nuclear weapons by the USA.
Socialism in One Country was the USSR grappling with its limited ability to project power due to it existing in a state of constant siege from its very birth onwards.
>>2647928>>2648018>>2648021once denmark takes it up the ass without protest i will remind you
>>2648016
I think you’re right the Euros will ultimately roll over on Greenland but it’ll be the start of the breakup of NATO. Either it being absorbed into some super America military force or the E.U and other nato members will boot the U.S out and it’ll start a Cold War between the U.S and Europe.
>>2648026it'll be the first thing. there is no way in hell the second thing happens. the first thing will happen even if they don't dissolve NATO on paper.
>>2648026>Either it being absorbed into some super America military forcenever gonna happen if france has to give up its nukes, the only thing deterring Russia from gobbling up more of europe
>>2647211Oh yeah but a loud smelly Indian talking about dry academic subjects doesn't drive away normies and the hoes, of course
>>2648031>loud smelly Indianhi /pol/
>>2648016
>>2648016
Good points. I also dont understand why democrats say they are left but they defend danish feudal colonialism because they want to maintain inter-imperialist alliance. Any war of liberation is just but this one is only because Amerika already occupies greenland so danish settlers and danish feudal colonial can gtfo. They are afraid of amerika collapsing so they say their ruling class had no interest in war with canada and denmark so that why it must be supported
>>2648030The future is pretty bleak for continental Europe. The Brit’s will obviously be folded into the American empire. The E.U is going to be sandwiched on all sides by imperialist powers and an increasingly pissed off and industrializing periphery.
>>2648040Isn't the point of EU-Mercosur deal to export high level industrial goods and services to south america thus slowing down their own internal development?
>>2648040perfect opportunity for euro communists to take advantage of the situation but the workers are too comfortable with their free welfare states for anything to change unfortunately
>>2648045it's not about "waiting" for "the next crisis"
it's about organizing before crises so you c an actually take advantage of them when they happen. education and agitation can happen online but organizing HAS TO HAPPEN IN THE REAL WORLD. and that organizing can't just be more liberal pacifist protests where the protesters bring their cameras and doxx themselves. it has to be real militant struggle against the state, to seize the means of production, to destroy its imperialist infrastructure, to confiscate the capitalist's wealth. it cannot be a purely legal struggle nor a purely adventurist struggle, but requires mixed methodology, division of labor, and a broad coalition.
>>2648046Will that really work if they have an energy crises? Cheaper raw material can only get you so far if your production is crippled by the cost of emergy
>>2648046What? no. south america would benefit from free trade with europe. it's never gonna happen though because European farmers have way too much to lose from cheap latam agricultural products being imported. they're a big lobbying group in politics cuz their businesses could get wiped out. europe is fucked they're in crisis mode lol
>>2648048Oh I agree absolutely, hell I believe that whether there's a crisis or not we should always be acting, doing things both online and out there. Even if things don't seem immediately effective, they are in the long run. Tiny seeds can be become huge trees with time, for this reason its important to always be planting.
>>2648048Friend, I don't think that poster meant that we should wait until the next crisis to act, just that the next crisis will be worse than the present crisis
>>2648032kino but huge file
>>2647942>You know I didn't think the End Times would be quite this stupid. Our president is pretty much a caricature of the antichrist and yet the same people who have the entire Left Behind collection on paperback (my girlfriend's evangelical MAGAtard parents, for example) think that he's some kind of prophet and get violently angry when you imply he's not, let alone joke about him being the antichrist. Forgive me for quoting Zoolander, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pillsI talked about this before—and in fairness I had an argument with one tradcath online who claimed Trump was a contender for some unknown “great Catholic monarch” prophecy—but I think Republicans and conservatives recognize their own unpopularity so they factor that into their interpretation of the Anti-Christ in a way that unironically makes them prime followers for the “real” antichrist (who was likely Emperor Nero)
Lemme explain, in the excerpts I’ve read of the Left Behind books the antichrist is this charismatic UN representative for Romania. They play up how he’s young and handsome and wins people over with words. But a lot of the time his “evil” acts amount to nothing more than just blandly fulfilling biblical prophecy (building a capital in Iraq I believe) and vague sinful things like… dating a prostitute. Basically he’s just a generic charismatic secular politician.
This is where some mental gymnastics comes in. See they’ve accused numerous people of being the antichrist, one of my coworkers who was a liberal evangelical back in the day said in his day conservatives used to say that Gorbachev was the antichrist—because he was the “nice” communist, the “liberal” one, and that was all part of a 4D chess scheme to create a one world government with the dark charisma of the antichrist. So if a public (often liberal) figure is popular that’s just the charisma of the antichrist at work. Obama was another antichrist contender because people liked him and he could give these soaring speeches. It’s really no shock that Peter Thiel is claiming Greta is the antichrist too, because people like her and that proves she has the eeeeeeevil almost hypnotic charisma of the antichrist. Trump is widely loathed by the media and normal secular people and so clearly he’s not the antichrist because the “satanic world is against him.”
Something else worth mentioning is that to many of these types Christianity is essentially just a set of rules and policies divorced from morality. Like you see this most odiously with Jack Chick’s work because he has children burn in the lake of fire for going trick-or-treating and has murderers and terrorists go to heaven because they accept Jesus just before they die. The rules have the veneer of biblical backing but are often contingent on local prejudices and the like. A kid who celebrates Halloween is more likely to go to hell than the local jock/son of a small town mayor who beats the local queer kid to death because the first is “breaking the rules” and the second is “a mistake”. So sure, Trump is a perverted bastard but he’s making it harder for LGBT people to exist and giving evangelicals basically whatever they want. In fact some pastors are looking to Trump as a role model because his perverse lusting after women might “inspire” young men to be douchebags and not liberal pussies.
So really Trump being the most immoral monster is a good thing because it “proves” who he is, not some snake in the grass liberal antichrist.
>>2648054EU-Mercosur deal literally already passed
>>2647955magats are p-zombies
>>2648048most will agree but not actually back up that agreement with action because they lack commitment, motivation, incentive, willpower.
>>2648069last I heard France blocked it, but if it passed then great, europe had to start making sacrifices at some point and its nothing but beneficial for latams competitiveness in the global market
I ask again, Amerifats, will you do something about the fascism taking place in your country? I mean at least people are trying to warn others and disrupt ICE abductions, but when are you actually going to do something about these people? People are dying in ICE detention centers and abductees are being raped. What are you doing?
>>2648078Nothing until WWIII
>>2648081WW3 started Feb 2022

How do we get EU and China be friends thus killing USA for good?
>>2647920>Someone explain why socialism in one country isnt a thing? Like, why not?It's just not viable in the long run. Capitalism is entrenched as a world system. It was globe-spanning when the Cold War started. Even if Capitalist countries don't overtly wage war on Socialist countries, they'll use economics and politics to their fullest extent to isolate those Socialist countries, which is bad because
very, very few countries can actually achieve anything close to autarky; ironically, the US with its current territories is actually one of those countries, but that would require exploiting land that we otherwise protect as Federally-sanctioned conservation areas and parks, among other things.
Like, we know that the political and economic power the US and its allies had during the Cold War and afterwards is owed mainly by the fact that the US was the only major participant in WW2 that didn't get its society wrecked by war, and used that pristine industrial base to rapidly restore its allies' economies; something the Soviet Union didn't get, even after suffering 3 near-apocalyptic wars wrought on its society within the span of 40 years (WW1, Russian Civil War, WW2) that it had to rebuild almost entirely on its own.
With that in mind, while Capitalists in the US' sphere of influence had no idea of what they were doing right (records and actions indicate they really didn't), it seems that besides being able to get friendly with the CPC after the Sino-Soviet Split, the US won the Cold War primarily by playing a game of chicken with the Warsaw Pact through the constant military mobilization along the iron curtain and near-constant proxy wars, which the US was able to weather the costs of with its sheer political and economic connections, while the USSR was choked by it, because it prevented them from being able to shift its economy out of being dominated by heavy industry and raw resource exporting and being able to invest in consumer products on the same level that the Capitalist sphere could; it's partially why we got the memes of empty grocery stores in the Warsaw Pact by the 1980s.
I have a crack theory
based partially on vibes that while the USSR turned into a screwed up, but not totally irredeemable Socialist country
(inb4 Trot), it would've been lucky to have survived into the 21st century because of these reasons. If the Sino-Soviet Split hadn't happened, the odds might've been better, but not much, because China had a similar problem as the Soviets in that they inherited a society that still had literal Feudalism in some parts, and basically had to bootstrap themselves into an industrial Capitalist society just so that they could have a way to sustain a war effort that would have a fighting chance against any would-be Capitalist power. If the USSR had went all in on OGAS, it would probably have an even better shot at sticking around, but getting a viable OGAS would've required political reform that just didn't happen.
Also, I'm pretty sure Socialism In One Country was really Stalin establishing a diplomatic policy. The truth is, in the immediate years after the Russian Civil War in the 1920s, the Capitalist world was already trying to isolate the USSR and treat it as a pariah state, fearing the Soviets would actually follow through on trying to export revolution abroad. More importantly, this meant that the richer countries of Europe wouldn't do business with the Soviet economy. The "theory" of Si1C was actually Stalin trying to thread the needle of appeasing the internationalist expectations of Communists abroad while trying to say to sitting governments, "Hey! Don't shoot, and please buy our grain!". In this, I feel bad for Stalin and the apparatchiks in the Soviet government. I really do, but the truth is that not only was this taking defeat and selling it as victory, it was taking defeat and claiming it as an advancement in Marxist theory.
Pic unrelated, but I'd take living in that world than the one we got IRL

>>2648026>it’ll be the start of the breakup of NATONah I think the EU will eventually rationalize it exactly as Trump is trying to sell it right now: as a military priority for the safety of the northern hemisphere or whatever, maybe not now but in a few years no one will question why the US took over Greenland. And they will because EU leaders are personally invested in US stocks and bonds.

>>2648147I do think there should be a real push against CPUSA leadership which is openly class collaborationist, but it's basically impossible because the CPUSA is a cozy NGO for democrats pretending to be a party and the upper brass is basically fixed and completely unmovable.

