@ZhiZhu @pluralistic Absolultely. We gave US companies legal protection, and then that was used to hit us in the face, with threats of hitting us further.Nobody else than Cory Doctorow seems to notice though, that the continuation of these threats rest on that we do not roll back the legal protections..

@PeggyStuart #Trump: "The Pope is endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people."Trump is going after the #Pope again. Why, because it went so well for Trump the last time?! The Pope is a beloved figure. Trump? Not so much.https://bsky.app/profile/peggystuart.bsky.social/post/3ml5ahd4bok22

*wheezing laughing*TPUSA held a rally yesterday in Terre Haute, Indiana, to try to pressure the GOP there to gerrymander for #Trump. Remember that state legislators resisted Trump's call for illegal redistricting.Anyway, four people showed up, three from the same family.https://www.notus.org/2026-election/indiana-state-senate-primaries-trump-power-redistrictinghttps://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-revenge-push-sputters-as-event-draws-crowd-of-four/ #Indiana #TurningPoint #GOP #MAGA

Republicans are counting on Democrats to play by the rules, follow the laws and take the high road. It gives Republicans an overwhelming edge because they can fight as dirty as they want while Democrats discuss the legality of even entering the ring.Democrats will never win while constantly discussing whether to bring a pillow to a gun fight.#republicans #MAGA #democrats #trump #iran #war #Midterms #middleeast #politics #oil #Israel #news

#LouiseArbour, who might be #Canada's next Governor General, was chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal. Wonder if #Trump will censure her the same way he did with #KimProst, another Canadian judge (on the #icc https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/louise-arbour-governor-general-9.7187976

@Nonilex Wot about the war against South American fishermen, does that also have a 60 day limit?

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic with another brilliant article:"Comrade Trump continues his unbroken streak of destroying the American empire's grip on the world, hastening the renewables transition, de-dollarizing global trade, and killing the world's suicidal habit of entrusting its digital life to America's defective, enshittified tech exports"https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/02/denazification/#no-more-mx-nice-lib #Enshittification #US #Trump #Tech #News #Press #World #Green #energy

@ChrisMayLA6 waiting for my one plane trip this year to get cancelled....I don't have a lot as I don't have the time to micromanage share trading, but I've decided to sell any shareholdings that I'm up or at least close to break-even. Reality has to eventually catch up with the stock exchanges and the cash is probably going to be more useful.

@Nonilex it has to stop soonAnd I don't mean with these fake shooters and TRUMPED up attacks. His own will turn on him and remove him. We'll be left with his and their wreckage

REAL DOCTOR demonstrates Trump's ACTUAL COGNITIVE TEST (would you pass?)#TheUnitedFrontShow#trumphealth #trump #cognitivetestTrump has been bragging about his cognitive tests again this week. He claims his doctors said he aced the cognitive test three times. But how difficult is it? In this video, we demonstrate the same cognitive test that Trump has taken.https://youtu.be/_TkPN4Sd8wQ?si=Oav2CGNtMXY254Le

We are still having elections and we are curb stomping the Guardians of Pedophiles at the polls. I am about to be protesting out in MAGAland in a taco costume and odds are good I'll be writing protest thread #102 just fine this evening.We can do this.

More proof that #Trump has more in common with ISIS than he cares to admit. Both destroy countless #Art treasures. In so doing, they deny our very humanity. https://theintercept.com/2026/04/30/arizona-archeological-site-bulldozed-border-wall/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter #Arizona

Tyrant #Trump is spending nearly $2 billion of taxpayer dollars to kill energy projects that could have powered millions of homes. This likely isn't legal.Why? So energy companies will only work on fossil fuel projects instead. Gee, thanks, oil lobby.Trump is doing everything he can to sabotage efforts to fight climate change - just as in his first term he tried to sabotage efforts to fight the pandemic.Put a Republican in a leaking ship, and he'll immediately start drilling more holes in the bottom of the boat.https://abcnews.com/US/wireStory/trump-administration-pay-2-companies-walk-us-offshore-132434353

Laut US-Präsident Trump sollen die USA am Morgen mit der Befreiung von Schiffen in der Straße von Hormus beginnen. Geholfen werde Schiffen aus Ländern, die nicht in den Krieg verwickelt seien. Für Teheran wäre das ein Verstoß gegen die Waffenruhe.#StraßevonHormus #USA #TrumpUSA wollen Schiffe durch Straße von Hormus geleiten

Merz zu den USA: "Ich gebe die Zusammenarbeit mit Trump nicht auf"Kanzler Merz hat bestätigt, dass die USA vorerst keine "Tomahawk"-Marschflugkörper in Deutschland stationieren werden. Einen Zusammenhang zu seiner Kritik an Trump gebe es dabei aber nicht.

Ein tödliches KontrollinstrumentFür die Is­la­mi­sche Republik sind #Exekutionen ein Mittel zum #Machterhalt, einzelne Men­schen­le­ben zählen nichts. Nach den Pro­tes­ten im Januar 2026 nimmt ihre Zahl zuVon Teseo #LaMarcaNachdem US-Präsident Donald #Trump im Januar noch „help“, also „Hilfe“, für die gegen das Mullah-Regime Demonstrierenden in #Iran versprach, spielt das Wohl der iranischen Bevölkerung in seinen jüngsten Äußerungen längst keine Rolle mehr. https://www.taz.de/!6175438
