Chinas höflicher Überfall Im Herbst 1950 marschierten die Chinesen in Tibet ein. Appelle Tibets ans Ausland verhallten. Nach dem Aufstand 1959 zeigte China dann sein grausames Gesicht. Von W. Zank

Am 6. oder 7. Oktober 1950 überschritt die chinesische Volksbefreiungsarmee
an fünf Stellen den Fluss Jinsha:

Opening of West Kennet Long Barrow

West Kennett Long Barrow, July 2023. #TombTuesday

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

#Newsnight

Trump would not be treating half the country (well, more than half, but half of all voters) this way were it not for the Electoral College.

It's an artifact of slavery and it has got to go.

Podcast: Kriegsgefangene – Die Rückkehr der Zehntausend Im Herbst 1955 gibt die Sowjetunion die letzten deutschen Kriegsgefangenen frei. Zehntausend Menschen, die Moskau beim Besuch Adenauers als Kriegsverbrecher bezeichnet hatte. Ab dem 7. Oktober kommen ...

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

At the “national” October 7th memorial in Tel Aviv organized by families of casualties. Tens of thousands (at least) here and many more watching the broadcast which will start at 9:30 Israel time, in 4m.

Just like the dot-com boom, you can believe the underlying technology is real and important, and still realize that the market has gotten way ahead of realistic expectations.

Here are the 10 states that will see the highest premium increases for families that lose tax credits if Republicans refuse to act.

West Virginia 387%

Tennessee 320%
Mississippi 314%
Texas 289%
South Carolina 285%
Alabama 284%
South Dakota 235%
North Dakota 234%

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

“Den enkelte indvandrer arbejder 11% mere end i 2008. Den udvikling er danskfødte 18-59-årige ikke i nærheden af, viser ny analyse fra Rockwool.”
“Den stigende beskæftigelse blandt indvandrere er ikke kun drevet af, der kommer flere til landet.” @jacobarendt.bsky.social

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

October 7: #OTD in 2006 (on Putin's birthday; he turned 54) Russian investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya was murdered.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

“Don’t ever challenge my integrity,” says woman who took a $25,000 ‘contribution’ from Donald Trump and then decided not to investigate Trump University™️ when she was Florida AG.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan.

MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.

Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

We see you.

From Epstein to health care cuts, it's all one story.

Republicans are running a billionaire protection racket.

For the third consecutive day, the drone-hit marine oil terminal in occupied Feodosia continues to burn. The fire has spread to adjacent storage tanks.

This would be insanely stupid even if it were legal. "Come work for the federal government, where you randomly won't be paid whenever Congress is dysfunctional." What a recruiting poster.

The entire administration is "new legal analysis."

Is the President a King? Yes, according to new legal analysis. Can we fire civil servants, impound funds and eliminate agencies? *Touches earpiece* Yes, according to new legal analysis.

The shame is that SCOTUS has gone along with much of this.

Trump’s Immigration Push Diverts U.S. Agents From Drug, Money and Sex-Crime Cases Federal investigators are resigning, and morale is low, as they juggle complex cases and detain migrants.

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded.

“A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected.

“Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed”

Everyone who advocates for turning the UK into the UAE assumes they'll be the one with a marina penthouse rather than the guy working on a building site in 50c heat

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

Look at what they have to face

Looks like more people are getting on board with the message!

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