I'm in a small area with not much in town so I joined DSA recently we had to boot some anarchist that worked their way up to leadership just to sabotage the chapter.
DSA kinda sucks but going and sabotaging small socialist chapters that don't do electoralism is pretty dumb. Not a big surprise from an anarchist though.
>>2648140Internally or externally?
>>2648157While I can appreciate pushing back on the guy, I think there’s more important things we can do.
So personally I’ve heard that some migrant communities have been coming up with plans for what to do if ICE raids their workplace, I’ve got at least a couple coworkers I trust with that so I was thinking of putting together a quiet action plan. As far as I know, no one here is undocumented but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Anyways I’m thinking it could be a simple strategy not all that different from our fire drill. We’ve got lots of emergency exits, maybe we open the back and let people out there—but does ICE surround buildings they’re gonna raid? All I’ve seen is them walking in through the front door.
Maybe we can come up with some resource like if someone gets taken by ICE another person can pick up their kids and take them to a relatives house? Something like emergency numbers?
Anyone got any suggestions? I might see if anyone is interested in a discord and before someone complains about opsec: we’re just grocery workers, we aren’t planning to kill anyone, this would just be an easy resource to make sure peoples kids aren’t just left abandoned at school.
Libs seem to be pissing themselves about the prospect of midterms being cancelled and Greenland being invaded.

ICE is not as dangerous as one may believe. ICE members are not trained units. They are just thugs with guns.
Special forces, on the other hand, are much more dangerous. Basically death squads. The US would use them in case they need to restrain ICE.

fuck, you think in country full of guns not one fucker decides enough is enough and just mag dumps on a ICE faggot
>>2648264when the dems do nothing, i will remind you
If Trump cancels the elections the dems will do a full court press to get people to stand down and disavow all who don't, and cheer on the government killing them. they will side with the government while rhetorically doing backflips to get enough of their base to buy that they aren't turncoats and that it's the "smart" course. Some of them know enough to know that if things get to the point where only a violent struggle sees them in power then they will choose to ride out the trump regime in comfort probably reasoning it'll only be ten years or so while they wait in the wings to tap in. They know that the struggle will have to be for something and will almost certainly go out of their control if victorious and likely have to result in the reforms they don't want to do already, and more, or they become the next targets. So they will be on Trump's side, screen cap this in case the elections get cancelled.
>>2648269the only burgers with guns are the ones who think trump isn't a pedo
>>2648254Yeah that's… Uh… No that's not gonna happen dude lol. He's going to live for 10 more years somehow, and he'll have a 3rd term. There's nothing the Dems will do to stop it. He'll even get the insurrection act going without any significant pushback in Congress.
Jdpon Don is doing revolutionary defeatism and nothing can get in his way. Welcome to the next decade of your life :D
>>2648273well yeah but it's gonna be a lot easier for Dems to do that when the war against communist China begins
>>2648269>enough is enoughlibs are a bunch of hippies. socialists don't have any mainstream power. and the politicians don't want to damage the state.
If trump calls back the moon nazis from Iron Sky, the democrats will become his personal SS commanders and will use lugers to execute minorities and AOC and Jasmine Crockett will don leather and peaked caps and will become dominatrices and will chain up every leftist (including me) and step on them with sharp high heels
>>2648273I think what is more likely is a military coup lead by mad dog Mattis and Milley to give a National Restoration of Democracy but it will be the MIC masked off and end up in multiple fronts bombing the fronts in Iran, Venezuela(for not giving enough),Ukraine,Taiwan,Sahel,Sudan,etc. That will be when decades happen
>>2648274That's absolutely not true, plenty of normies have guns. Like everyone here has guns, no matter your affiliation. The problem is none of us want to shoot without an actual plan, without a real militia. Just one guy shooting a few ice officers won't do anything. Everyone has the correct intuition that if anything were to be done with guns, it would only work as an organized and massive armed resistance, akin to another army.
Everyone here knows how unbelievably powerful our military is, and we know for a fact that they would use it against us without a second thought.

The other anon is right that the average gun owner American gun owner is more likely to believe Trump is not a pedo

Chevron board member made sizable donation to Trump-affiliated PAC

Madison Sheahan is a close ally of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ran much of ICE’s day-to-day operations - wall Street journal
WASHINGTON—Madison Sheahan, the No. 2 official at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and close ally of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, is resigning to run for Congress in Ohio.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed her departure in a statement. Sheahan, who ran much of the day-to-day operations inside ICE, was the agency’s main point of contact with Noem and was behind many of the agency’s splashier operations and ad campaigns.
Noem called Sheahan a “work horse” whose leadership would translate to elected office.
“I’ve known her for years, she loves her family, Ohio and her country. She will be a great defender of freedom when she goes to Congress,” Noem said.
Sheahan, 28 years old, ruffled feathers inside the agency when she was first installed. As the former Louisiana Secretary of Fish and Wildlife and a campaign hand to then-Gov. Noem in South Dakota, Sheahan came to ICE with no previous law-enforcement experience. Even so, she directed many of the agency’s operations and issued orders directly to ICE officers, often cutting out the agency’s acting director, Todd Lyons.
Sheahan oversaw ICE’s day-to-day operations, according to the agency, including more than 6,800 criminal investigators and 6,000 enforcement officers.
She had disappeared from the office in the past week, skipping internal calls concerning the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good last week in Minneapolis and the broader enforcement operation there. Lyons only learned of her departure on Thursday morning, shortly before it became public, according to people familiar with the matter
Companies see boost from Trump admin after adding Don Jr. to their board
Two companies which added Donald Trump Jr. to their board or advisory board subsequently received benefits from his father’s administration, and a third company that added him to their board may stand to benefit from a new Trump healthcare program. These three companies–Unusual Machines, Credova and BlinkRx–each added Trump’s eldest son to their boards after the 2024 presidential election, part of a flurry of new positions for the president’s eldest sons.
Don Jr. and Eric Trump have joined a total of ten companies’ boards since the 2024 election. The sudden burst of business opportunities is conspicuous, given that, prior to their father’s victory, there was no evidence that they had been such highly sought-after business leaders, outside the constellation of Trump family companies. Those positions, and the appearance they give the companies of an edge with the Trump administration, represent potential conflicts of interest that risk corrupting important functions of the executive branch, in favor of further enriching the Trump family.
Just weeks after the 2024 election, drone maker Unusual Machines announced that Don Jr. joined its newly-created advisory board, immediately causing shares to soar. As compensation for his role on the advisory board, Don Jr. was given 200,000 shares of Unusual Machines stock.
Don Jr.’s advisory agreement appears to have expired automatically after one year, but not before the company established itself as a supplier for the U.S. Army. In October 2025, Unusual Machines announced an order from the Army for 3,500 drone motors and other components, reportedly the company’s largest government order to date. The announcement also stated that the Army has plans to order 20,000 more components from Unusual Machines in 2026.
In describing Don Jr.’s role with Unusual Machines, CEO Allan Evans said, “[j]ust lending some of that association has created more credibility to rise above the noise. It’d almost be like Oprah joining the WeightWatchers board, right? What does Oprah need to do? Not a lot.”
In December 2024, Don Jr. joined the board of the e-commerce and payments company PublicSquare. In August 2025, the company announced that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau had closed its years-long investigation into Credova Financial, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PublicSquare. In a letter to PublicSquare, a CFPB official wrote that the investigation “exemplifies the type of weaponization against disfavored industries and individuals that President Trump and Acting Director Vought are committed to ending.” Credova had reportedly been the subject of consumer complaints and was accused of violating state consumer protection laws. In 2024, Don Jr. was compensated more than $3.1 million by Credova’s parent company, and Credova also currently provides “Shoot Now Pay Later” financing for the Don Jr.-backed online gun retailer, GrabAGun.
In February 2025, Don Jr. was named to the board of digital pharmacy company BlinkRx. In late July, President Trump sent letters to drug manufacturers directing them to offer direct-to-consumer sales of certain drugs within 60 days. One week later, BlinkRx launched a program that would allow pharmaceutical companies to rapidly create platforms to do just that. In September, President Trump announced TrumpRx, a government website planned to launch in 2026 that would steer consumers to purchase prescription drugs directly from manufacturers. A BlinkRx representative reportedly “told one drug company that BlinkRx could be involved with running the site on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.”
BlinkRx was also set to host the “Future of Pharmaceuticals” summit in December which was expected to bring together pharmaceutical companies and government officials including members of the cabinet. The investment firm 1789 Capital, where Don Jr. is a partner, was a co-host of the summit, which was scheduled to end with a dinner at the Executive Branch, a private members club that Don Jr. cofounded. 1789 Capital led investment in a $140 million funding round for the company in 2024.
In response to these events, Democratic health committee leaders in the House and Senate sent a letter to BlinkRx raising questions about potential coordination between the administration and the company. BlinkRx responded in a letter that the company first learned about TrumpRx “from press reports” and had “no role in the development” of the announcement.
Between 2020 and the 2024 election, Donald Trump Jr. was named to the board of only one company–Trump Media & Technology Group in 2022. Since the election, Don Jr. has been named to the boards of four companies–PublicSquare, GrabAGun, BlinkRx and Colombier Acquisition Corp. III–and has joined the advisory boards of four others–Unusual Machines, Polymarket, Dominari Holdings and New America Acquisition I Corp. The prediction market Kalshi and the technology-focused Mixed Martial Arts Group have both added Don Jr. as a strategic advisor. Meanwhile, Eric Trump has joined the advisory boards of Dominari Holdings and New America, and became a Strategic Board Advisor for Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet.
The companies’ additions of the Trump brothers raise concerns about conflicts of interest. While CREW’s research did not find evidence of a clear quid pro quo, even the appearance of preferential treatment undermines public confidence in government decision-making. The Trump family’s increasingly sprawling business interests jeopardize public trust in executive branch functions like awarding government contracts and carrying out investigations.

A district court judge on Wednesday blocked the U.S. Department of Agriculture from ceasing payments to Minnesota for federal food assistance unless the state recertified all households receiving SNAP benefits.
Last month, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins gave Minnesota a 30-day deadline to conduct in-person interviews for more than 100,000 households enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. That deadline would have come around on Thursday.
In a lawsuit seeking to stop the impending funding freeze, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison called the demand “utterly impossible,” even with advance notice.

