👇🎯 Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"
NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.
the fact that they saw Polanski as not being punished despite fleeing to France -- the fact that his social circle did not hold him accountable -- finally makes me understand why the elite media is insane about left activism at elite colleges: nothing anyone else can do to them matters.

Organizing allies and trading partners in a buyers club for minerals to diversify away from China would have been a hell of a lot easier if US hadn’t antagonized friends with tariffs and threats. Now unclear if this can work.
The US seeks price floors with allies to build ex-China mineral supply chains.

If US allies and trading partners start pricing US political risk alongside Chinese leverage, Western minerals coordination will get much harder to sustain.

Is the US posing a hidden risk in the West’s critical minerals strategy?
The Trump administration’s recent official guidance on supply chain vulnerabilities related to critical minerals reached a striking conclusion. US policymakers are acknowledging that the United States...

Those are extremely worrying red lines and mean that Canada and Europe can't just go back to treating the US as a natural ally.
And the trend goes both ways, by the way.

The US government is telling Americans to hate Europeans and Canadians. And many have dutifully changed their opinions.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Burner phone not connected to WiFi to make calls;
Separate camera to record (can be on your person);
Turn off biometrics & faceid;

And more

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Europe should acknowledge up front that there is no amount of asking nicely that is going to stop them doing this, it’s literally a core part of their national defence strategy but that this opens the door to actively interrupt and interfere with MAGA in the US & they would be insane not to do that
America is repurposing US foreign assistance into US propaganda assistance.

The US administration intends to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe (as if they’d not enough unrestricted funding yet), while the EU cuts its funds to NGOs

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.
