After the Trump envoy for everything's latest pilgrimage to Moscow to smile and cosy up to his favourite war criminal and dictator, read our @theneweuropean.bsky.social profile of Steve "Putin's a super smart guy" Witkoff ⤵️

It took Trump less than 24 hours to “turn a government shutdown into a weapon wielded against the civil servants he once praised and the opposing party he has long derided,” Toluse Olorunnipa and Jonathan Lemire report.
A Government Shutdown, Weaponized
The president is boasting about doing things to Democrats that are “bad for them and irreversible by them.”

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Understand that the Reichstag Fire—the faked emergency Hitler used to seize power—is happening right now in America.

Trump and his goons are lying about crime and who they are arresting to provoke the violence they will justify martial law with.

It's the fascists' final maneuver to end democracy.

Things are accelerating. The end of our democracy and start of the Trump dictatorship isn't happening at a consistent pace—nor is it intended to.

The way they end America is to move so quickly that neither institutions nor the masses can react in time.

I'm not sure democracy makes it to Christmas.

The framing of billionaire philanthropist George Soros as a sinister 'Deep State' mastermind echoes ancient libels of global Jewish domination. Now he faces threats of criminal charges in a campaign reeking of antisemitism.

Musk’s X is ‘go-to platform’ for antisemitism, study finds. Ten “antisemitism influencers” accounted for 32% of all antisemitic posts. One of the accounts has 2 million followers, while others have hundreds of thousands. Let's name them! #ConspiracyWatchGlobal

Fitch has downgraded France's 🇫🇷 credit rating to its lowest ever, citing political instability and parlous public finances. Yet chaos merchants on far left+far right, and even centrists refuse all consensus on tackling the debt🏔️

“A row of men lean against the metal shutters that keep them out of Westminster tube station, as they piss through the bars directly onto the steps on the other side. Nearby a furious man in his early 30s yells ‘bring the cocaine here now, mate’. It is not yet 2pm.”
Tommy Robinson’s march was a drunken, coked-up mess
He claimed the world was watching, but most of London barely noticed - and much of what was on view was appalling

I spent much of yesterday at the Tommy Robinson march. I couldn’t find a way to write about it that didn’t sound contentious and maybe even condescending – so I didn’t try. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

A major issue with talking about Trump's health is that the warranted speculation gets mixed up with conspiracy theories that he faked his assassination attempt in Butler.

The WH is very good at hiding his health issues and putting down a fog of propaganda. That doesn’t mean Butler was staged.

I hope everyone pushing the "he's dead/he had a massive stroke/he can't speak/he can't stand/he's resigning/he's at Walter Reed" nonsense feels appropriately ashamed. He looks and sounds his normal level of spent.

Ah! Well, nevertheless

In France 🇫🇷 there are planned mass protests and general strikes, barely days into 'la rentrée' work/school new year. All egged on by demagogues on the extremes of the right and left, like Le Pen or Mélenchon, with evidence of direct Russian interference in the informational online war. My report ⤵️

Fuelling the most vicious antisemitic conspiracy theories about 'Jewish control' of the 'Deep State' and the world. Will Trump Ambassador to France Charles Kushner protest about rank encouragement of antisemitism?

Trump attacking George Soros is a good reminder that my book JEWISH SPACE LASERS includes a chapter about how a right wing disinformation campaign turned Soros into the 21st century version of the Rothschilds - the rich Jews you could blame for all your woes.