At a weekly public safety meeting, residents raised fears that a Saturday march led by conservative influencer Jake Lang could result in Somali residents being harassed on the street.
Some speakers emphasized that they worry Lang or others in the march could try to provoke given he’s made Islamophobic gestures in the past. That includes a rally in Texas where he raised up a severed pig head with a copy of the Quran in its mouth.
Lang spent four years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was convicted on 11 charges including assault for attacking Capitol police officers with a baseball bat. He was then pardoned in 2025 by Trump.
The event page does not say how many have RSVP’d to show up.
It’s described as a march against “$8 billion dollars of fraud” from social service programs “that occurred from certain communities under Gov. Tim Walz’s watch.” Federal prosecutors have alleged that the amount of money pilfered from social programs in recent years could exceed $9 billion, though Walz has asserted that number is speculation.

Why ICE Can Kill With Impunity
Over the past decade, US immigration agents have shot and killed more than two dozen people. Not a single agent appears to have faced criminal charges.
https://www.wired.com/story/why-ice-can-kill-with-impunity/The Cook Political Report on Thursday shifted 18 House races toward Democrats in the latest sign of the party’s momentum ahead of the midterms.
Citing President Trump’s unpopular polling numbers and Democrats’ winning streak in recent special elections, the nonpartisan election handicapper has projected that Democrats have “more than enough opportunities” to win a majority in the House this fall, according to analyst Erin Covey.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5691280-cook-report-democrats-house-momentum/BOSTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge on Tuesday urged the Trump administration to resolve a "bureaucratic mess" by issuing a student visa to a college student who was deported to Honduras after being arrested at Boston's airport while trying to visit her family for Thanksgiving.
U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns during a hearing in Boston raised that prospect as a "practical solution" to how to resolve a lawsuit by Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old student at Babson College who was sent to Honduras in violation of a court order.

Ms Motzfeldt briefly broke down and held back tears as she said: “Oh, I am getting very emotional. I am overwhelmed. The last days have been tough. Our preparations and the increasing pressure, that has been intense.”

The U.S. would need more military firepower in the Middle East both to launch a large-scale strike, protect American forces in the region and allies like Israel should Iran retaliate, the advisers told Trump.
POTUS is expected to order an aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, from the South China Sea to the Middle East. - WSJ
WSJ: "President Trump was advised that a large-scale strike against Iran was unlikely to make the government fall and could spark a wider conflict…and for now will monitor how Tehran handles protesters before deciding on the scope of a potential attack."
–"The U.S. officials and Middle Eastern partners told the White House the regime was unlikely to fall after a massive bombing campaign, which could instead spark a broader conflict. Smaller assault packages, meanwhile, could boost morale among protesters but ultimately not change the regime’s crackdown against dissenters, the officials said."
Axios: "President Trump is delaying a decision on striking Iran as the White House consults internally and with allies about the timing for such an operation and whether it would meaningfully destabilize the regime…The military option remains firmly on the table, but Trump's decision to pause has exposed deep uncertainty — inside the administration and among allies — about the risks of a strike that punishes Iran while inviting major retaliation."

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman led efforts to talk US President Donald Trump out of an attack on Iran, fearing “grave blowbacks in the region,” a senior Saudi official told AFP on Thursday.
The Gulf trio “led a long, frantic, diplomatic last-minute effort to convince President Trump to give Iran a chance to show good intention,” the official said on condition of anonymity, adding that dialogue was continuing.
The Gulf efforts aimed to “avoid an uncontrollable situation in the region,” the Saudi official said.
“We told Washington that an attack on Iran would open the way for a series of grave blowbacks in the region,” the official added.
“It was a sleepless night to defuse more bombs in the region… the communication is still underway to consolidate the gained trust and the current good spirit.”
Another Gulf official said “the message conveyed to Iran has been that an attack on US facilities in the Gulf would have consequences on relations with countries in the region.”

The Trump-backed Palestinian who wants to push Gaza's rubble into the sea
JERUSALEM/CAIRO, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Ali Shaath, the Palestinian former government official chosen to administer Gaza under a U.S.-backed deal, has an ambitious plan that includes pushing war debris into the Mediterranean Sea and rebuilding destroyed infrastructure within three years.
The appointment of the civil engineer and former deputy planning minister on Thursday marked the start of the next phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end Israel’s war in Gaza.
Shaath will chair a group of 15 Palestinian technocrats tasked with governing the Palestinian enclave after years of rule by Hamas militants.
Under Trump’s plan, Israel has withdrawn from nearly half of Gaza but its troops remain in control of the other half, a wasteland where nearly all buildings have been destroyed. Trump has floated turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.

WASHINGTON/HAVANA, Jan 15 – The U.S. State Department’s top aid official warned Cuba’s authorities on Thursday not to interfere with a humanitarian aid shipment and suggested President Donald Trump could take action if Cuba fails to comply.
The warning from Jeremy Lewin, a senior State Department official, comes as the U.S. prepares to deliver $3 million in aid pledged to the Cuban people following Hurricane Melissa in October.

The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its strike group were spotted moving west away from the Indo-Pacific region, according to images from Copernicus, a satellite data company that monitors maritime traffic.
The movement of the carrier strike group — which includes fighter jets, guided missile destroyers and at least one attack submarine — is expected to take about a week, a source told NewsNation.

The eSafety Commissioner said platforms had so far removed about 4.7 million accounts held by under-16s to comply with a law that went live on 10 December. Some platforms had said they would start closing affected accounts in the weeks before the deadline.
The figures represent the first government data on compliance and suggest platforms are taking significant steps to adhere to a law that could see them fined up to A$49.5 million for non-compliance, but does not hold children or their parents liable.

>Surviving past the death of the prophet is the first litmus test for cult vs religion
There is no essential difference. We just call small religions "cults" to pretend the larger ones are more legitimate. They are not.
>the second is healthy relationships with those outside the faith, are the leaders isolating you from friends, family, and the wider community?
Christianity, the worlds largest religions is perfectly fine with isolating it's followers. As Jesus said in Matthew 10:34-36:
<34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

Nobel Peace prize winner gives medal to Trump
Nobel Peace Prize winner says she gave Trump her medal at White House meeting
Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado tells reporters outside the US Capitol that she presented Donald Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize medal.
There had been speculation over whether she would give the medal to the US president during their meeting at the White House.
She tells our US correspondent James Matthews this was done in "recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom".
It's unclear whether Trump has accepted the medal.
As a reminder, Machado won 2025's Nobel Peace Prize - an honour Trump himself clearly wanted - for her efforts campaigning against Nicolas Maduro's repressive regime in Venezuela.
Trump's US snatched Maduro to put him on trial in the US for drug-related offences, in an audacious raid, earlier this month.

Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodrguez on Thursday asked lawmakers to approve reforms to the oil industry that would open the doors to greater foreign investment during her first state of the union speech less than two weeks after its longtime leader was toppled by the United States.
She outlined a distinct vision for the future, straying from her predecessors, who have long railed against American intervention in Venezeula. “Let us not be afraid of diplomacy” with the US, said Rodriguez, the former vice president who must now navigate competing pressures from the Trump administration and a government loyal to former President Nicols Maduro.
The speech, which was broadcast on a delay in Venezuela, came one day after Rodrguez said her government would continue releasing prisoners detained under Maduro in what she described as “a new political moment” since his ouster.
"Let us not be afraid of diplomacy" with the U.S., said Rodriguez, who must now navigate competing pressures from the Trump administration and a government loyal to former President Nicolas Maduro
On Thursday, Rodriguez said money earned from foreign oil sales would go into two funds: one dedicated to social services for workers and the public health care system, and another to economic development and infrastructure projects.

Several of Minnesota’s largest school districts, including those of Minneapolis and St. Paul, are offering students the option to learn remotely amid a federal immigration crackdown that has left many families on edge.
In Minneapolis, where 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent last week, students will have the option to learn online until Feb. 12.
The school district in St. Paul said it would offer an online option starting next week.
“Over the past several days, I have received hundreds of messages about offering a temporary virtual learning option for students who do not feel comfortable coming to school right now,” said St. Paul’s schools superintendent, Stacie Stanley, in a video message on Wednesday.
St. Paul’s school district, the state’s second largest, is home to a significant immigrant population. Many students speak Spanish, Hmong, Somali or another foreign language at home.
About half of Spanish-speaking students in St. Paul and a quarter of Somali-speaking students were absent from school last Friday, as tensions escalated in the aftermath of Ms. Good’s death, according to district data.
Minneapolis Public Schools declined to make attendance data available.
The Trump administration launched an immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities, primarily focused on Somali immigrants, in December, and last week, ICE announced it was amping up its presence in the Minneapolis area in its “largest operation to date.”
Trump administration officials have said that ICE does not target or raid schools, though the administration has rescinded Biden-era guidance that limited immigration enforcement activities in or near “sensitive” locations, such as schools, churches and hospitals.
Research has shown that immigration raids can lead to increased student absences, hurting student achievement and opportunities to learn, even when they do not occur on school grounds.
The situation in the Minneapolis area has been especially tense since Ms. Good was killed.
Border Patrol agents clashed with protesters outside a Minneapolis high school last week, hours after the shooting. In Robbinsdale, a northwest suburb, school officials said that ICE agents detained a parent at a bus stop on Wednesday morning while the parent was dropping a child off for school.
In Fridley, a district of about 2,700 students north of Minneapolis, roughly a third of students have been absent so far this week, according to the superintendent, Brenda Lewis. The district has a significant Hispanic and Somali population.
“Students are terrified to come to school,” Dr. Lewis said.
The district is planning to offer an online option starting next week.

