What ongoing efforts??

JD Vance is actually right -- Russia is not the biggest threat to Europe.

What's even bigger as a threat is irresponsible and infantile demagogues running for quick and easy-peasy solutions to matters of war and peace.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier:

"We must not freeze in fear, or as the English saying goes,let's not be deers caught in the headlights. It is clear that the new American administration holds a world view that is very different from our own. One that shows no regard for established rules."

◾️You've [Ukrainians]taken our weapons&you kicked their [the Russians']ass.That's why I'm very proud to have you as an ally

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

Gov. Hochul will have to remove the Mayor. This is unconscionable.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Fuck off.

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

Please consider sharing.

New York, NY - New York City Comptroller Brad Lander released the following statement: "This morning, my financial team shockingly uncovered that President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally executed a revocation of $80 million in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from New York City's bank accounts late yesterday afternoon. This is money that the federal government previously disbursed for shelter and services and is now missing. This highway robbery of our funds directly out of our bank account is a betrayal of everyone who calls New York City home.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

• The White House t @WhiteHouse • 7h "If the people cannot vote and have their will be decided by their elected representatives, by the form of the President, the Senate, and the House, then we don't live in a democracy; we live in a bureaucracy." -@ElonMusk CSPAN C-SPANI @cspan ... Q: "Your detractors...say that you're orchestrating a hostile takeover of government and doing it in a non-transparent way. What's your response to that criticism?" Elon Musk: "The people voted for major government reform and that's what people are going to get." Legality and Legitimacy: The people can only respond yes or no. They cannot advise, deliberate, or discuss. They cannot set norms, but can only sanction norms by consenting to draft sets of norms laid before them. Above all, they also cannot pose a question, but can only answer with yes or no to a question placed before them ... In terms of its significance, the process is no longer an election, but rather a plebiscite (Schmitt, 2004 (1932], p. 90).

Here's an example just from today of how closely Elon Musk is aligned to ideas propagated by Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt.

Musk says that people vote for elected representatives who "decide their will." Nothing else matters. (no courts, no bureaucracy)

Schmitt says...exactly the same thing.

Look at that. Shaotran already knew Musk when he was building the ballot software program.

They built the program for a hackathon (at Georgia Tech) that Musk sponsored.

Blocked.

Why is President Musk holding court at the Whitehouse with Primeminister of India Modi?

Shouldn't little X be in charge?
Where is tRump golfing?