Maybe get some kind of burner phone that has good enough video to record ICE chicanery. I know you're asking suggestions for things to do or get at the workplace, but if you get involved in protests, consider getting a faraday bag. You'll just need to test and be sure the bag you get actually works.
There are roughly 3,000 federal agents on the ground in the Minneapolis area making immigration arrests, a federal law enforcement official told NBC News.
That includes more than 2,000 ICE officers and agents, hundreds of Border Patrol agents and some from Justice Department agencies.
Iraqi militias have joined the Iranian regime’s crackdown, security sources say
Iraqi militiamen have crossed into Iran over the past weeks to help Tehran suppress ongoing protests, according to a European military source and an Iraqi security source familiar with the matter.
The Iraqi security source said nearly 5,000 fighters from powerful Iraqi militias entered Iran from two border crossings in southern Iraq: the Shaib border crossing in Maysan province and the Zurbatiya border crossing in Wasit province.
A European military source also confirmed to CNN that 800 Shiite fighters crossed from the Iraqi provinces of Diyala, Maysan and Basra, to help with the Iranian crackdown under the pretense of religious pilgrimages.
CNN has reached out to the Iraqi government and the Iranian embassy in London for comment.
According to a weekend statement by the Iraqi Observatory for Rights and Freedom, waves of Iran-backed Iraqi fighters have been entering Iran since violent protests erupted in the country nearly three weeks ago.
According to a European military assessment seen by CNN, they belong to armed groups loyal to Tehran – like Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada and the Badr Organization. These Iraqi militias operate within the umbrella group known as the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).
According to the document, their presence has been reported in several sensitive areas in Iran, including in cities like Hamedan, where they have been involved in the crackdown on protests.
The use of non-Iranian fighters is another indication of the regime’s fragility and of its determination to hold firm despite the high human cost of the protests so far.
“The recourse to foreign militias falls under a clear security strategy: neutralizing any possibility of fraternization between the forces of repression and the demonstrators,” according to the assessment.

The “stand up to tyranny” slogans have generally been used by the Right wing lionizing 1776, the guns have generally been owned by the Right wing. The liberal response for years was “Yeah, sure, Cletus and his AR will take down the government”. Like there was a minor right wing position before Trump that was basically “everyone in America should be forced to own a gun”, like they literally wanted to force gun ownership on libs.
So right now the libs are chortling that this proves that the 2A guys who talked about standing up to tyranny are hypocrites even though they’re basically saying “why aren’t you defending us?”

The other two sources, both diplomats who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that some personnel who were advised to leave the base on Wednesday have also been permitted to return.
Venezuelan president proposes change to energy laws to allow greater US involvement
Interim leader Delcy Rodriguez has told the country’s national assembly that she is putting forward reforms to open up the country’s oil market to outside investors, a key demand of the Trump administration.

US official says Europe ‘imported barbarian rapist hordes’ in racist tirade
US Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah B Rogers has said that Europe’s acceptance of refugees from Muslim countries led to the “importation” of “barbarian rapist hordes”, echoing Islamophobic rhetoric that has been embraced by the Trump administration and its allies on the European far-right.
“Germany infamously retains very few Jews, yet imported barbarian rapist hordes (as an American, I’m allowed to call them that) under Merkel. Even today, Germany suppresses political opposition who point this out,” Rogers said in a social post.
The post was in response to a far-right social media account blaming Jews for the acceptance of non-Western immigrants – an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory popular among white nationalists.

Minneapolis City Council members call for eviction moratorium
Members of the Minneapolis City Council — including Robin Wonsley, Jamal Osman, Jason Chavez and Soren Stevenson — are calling for an eviction moratorium as some of their constituents are afraid to leave their homes amid the ICE surge.
"Asking ICE to leave is not enough. Saying 'f ICE' is not enough. We are going to need more than strongly worded letters and statements to get ICE out of our communities. And people need protection now," said Wonsley, who represents Cedar-Riverside, Seward and the area around the University of Minnesota. "Everyday people are risking their lives to protect their neighbors. And now they need to see political courage from the people who have the means to take action like elected officials."
Osman said residents are "staying inside because they are being kidnapped on the street. Parents who work every day are missing shifts because they don't feel safe going to work."
"Everyday people are risking their lives to protect their neighbors. And now we need to see political courage from the people who the means to take action like elected officials," Osman said.
The press conference Thursday afternoon preceded a Minneapolis City Council meeting.

>US Chamber CEO Warns Frustrated Voters Turning From CapitalismUS Chamber President and CEO Suzanne Clark, in laying out a big-sweep defense of capitalism and economic growth, warned voters’ frustration over rising costs has led some to seek socialist policies.
“We’d be really wrong to ignore the implications of those feelings, because what we’re seeing is voters who are really desperate for solutions,” Clark said during her annual State of American Business address on Thursday.
A “growing number of them are willing to consider alternatives to the status quo, willing to throw out capitalism and try something completely different,” she said at Chamber headquarters, located across Lafayette Square from the White House. Dozens of business executives — including JPMorganChase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon and Ross Perot, Jr., founder and chairman of Hillwood, were in attendance.
Dimon, in a separate conversation with David Rubenstein, co-founder of the Carlyle Group, said uncertainty across the world was a top concern.
“The biggest unknown is geopolitics,” he said.
He also said the nickname for regulatory red tape ought to be blue tape: “The Democrats love that crap.”
Dimon said he favors one of the Chamber’s top policy priorities: overhauling federal permitting rules for infrastructure and other projects. The Chamber is leading an effort for legislation to speed the approval process for those projects.
Clark, in her remarks, did not offer specifics on the lobbying group’s plans for the midterm elections, and kept her focus on a larger vision for business and policy as being at a crossroads 250 years after the nation’s founding.
Pro-growth policies, she said, would embrace artificial intelligence technologies and to lead the world in “smartly regulating it.”
She also mentioned one of the group’s longstanding priorities of taking on trial lawyers, saying the Chamber aims to stop the trial bar, which she said drives up prices for American families. Her comments echo both parties that have increasingly prioritized affordability.
The annual address comes as the group has sought to regain its influence mojo and repair stained ties with Republicans in Trump’s second term, including with the hire ex-Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill), who joined in 2024 and set out remaking the chamber’s lobbying team.
Congressional Republicans and Trump officials have offered positive comments about Davis, though some in the GOP say they still are skeptical of the business lobby’s influence compared to previous years.
“When I was the coalition director for the House whip 20 years ago, getting the Chamber to key vote a bill meant a base of 213 Republicans would automatically vote yes,” said Sam Geduldig, CGCN Group’s managing partner. That was no longer the case as of last year, he said.
The Chamber appears to be making inroads with the most important Republican in DC, even if others remain skeptical. In the throes of debate over Republicans’ sweeping tax and spending measure, President Donald Trump shared an op-ed by Neil Bradley, the Chamber’s executive vice president, chief policy officer, and head of strategic advocacy.
Heading into next year’s elections, the Chamber plans to keep the focus on selling the tax cuts and talking about economic growth in congressional districts, Davis said in an interview last year with Bloomberg Government.
“Number one, we can’t quit talking about the success of the tax bill,” Davis said then.
https://news.bgov.com/bloomberg-government-news/us-chamber-ceo-warns-frustrated-voters-turning-from-capitalism Wikipedia unveiled new business deals with a slew of artificial intelligence companies on Thursday as it marked its 25th anniversary.
The online crowdsourced encyclopedia revealed that it has signed up AI companies including Amazon, Meta Platforms, Perplexity, Microsoft and France’s Mistral AI.
Wikipedia is one of the last bastions of the early internet, but that original vision of a free online space has been clouded by the dominance of Big Tech platforms and the rise of generative AI chatbots trained on content scraped from the web.
Aggressive data collection methods by AI developers, including from Wikipedia’s vast repository of free knowledge, has raised questions about who ultimately pays for the artificial intelligence boom.
The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that runs the site, signed Google as one of its first customers in 2022 and announced other agreements last year with smaller AI players like search engine Ecosia.
The new deals will help one of the world’s most popular websites monetize heavy traffic from AI companies. They’re paying to access Wikipedia content “at a volume and speed designed specifically for their needs,” the foundation said. It did not provide financial or other details.
While AI training has sparked legal battles elsewhere over copyright and other issues, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales said he welcomes it.
“I’m very happy personally that AI models are training on Wikipedia data because it’s human curated,” Wales told The Associated Press in an interview. “I wouldn’t really want to use an AI that’s trained only on X, you know, like a very angry AI,” Wales said, referring to billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform.
Wales said the site wants to work with AI companies, not block them. But “you should probably chip in and pay for your fair share of the cost that you’re putting on us.

I am traveling to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his team at this crucial time in the history of the Middle East.
The goal is to build on the historic opportunities created by President Trump’s unprecedented leadership, to stand up to evil, and to support the people who are sacrificing for freedom.
The Trump-Netanyahu alliance has thus far been one of the strongest partnerships in the history of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and I am hopeful it will pay dividends in the near future.

Update
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he met with Trump in the White House on Thursday where he protested U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and urged an extension of health care tax credits.
In a statement, Schumer’s office said he told Trump that ICE raids are “terrorizing communities” and he must pull the agency out of U.S. cities.
Schumer also used the meeting to urge Trump to push Republicans to support a three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits, according to his office. The subsidies expired Jan. 1.
Trump had requested the meeting with the Democrat from New York to discuss a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey. Schumer asked the administration to release its hold on roughly $18 billion to fund the project.
The White House budget director announced the hold on funds on Oct. 1, the first day of last year’s government shutdown.

Homeland Security wants to know who’s anonymously posting about ICE - politico
https://archive.is/20260113205904/https://www.politico.com/newsletters/digital-future-daily/2026/01/12/homeland-security-wants-to-know-whos-anonymously-posting-about-ice-00722654The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has been meticulously documented through smartphones — most recently, in the anonymous bystander videos of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shooting Renee Good in Minneapolis.
The Department of Homeland Security, under Trump, has argued that recording and publishing images of its officers while on operations is a crime that threatens officials’ safety. As DHS tries to crack down on accountability videos, and as protests against ICE escalate, the ability to post videos of ICE anonymously is being challenged in a California court this week.
On Wednesday, a judge for the US District Court of the Northern District of California will hear DHS’s argument in a case that — though unrelated — could have repercussions for groups that have filmed and uploaded sightings of officers on social media over the last year.
The agency wants Meta to hand over the personal information of whoever runs Montco Community Watch, an anonymous Instagram account that posts sightings of ICE agents and arrests in Pennsylvania.
DHS argues that the account’s posts threaten to impede ICE enforcements. The anonymous Meta user is challenging the request as an assault on the First Amendment.
Advocates are watching the case closely, as it could determine the future for many more anonymous social media accounts documenting law enforcement officers.
“The ability to do this anonymously is key, especially in an environment where the government is threatening to take retaliatory action against people who are doing this kind of innocuous activity,” Steve Loney, a senior supervising attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania who is representing the anonymous account, told DFD.
DHS doesn’t consider its subpoena to be retaliation, writing in court filings that its request to Meta is part of an investigation on “the open organization of people to impede immigration-based investigations,” which it called “a serious threat to law enforcement safety.”
Turning the cameras on ICE has emerged as a vital tool for activists in many cities, who have used video to document potential abuse of power by law enforcement officials, and then used social media to spread the footage widely.
Secretary Kristi Noem has claimed that filming officers is an act of violence against ICE officers, threatening to prosecute “those who illegally harass ICE agents.”
Montco Community Watch is one of many anonymous social media accounts that were created as a response to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. In September, DHS sent a subpoena to Meta demanding the personal information of whoever runs the group’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, including their name, email address, phone number and IP addresses.
Meta’s policy is to inform users if authorities request their information. It told the owners of the Montco Community Watch that it would respond to DHS’s request with the details unless the group challenged the subpoena within 10 days of the notice.
(A company spokesperson said it reviews all requests individually, and that Meta pushes back on subpoenas it determines are unlawful. Court filings show Meta requested for more details from DHS in its subpoena before informing Montco Community Watch about the government request.)
The account owner filed a legal challenge to the subpoena in October, arguing that the request to unmask the group violated its First Amendment rights. That’s the challenge being heard this week.
“I believe that my anonymity is the only thing standing between me and unfair and unjust persecution by the government of the United States,” the account owner said in a court filing.
In its own court filings, the Trump administration’s attorneys argued that the subpoenas were in support of an investigation on a “serious threat to law enforcement officer safety,” accusing the account of threatening ICE agents, though it did not specify which posts violated the law.
It argued the subpoena was not violating the account owner’s First Amendment rights, saying that DHS isn’t demanding the account stop posting, but is seeking the account’s information in a potential criminal investigation.
DHS did not respond to a request for comment.
In online culture where “the right to anonymity” and “the right to post” are often seen as linked, the case highlights the uncertainty about just what aspects of speech the Constitution protects.
Some free-speech advocates suggest that anonymity is key to the free exercise of speech: “When you are criticizing the powerful, there is an increased chance that you will face retaliation or intimidation,” Ari Cohn, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s lead counsel on tech policy, told DFD.
But the First Amendment’s protections for anonymity has clear limits when it comes to criminal investigations. An account advocating for hate crimes online wouldn’t fall under those protections from a subpoena, for example.
In Montco Community Watch’s case, its defense will rest on whether DHS’s argument that posting videos and images of ICE officers and warnings about arrests is considered criminal activity.
“If somebody says ‘there’s a police officer over there,’ that’s constitutionally protected. On the other hand, if he says that because he’s the lookout for a bunch of robbers, and he’s saying that so that they can better conceal themselves — then in that case, he can be punished as part of a criminal conspiracy,” Eugene Volokh, a First Amendment law professor at UCLA told DFD.
DHS also sent subpoenas to Meta for similar accounts based in California, but dropped its request in November. Loney warned if DHS succeeds, it could set a precedent allowing the agency to unmask more accounts online who are posting videos of ICE agents anonymously.
“If they can do it to MontCo Community Watch, they can do it to anybody,” he said.
Federal Agents Used a Battering Ram to Enter a Minneapolis Home Without Valid Warrant, Video Shows

Asked by a college student if Republicans ought to be more cautious about "abusing that power" when they control the federal government, Vice President J.D. Vance left no doubt that he's unworried.
"The left is already going to do it, regardless of whether we do it," he added.
https://reason.com/2026/01/15/quote-j-d-vance-on-the-nature-of-power/You'll have a hard time finding a more concise formulation of the will-to-power sentiment that has seized so much of the conservative movement in recent years. And this was no gaffe—Vance has said similar things on several occasions, and he posted a video of this comment to his official X account.
VP Vance on the potential for the radical left to misuse power:
“We cannot be afraid to do something because the left might do it in the future. The left is already going to do it regardless of whether we do it. That is the takeaway of the last 40 years.”
>>2648515yeah I misremembered it as being the hair. I had to hunt down the video.

"Heinous assassinations and other acts of political violence in the United States have dramatically increased in recent years," according to a National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-7) that President Donald Trump signed in September. The order described a "pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described 'anti-fascism.'"
Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo to federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies, containing directives on putting the order into practice. "To fully implement NSPM-7," Bondi directed "all federal law enforcement agencies" to, among other tasks, "compile a list of groups or entities engaged in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism."
To define terrorism, both Trump's order and Bondi's memo conflated violence with activity protected by the First Amendment. Trump listed, as markers of anti-fascist terrorism, ideological beliefs like "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity." Bondi, on the other hand, gave examples of "domestic terrorism" that included "organized rioting, looting, doxing," and "conspiracies to impede or assault law enforcement."
https://reason.com/2026/01/15/renee-good-was-a-casualty-of-trumps-order-against-political-violence/https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Bondi_Memo_On_Countering_Domestic_Terrorism_And_Organized_Political_Violence.pdfAssaulting law enforcement deserves little leeway, but "impeding" could be completely nonviolent, and it certainly doesn't rise to the level of terrorism. And yet within hours of Good's death at the hands of a government agent, federal officials—including Vice President J.D. Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—jumped to the conclusion that Good was a terrorist, seemingly based on nothing more concrete than that she was impeding an ICE operation.
"People who conspire to engage in actual criminal behavior should be investigated, arrested, and prosecuted," Adam Goldstein, an attorney with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), wrote in December about Trump's order and Bondi's memo. "But these memos aren't narrowly focused on groups that exist for the purpose of ideologically motivated violence, which act to bring about violence; they broadly condemn particular viewpoints and lay a foundation for a government watchlist of American groups which share those viewpoints."
Trump's order and Bondi's memo set up the exact scenario playing out, in which federal law enforcement officers treat nonviolent protesters as terrorists and expand their dragnet past what the Constitution allows.
As Reason's Jacob Sullum noted this week, the FBI's inquiry into the shooting seems focused on Good's anti-ICE activism—which, Sullum notes, "seem[s] irrelevant" in determining whether the shooting was justified: "At the time, Ross knew nothing about Good's background, so that information could not possibly have influenced his perception of the danger she posed."
The administration's written policy on left-wing protesters makes it more likely not only that more people like Renee Good will become victims of ICE, but that nonviolent activists will be ensnared in federal prosecutors' investigations.
"It remains unclear whether the [FBI] inquiry in Minnesota will include allegations of domestic terrorism," The New York Times wrote this week. "But if it does, Ms. Bondi's memo could give investigators latitude to move beyond the customary practice of focusing such investigations only on people engaged in or plotting violence."

"those students deserved it" and 20% "shrug I don't have opinion". I don't think there is any way those numbers happen if there is a video of ICE opening fire on a crowd of protestors. From some reason there is a degree of separation people feel from college students, maybe? All it takes is one poorly trained chud with a twitchy finger who hears some acorns.

How Trump is making China great again—and what it means for Europe
https://ecfr.eu/publication/how-trump-is-making-china-great-again-and-what-it-means-for-europe/Summary
Around the world, many people expect China’s—already considerable—global influence to grow over the next decade, and more now view Beijing as an ally or necessary partner.
For much of the world, America is globally influential and will continue to matter, but few people expect it to gain in influence.
In most countries, expectations of Trump are lower than 12 months ago. His first year back in power seems to have caused dramatic shifts of opinion in some places, including India and South Africa.
In Russia, more people now see Europe as an adversary, while views of America have softened. In China, the EU is held to be a power player that strikes its own stances distinct from those of America.
Europeans are the world’s chief pessimists. They lack faith in the EU’s ability to deal on equal terms with the US or China and worry about Russian aggression and nuclear weapons.
European leaders should share greater honesty about where Europe stands in this post-Western, “China first” world in order to devise a successful strategy to navigate it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation_(film)Defamation (Hebrew: השמצה; translit. Hashmatsa) is a 2009 documentary film by Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir. It examines antisemitism, the way perceptions of antisemitism affect Israeli and U.S. politics, and explores the suggestion that claims of antisemitism are exaggerated or weaponized to stifle dissent against Israel. A major focus of the film is the Anti-Defamation League. Defamation won Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2009 Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

Filipino Noahides believe that Jews are a racially superior people, with an innate ability to access divinity. According to their rabbi mentors, they are forbidden from performing Jewish rituals and even reading certain Jewish texts. These restrictions have necessitated the creation of new, distinctly Noahide ritual practices and prayers modeled after Jewish ones.

>The Biggest Spy Scandal In American History
>In 1992, the biggest political spying scandal in American history was revealed after an FBI raid of the Anti-Defamation League's San Francisco office turned up thousands of private and classified government documents stolen from the FBI and police departments throughout California. It turned out that the ADL had been running a massive spy ring targeting American citizens, left-wing and human rights activists, and elected politicians all over the United States, infiltrating American law enforcement and politics at the highest levels. The ADL was caught red-handed bribing police in every major American city, and spying on congressmen, so why have you never heard of the ADL spying scandal? And why was the ADL, the supposed civil rights organization, spying on, infiltrating, and sabotaging human rights groups across the US? >>2648585The spanairds really did a number on filipino psycology i recognize the signs because they didthe same to my people

But unlike most other occasions when flagrant incidents of foreign spying have been discovered on American soil, the Trump administration did not rebuke the Israeli government, and there were no consequences for Israel’s behavior, one of the former officials said.

>>2648610the civil war, from the north's perspective, was about
preserving the union, without ending slavery. From the south's perspective, because they were paranoid, it was about
preserving slavery through secession from the union, to prevent a future free state majority which could lead to legislative emancipation through reformism. Basically, both sides were conservatives trying to
preserve something, the union, and slavery, respectively. But there was no abolitionist "side," there was only a few real abolitionists in the republican party, like Thaddeus Stevens, and thy were considered "cuh razy!!!!" by your moderate free soilers like Lincoln. Only once the South started the civil war did they make the unforced error which led to their defeat by a side with better productive forces (Northern factories). Leading to emancipation as a military strategy in 1863, since free black men would fight for the North. Make sense?

>Iranian group with bloody past winning over big-name Jewish backers- 2012 articleWASHINGTON – Three prominent Jewish activists – attorney Alan Dershowitz, former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler, and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel – have joined with other prominent people in a bid to remove a group with a blood-soaked history from the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations.
The names on the growing list of influential U.S. advocates to remove the Mujahedin-e Khalq, or MEK – known in English as the National Council of Resistance of Iran – from the list suggest an effort to give the bid a pro-Israel imprimatur.
On the record, the people involved insist there is no Israel element to what they say is a humanitarian endeavor to remove the movement’s followers from danger.
“I don’t see any Israel issue at all,” Dershowitz said in an interview, instead casting it in terms of Hillel’s dictum, “If I am only for myself, who am I?”
Off the record, however, figures close to the campaign use another ancient Middle Eastern dictum to describe the involvement of supporters of Israel: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
A source close to the effort to bring pro-Israel voices into the initiative cited reports that Israel has allied with the MEK, which reportedly maintains agents in Iran and in the past has published details of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
The organized pro-Israel community, however, has yet to sign on. One official at a pro-Israel group said pushing to remove MEK from the list without a full review could undercut efforts to keep groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah on the list.
“They’re listed as a terrorist group, and until the U.S. Government says otherwise, we’re not going to deal with them,” said the official, whose group otherwise counsels a tough posture against the Iranian regime.
The MEK, an Iranian exile group that some accuse of being a cult, has maintained a presence in Iraq since 1986, when Saddam Hussein welcomed it as a useful thorn in the side of his deadly enemy, Iran. From its border encampment, Camp Ashraf, it conducted operations against the Tehran theocracy. The MEK claims to have ended military activities in 2001.
Subsequent to the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that removed Saddam, Camp Ashraf disarmed as a condition of maintaining its presence in the country.
Now, in the wake of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, Ashraf’s 3,400 residents feel vulnerable to a hostile regime seen as closely allied with Iran. According to the Associated Press, an Iraqi army raid last year left 34 camp residents dead.
The United Nations wants to move the residents to a former U.S. Army base, Camp Liberty, but the MEK and its advocates say the site is equally insecure – and in severe disrepair and uninhabitable. Four hundred members of the group already have been relocated to Camp Liberty.
“The main issue is 3,400 civilians, without regard to what they may have done in the past,” Dershowitz said. “The United States made a promise to them.”
The effort is backed by an ideologically diverse group of prominent former government officials that includes U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Attorney General Michael Mukasey, and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.
In a column this week for the on-line newspaper The Huffington Post, Allan Gerson, a Washington attorney who served in various posts in the Reagan administration, cited Reinhold Niebuhr, the anti-totalitarian theologian, in asserting that the State Department has “lost its sense of humanity” in resisting moves to remove the group.
This week, Gerson and a number of other lawyers filed a request to a federal appeals court in Washington on behalf of the MEK, asking for the group to be removed from the terrorist list. In 2010, the court had ruled that the State Department must respond to the arguments in the MEK’s petition to be removed.
“Our focus is on reviewing the MEK’s FTO designation in accordance with the D.C. Circuit’s decision and applicable law,” Rhonda Shore, a State Department spokeswoman, said in a prepared statement. “At the conclusion of the department’s review, the decision will be made whether or not to grant the MEK’s petition to revoke the FTO designation.”
Advocates of removeing the MEK say it would facilitate the removal of the Ashraf residents to other countries, including the United States. At a conference on Saturday at Washington’s venerable Willard Hotel, speaker after speaker made the case for removal from the list. Giuliani noted that a number of European nations already had removed the group from their terrorist lists.
“I wrote a book on leadership, and one of the chapters says you have to stand up to bullies because if you don’t stand up to bullies, you encourage them and they take advantage of you,” Giuliani said. “Best example of that, of course, was the lead-up to the Second World War, [British Prime Minister Neville] Chamberlain and [German Chancellor Adolf] Hitler. We are reproducing history yet again.”
Speakers at the conference, organized by an advocacy group called Near East Policy Research, emphasized what they said was the inhumanity of keeping the Ashraf residents in danger. They also used the occasion to call for an end to the Iranian regime.
“It’s time for President [Barack] Obama to become Ronald Reagan and to look [Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] straight in the eye and call them what they are, an evil empire,” Giuliani said. “To do what Ronald Reagan did and point missiles at their city.”
Dershowitz, who announced at the conference that Cotler and Wiesel had joined the effort, said the crisis of the MEK followers stranded in Iraq was “part of a larger problem.” Dershowitz accused the Obama administration of “talking with two voices on Iran itself.”
Wiesel and Cotler did not return calls seeking comment by press time.
Opponents of removal point to MEK’s bloody past. Prior to the Islamic Revolution, the group, which had Marxist tendencies, is believed to have been behind a number of attacks on U.S. figures working with the regime of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. Then in 1981, the MEK is believed to have been behind two massive bomb attacks that killed dozens in the theocracy’s leadership.
Last year, Elizabeth Rubin, a New York Times Magazine contributor who reported from Camp Ashraf, wrote an opinion article criticizing the MEK’s advocates in the United States and calling the group “a totalitarian cult that will come back to haunt us.” She cited a RAND Corp. study’s suggestion that many of those at Camp Ashraf were being held there by the MEK against their will.
Opponents of removing the MEK from the terrorist list also say that the group’s alliance with the hated Saddam Hussein in the 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq War, means its support is virtually nil among Iranians.
“Iranians by and large have no love for this regime,” said Jamal Abdi, policy director for the National Iranian American Council, a group that favors diplomatic outreach as a means of defusing tensions with Iran. “The one group they despise more is the MEK, and the one group that can unite people in the regime’s favor is the MEK, so what the government of Iran has done is label all opponents as affiliated with MEK.”
Removing the MEK from the terrorist would play into that narrative, he said, and “undermines support” for democracy groups in Iran.

Is Trump actually likely to invoke the Insurrection Act? What would be the consequences?
>>2648640>this is my point. that anon was saying it wasnt about slavery no, they said something a bit more precise and a lot more correct:
>>2648194<The civil war wasn't about ending slavery initiallyThis is correct because, for the north, it wasn't about ending slavery, initially. It was about preserving the union. It only became about ending slavery after 1863. And their subsequent statement about the South being afraid Lincoln would end slavery doesn't contradict this. It's no different than reactionaries today thinking moderate liberals are Communists. Confederates were delusional and saw Abraham Lincoln as Nat Turner.
>>2648693>Is Trump actually likely to invoke the Insurrection Act? Pretty good chance
>What would be the consequencesShit happening
>>2648700But what sort of shit brother? I wanna know how close we are to the cool zone
>>2648693He's fucking threatened to do it on like 4-5 separate occasions and he still hasn't done it, I'm so tired of this chicken. I don't even understand what it would mean. There is already armed federal thugs marching around and the insurrection act let's him call up armed federal thugs of a different type? What is so spooky? asking genuinely
>>2648658You’re gonna have to be more specific
>>2648693>Is Trump actually likely to invoke the Insurrection Act? No because it would spell the end of the regime. Once you start threatening the controlled opposition you create a power vacuum that will be filled by actual non-controlled opposition. Democrats are the release valve for the center/left's political frustrations. If Republicans actually went along and tried to abolish the Democrats, the rank and file people won't just disappear. They'll move from public platforms to more clandestine methods of dissent, get more serious about their opsec, and maybe actually revolt when civility is no longer on the table.
>>2648705We’re already in the cool zone. This will lead to us going beyond it.

>>2648718I mean I genuinely hope he does because I really really wanna enter the cool zone but I have doubts even Trump is stupid enough to pull the one lever that might lead to his downfall rather than enjoying complete unchecked power where all he has to do is not touch the Democrats or cancel elections and the Amerigolems will continue doing nothing.

>>2648721>but I have doubts even Trump is stupid enough to pull the one lever that might lead to his downfall rather than enjoying complete unchecked power where all he has to do is not touch the Democrats or cancel elections and the Amerigolems will continue doing nothingI wholeheartedly believe he is simply too greedy to not pull that lever. He doesn’t have the patience for that, he wants to bully and loot now rather than later.
>>2648729>I wholeheartedly believe he is simply too greedy to not pull that lever.That but could dementia also be a factor similar to Reagan's later years?
>>2648711>>2648705>>2648700>>2648693Alright for those wondering about the insurrection act, in theory it lets the President nationalize a state's National Guard or call in the military to do civil policing in order to quell an insurrection. It's been a mixed bag of uses such as the Union using it to protect Black people in the South and quell confederate sympathizers and it was also used in the Civil Rights Era to protect school desegregation if I recall correctly. On the other side of the spectrum it was frequently invoked to quell labor disputes usually in the form of "The military beating the shit out of/shooting workers until they stopped striking."
Now, Trump personally believes it gives him a right to cancel the election. This isn't necessarily true in any legal sense, but he wants it as part of a larger project of declaring martial law throughout the U.S., which would allow for the suspension of Habeus Corpus (whereas the insurrection act suspends posse comitatus I believe)
If he invokes it, it would mean the military deployed to the streets as to enforce civil law. In practice picture I guess WalMarts guarded by guys with military grade equipment, shit like humvees rolling down the street, and troops being given orders to make arrests. It'd be in some ways a full militarization of American society.
Martial Law would basically just let Trump order whoever he wants arrested without trial. The Q-Anon folks have been obsessed about this for a while, they want Obama arrested and hanged on live television. Trump would undoubtedly go after basically anyone on the left because of that.
Of course there's one hiccup in that it'd basically rely on the top brass of the military going along with it, and I don't think a lot of them see either the need or the desire to essentially end American democracy for Trump.
>>2648710oh, spicy drama. I wasn't aware of that.

>>2648719Luxembourg only needs to one of it's supersoldiers and then it's over for the US.
>>2648729He's reaching the end of his life. Why not go out as the world's most powerful man?
>>2648737>>2648732>>2648729Something also worth mentioning is that previous psychotic reactionaries had diligent "handlers" to curb their worst excesses. Nixon would call generals up to demand we fire the nukes when he was drunk and they'd just quietly go to Kissinger and ask if he's serious only for the guy to tell them "Well just wait for him to sober up and if he still wants to end the world by tomorrow morning then we can do it." I'm sure Bush Sr. probably had similar moments with Reagan.
Trump 2 is with the guardrails off. JD only became VP because he said publicly he wouldn't have certified the election victory for Biden. Stephen Miller is basically obsessed with recreating the 3rd Reich (read Mark Milley's comments about how Miller was acting during the BLM riots, dude talks like Grima Wormtongue) and the only one who
might (and this is a big fucking "might") be Trump's retard handler is Rubio. But Miller gets a chubby whenever there's a possibility to go full fascist and so he'll be there to whisper in Trump's ear
>"They're mocking you sire, they think you're a coward, show them they're wrong." >>2648738>He's reaching the end of his life. Why not go out as the world's most powerful man?Because world still hasn't forgotten what the US did to Gaddafi and Trump's greatest fear is going out like that.
>>2648711Donald Trump is not a rational actor, and he's surrounded by sycophantic lunatics like Miller and Hegseth. He's a plundering egomaniac desperate to be the center of attention and be remember in history. He's absolutely going to do something stupid, and Americans are so placid that he could probably get away with having people gunned down in the streets of Minnesota. I've come to realize that you should take the crazy stuff Trump says seriously, especially if he repeats it numerous times over an extended period of time. Trump will invoke the insurrection act, and odds are he'll try to meddle in the midterms. And he'll probably try to stay in office to.
>>2648746the nobel committee must be fuming lmao.
>>2648746still says 'awarded to Maria Corina Machado'. whoops!
Trust me when I say Machado is the least reactionary and bootlicking venezuelan gusano. People that havent personally been around venezuelans cant even begin to imagine.
>>2648746I can never trust bogged women
>>2648733hm the US police is already so militarized that I fail to see how it would look different from the national guard mobilizations/ICE surges. They already have military humvees and all that stuff from the police right? I don't think it will be impactful in the way it was in the past in the sense of visually scaring people when they see soldiers. I suppose he get's more bodies to crackdown in more cities all at once and it makes the marital law, mass arrest option easier to accomplish.
>>2648752some still call her fake opposition, shit you not.
>>2648752>>2648755Damn I thought the opposition that was actually in Venezuela wasn't purely running on "sell everything to US" and wanted Maduro to stand trial in Venezuela? Was I misled? is the whole concept of Capriles/Gonzalez being the more popular moderate opposition false?
>>2648754If Trump had any brain he'd probably be aware that martial law actually is a threat to his administration. Eliminating democracy in the US means his "electoral mandate" no longer applies and the military leaders who swore loyalty to the constitution might actually pull a coup on him.
Of course this is entirely impossible to predict but, Republicans don't have enough support within the administrative state or the military to pull this off. There's enough resistance that a full military occupation could backfire pretty massively, with blue states choosing to retain their national guard forces in defiance of him, and the military might end up splitting into factions.
American Balkanization in our lifetime.

DOJ: Ban on mailing concealable firearms unconstitutional, can’t be enforced
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5691733-doj-opinion-handguns-usps/A nearly 100-year-old federal ban on mailing handguns through the U.S. Postal Service is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced, according to an opinion released Thursday by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The 15-page opinion concluded that a 1927 law, which made it illegal to use the Postal Service to mail concealable firearms, such as pistols and revolvers, infringes on the Second Amendment
>>2648754IIRC the national guard deployment was limited in part by the fact they couldn't actually enforce laws (hence many of them loitering around or picking up trash) but this would give them law enforcement capabilities, which is basically just asking for them to kill people.
Lemme explain, during the L.A. riots there was an incident where an LAPD officer looked at two marines and asked them to cover him while he was going around a house of some suspect or something. The marines asked:
>"Are you sure?"Guy said of course he was sure, so they then proceeded to stand up and just open fire on this poor fucker's house, miraculously no one was killed. "Cover me" in cop lingo basically just means "keep an eye out for threats", to the marines it meant provide covering fire.
Most of these guys aren't trained to actually enforce laws. The military is, broadly speaking, a lethal instrument. So what happens if in the course of taking over as law enforcement, they just start killing people en masse? Like if they see some kid waving around an airsoft they're probably even less likely than fucking cops not to draw on them. If they see some homeless guy screaming wildly they're probably even more likely to shoot. And let's say people get pissed and decide to protest having "shirt first, ask questions never" soldiers on the streets? Violence would likely erupt, Trump declares martial law, and then its time to just arrest all his political enemies who he'll claim are behind these "insidious attacks on our brave troops."

Yes it was a wealth transfer to multinational pharma corps but that's a separate matter from the lockdowns and vaccination itself. It's like telling people not to eat food because it's a wealth transfer to Monsanto. Absolutely idiotic.

>Caracas CODEL: Senators are eager to visit VenezuelaSenators left a meeting Thursday with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado with plans to visit her country — but differing views on when she should return herself.
Why it matters: President Trump's forceful removal of Nicolas Maduro continues to split the Senate.
The big picture: More than a dozen senators packed into the meeting and praised Machado's courage. But they disagreed over how Venezuela should transition to democracy — and when it would be safe for her to go home.
What they're saying: "That lady's got guts, right?" Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told Axios. "I think she needs to be in the country. I think she needs to rally the Venezuelans."
"She did indicate that she wants to go back as soon as possible — which I advised, in Spanish, is not a good idea," said Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.)."I just think it's dangerous," Gallego added.
"We would rather have respected leaders of the opposition take their time to go back and be safe."
Driving the news: Machado met earlier in the day with Trump and said afterward on Fox News that she gifted him her non-transferable Nobel Peace Prize.
"She didn't mention that, and neither did anybody else," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) said.
What we're watching: Senators are already discussing a potential CODEL to Caracas.
"I discussed maybe senators going down to visit to show support for the opposition," Gallego said. "I'll do the interpretation."
Scott is also on board. "I think it's important to go, but we've got to make sure it's safe.
"The bottom line: Democrats and Republicans are united in celebrating Machado — but not in embracing the Trump administration's approach.
"A large group of Democrats were fawning on Machado," Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said. "Yesterday, they were trying to say that what President Trump did was wrong."

Soldiers go into Minnesota and it's more of the same shit, they look the same as the ICE officers, the dems plead, "now we'll REALLY exercise our 1st amenmet, but definitely don't give him an excuse to escalate!!", the protestors are mostly unarmed and are just throwing rocks and water bottles, everyone's pissed, turns out the soldiers are slight more disciplined than chud ICE agents who got trained yesterday and manage not to shoot anyone and then everybody goes home in a few months when the next distraction is on the news. Not to be a doomer nothing ever happens, because I can see how something very well could happen but…
>>2648764>Most of these guys aren't trained to actually enforce laws. The military is, broadly speaking, a lethal instrument. So what happens if in the course of taking over as law enforcement, they just start killing people en masse? Like if they see some kid waving around an airsoft they're probably even less likely than fucking cops not to draw on them. This is somewhat incorrect. Soldiers have rules of engagement that forbid them from just indiscriminately firing on civilians without permission unless they are fired upon first. Of course in practice this isn't always adhered to but it's a huge issue with American law enforcement when former soldiers join the police and are appalled at how lax the rules are. It was one of the primary reasons Dorner did what he did from seeing the LAPD's constant abuses.
This is also why the National Guard occupations in various US states were pretty chill compared to these ICE occupations. I mean there were still Gravy SEALS that tried to larp as if it were a warzone, but most of them just wanted to get paid and go home. They aren't cops.
>>2648763>What is to be with trump supporters? Personally I think the only way to deal with this is mass censorship of right wing news orgs and forums, tear them apart piece by piece. Then make token arrests of the loudest and most anti-social Trump supporters and send them to be re-educated. Start aggressively taxing churches that served as propaganda arms for the Republican party. Then work on tearing down every goddamned confederate statue in this country (replacing most with John Brown and other abolitionists) and aggressively begin a propaganda campaign to revive the spirit of reconstruction by attacking the Confederate Cause, its leadership, and declaring once and for all that the civil war was about slavery and that the confederate states existed solely to perpetuate slavery, and that their being crushed mercilessly was a historically good thing.
WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s Republicans are divided over whether federal immigration officers should try harder to avoid hurting people following the shooting death of a community activist during an immigration raid, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey.
While 95% of Republicans continue to approve of Trump’s performance as president, the poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday suggests a significant slice of Trump’s backers are wary of his administration’s aggressive approach to immigration enforcement. The poll found American approval of Trump’s approach to immigration at its lowest point since he returned to office a year ago.
Poll respondents were asked to pick whether immigration officers should prioritize reducing harm to people even if this limits the number of arrests, or if they should be willing to use force even if there is a risk of serious injury or death.
Some 59% of Republicans favored a policy prioritizing arrests even if people get hurt, while 39% said officers should focus on reducing harm to people even if it means fewer arrests. Democrats were unified, with 96% focused on avoiding injuries and 4% saying immigration officers should focus on arrests. A handful of respondents did not answer the question.
>>2648763>>2648773See the thing is you need a real plan for de-Nazification of the USA. It's not enough just to deal with Trumpists. The whole imperial core is reactionary but the USA is absolutely the bourgeoisie of the bourgeoisie. I tried researching into the GDR but to be honest the Soviets really didn't do a good enough job there. How can you de-Americanize the USA once you've seized power is a real puzzler.
>>2648780Just once I'd love for someone on here to say "Well that's a load of horseshit for one."

>Caprilesnot on the exact same boat right now.
>Damn I thought the opposition that was actually in Venezuela wasn't purely running on "sell everything to US" and wanted Maduro to stand trial in Venezuela?many local opposition figures, yes. most in exile, don't.
eh, the zuloaga, the same family maria corina machado (zuloaga) comes from, is an old rich family that once tried to sell vast extensions of Venezuela's land (nicomedes zuloaga) to any global power that could stop the federalist revolution led by Ezequiel Zamora's intention to give more land to the farmers and peasants, and universal suffrage. so it's an old habit of that family. another nicomedes zuloaga in the late 20th century participated in a big corruption scandal, and got released by the neolib in power by the time.
>>2648755to some extent that's how they square off the incredible incompetence of venezuela's reactionary leaders, like how there's an anti-trump faction among the right wing. it's not that gusanos champion retarded failsons that are unable to establish a coherent opposition, it's that the chavistas are putting forward stupid people as opposition to look good.
>>2648582I have really found it odd that Ukrainian propaganda or info-space hasn't used "holodomor" at all in my view.
>>2648785She's giving "I sound out my words as I speak"
>>2648793>it's that the chavistas are putting forward stupid people as oppositionI guarantee you that the opposition's leaderships are handpicked in washington DC. that they are incompetent it's because of the eternal tribal conflicts inside their organization,
too many War chieftain, too little Indians: everyone thinks is the War chieftain. also, I am sure many of them are compromised and infiltrated by many Venezuelan intelligence agencies, or some other intelligence agencies. the idea of guaido was because he was a nobody, so he could travel more easily than his bosses, from voluntad popular.
>>2648396I still believe that 2028 will see the rise of a populist figure similar to a Huey Long get as big as 1992 Ross Perot and end up in a national three way race as it becomes Rubio vs (insert dem) vs this populist figure.
>>2648785I also saw them throw down banana peels and play "womp womp womp" on the trombone when ICE agents slipped on them.

>>2648766Chinese and Russian vaccines were conventional vaccines and guaranteed safer than the untested shit US pharma companies rushed out. Ben clearly wanted people to avoid the untested vaccines and had to give an economic argument because otherwise liberals would ruin his career by framing him as "anti-science conspiracy theorist."
>>2648840Ben was pro-vax I thought.
There's also still no evidence the vaccines were ever dangerous. It's likely US pharmas just copied the chinese/russian vaxx and rebranded it. Anti-vaxx nonsense is still nonsense even if you frame it as anti-imperialism. The stance of every health professional from the first world to the third world was "get whichever vaccine you have access to, they're all better than not being vaccinated" and I still think that's correct. American pharmas are evil but they aren't in the business of killing people with fake vaccines; that would go against their business model.
>>2648766>The vaccines literally saved livesI wasn't in the mood to reply, but this other comrade summarizes it well:
>>2648840though, I'd say, there was little advocacy for other vaccines in that crowd (jimmy dore, Max, Aaron, etc.) to be fair.
>>2648840they did do testing before rolling out nationally though. people volunteered to be first in line for human trials knowing full well they were the guinea pigs because they knew it was for the greater good. and there never turned out to be any proven side effects to the vaccines
>>2648862accept for Johnson & Johnson. That one sometimes gave people Guillaume-Barre syndrome if you were an old guy

Historically, Socialists in the US have always been unconditional advocates for free speech which few American Leftists today appreciate. Censorship is something we can't really afford to cynically pick and choose in the US, especially in the past 3 years since Oct 7th, where Biden's latter-day term and especially Trump's term now are directly invoking Left-of-Center rhetoric around antisemitism to justify the repression of protesters.
Besides, as far as the whole debate between free speech vs censorship goes, Leftists today just don't really appreciate the secret third option, which is
freedom of the press for the sole purpose of making the Red terror easier to pursue. Censorship merely makes the Right better at speaking in code. Even still, as long as we manage to have control of the most mainstream outlets of mass media, we can just drown them out anyways.That being said, I feel there's a lot of things that can, and should, be done to break the back of the Conservative movement, and a lot of it would be through creating a new Democratic,
Socialist Constitution to ensure that, through law, Conservatives and the bougies are either systemically locked out of power, or have their power equalized by proletarianizing the bougies and actually enshrining worker's democracy and the Rights of oppressed/marginalized groups.
Among many other things to include in that Constitution:
>Allow multi-party democratic elections in a unicameral legislature (with the caveat that advocating for any return to Capitalism is banned)>(Similar to how the IWW deals with membership) You can only have voting rights as long as you don't own capital, or be someone else's boss. If you are a boss, you have to immediately train your former subordinates in managerial functions to encourage worker's self-management before you can regain voting rights. (admittedly, the terms and conditions around that last part would need to be hashed out by an actual Socialist movement instead of just a single guy like me)>Freedom of religion, but with the caveat that if an individual congregation is confirmed, with proof, that they were either advocating for the arbitrary stripping of a group's Rights, or aiding and abetting a Conservative political organization, that congregation will be deemed a political organization and be dealt with accordinglyAnd a few other things that should be done, but might not necessarily be something to include directly in a Constitution, assuming that any of this would be done in the context of a violent confrontation like another civil war:
>Rank-and-file combatants of a Right wing faction must undergo re-education and, if need be, a literal socialization process>If any rank-and-file combatants are confirmed to have committed a crime against humanity upon an individual or community, they shall be tried by a jury composed of the individual, closest relative and/or the community directly wronged, with the power to decide punishments up to and including execution. If those rank-and-file combatants are confirmed to have committed genocide on a community, they shall be tried by a military tribunal (let's face it, they're getting the fucking wall at that point)>Open season on the organizers of Conservative organizations, be they Propagandists, Officers (political and/or military), or Theorists*1As a bonus, certain Centrist Democrats should be tried in court for war crimes or crimes against humanity, depending on their context, and sentenced from anything between permanent house arrest to execution, assuming any of them live long enough to be tried at all.
*1: The lines between these three roles can often blur for some individuals, but I feel the need to emphasize these distinctions because people put so much focus on guys like Ben Shapiro and the like as if they're theorists just because they write books. In reality they're propagandists and thus low hanging fruit compared to the theorists, who are actually deep in the thinktanks. Pic related
>>2648850>Ben was pro-vax I thought.He is and so am I.
>There's also still no evidence the vaccines were ever dangerous.Because they cut the tests in order to rush them out. The main issue is the mRNA vaccines should have had long term controlled studies on humans before administering them to the larger population. Instead they cut the studies short and liberals attacked anyone who criticized this as "anti-science" or "anti-vax."
>but they aren't in the business of killing people with fake vaccines; that would go against their business model.Not if they get legal immunity, which they did.
>>2648862But not long term testing, obviously. They would still be going if they did long term tests. They even stopped watching the control group they did have. so know we can't fully know the true long term results
Flashback:
It had been less than 24 hours. A healthcare CEO, one of the top ghouls for capitalism, had just gotten blasted on primetime in NYC. All the surveillance in the world couldn’t prevent homeboy from getting slimed out in Manhattan. No one knew the name of the assassin, but we all knew he was a hero.
Less than 24 hours had passed and HOUDINI? We already had a DJ mix ready to go. Already sampled the news clip. Put that CEO on a motherfucking tee shirt. Deny. Defend. Depose.—the words carved into the bullet shells became the title for the mix. You can listen to that mix here.
Why drill music? Because we dropping bodies, that’s why. Because for too long, it’s been the poor killing the poor over the scraps the rich leave us, and for once, it was the working class getting one on the rich. Instead of fighting each other, we killed one of them. And that’s big facts. And that’s the moral of the story.
They want us killing each other in the streets. They want us fighting each other for a sliver of dignity. They do not want us taking the fight to the master, the exploiter, the capitalist.
The streets spoke, and a healthcare CEO got his. Simple as.
Here's some key Erik Houdini quotes from the coverage to sit with.
"People aren't just ambivalent—they're celebrating. They see this for what it is: someone striking back. And that terrifies the system. Do you really think they want the poor—people who've been killing each other for scraps in the streets—to start looking at this and thinking, damn, that motherfucker got a lot of clout? Everybody loves this guy. The last thing they want is for this to inspire others."
"For decades, these ghouls thought they could poison the world, rake in their millions, and retreat to private islands, free from consequences. This killing shattered that illusion."
"This was intentional, deliberate, and aimed squarely at the top. The working class is restless, disillusioned, and increasingly unafraid to challenge those who profit from their misery. Decades of systemic neglect, greed, and corporate overreach have pushed people to the brink."
"This is bigger than one man. This is about the millions facing the same system, the same despair, the same crushing indifference. The regime can smear him, bury him, or even kill him, but they can't stop the truth from spreading: this system is unsustainable, and those it's destroying will not go quietly."
"This is a message. A declaration that the systems that exploit, crush, and profit off the suffering of millions can't operate unchecked forever. No one is untouchable. The walls of privilege aren't as high as the powerful think."
"The truth is, the state kills all the time. You just don't call it that when it's done by people with badges, gavels, and suits. You want to talk about violence? Let's talk about violence:
Violence is when you deny someone healthcare, and they die from a treatable illness because they couldn't afford the bill. Violence is evicting a family because rent costs are through the roof, leaving kids sleeping in cars. Violence is a knee surgery denied by insurance that leaves a worker crippled, their family homeless, their lives destroyed."
"When it's a policy that quietly kills a family, that's fine. That's orderly. That's acceptable. But when the violence comes back to them, suddenly it's a moral crisis."
"When the state kills, it's policy. When the people fight back, it's a crime. That's the hierarchy, plain and simple."
"The material conditions leading us here should be obvious. The elites—the capitalists and their enablers—have built an entire system predicated on the suffering of others. Their wealth, their power, their yachts and ski trips, all depend on millions of people grinding themselves into dust just to scrape by. These elites have insulated themselves for decades, convincing themselves that their suffering subjects either worship them as "job creators" or fear them as untouchable gods. But what happens when that insulation fails? What happens when those who suffer realize they have nothing left to lose?
"Imagine their lives. They can't go outside without bodyguards. They can't vacation without paranoia. Every ski instructor, every deckhand, every waiter, every driver—they side-eye them all, wondering who might take their shot. Who might decide, in a moment of desperation, to shove a knife between their ribs? The irony is, for all their power, they're prisoners of the fear their wealth creates. That's the reality they live in, and it's not as comfortable as they'd like you to think."
You guys need a new thread this one is full
>>2648047Yeah it's more likely that Europe goes the way of cold war South America with far right shithole governments that end up collapsing because they no longer have the capacity to imperialize and fund their corporatism. only then will the commies begin acting
