The US administration's rank hypocrisy and ignorance is breathtaking. Do they not realise how much damage they have done in three months to their overseas reputation and potentially the American and world economies! Perhaps they don't care but that is simply crass stupidity.

I believe the damage is the point. I refer you to the "Dark Enlightenment" of Curtis Yarvin, darling of the TechBros. Trump may not have a clue about this, but I can bet Musk, and his minions do, and they know exactly what they are doing.

It might be good, if we, the people, were to come up to speed on where they want to take us, or we will continue to fight prior forms of dictatorship, while the new one slips its noose around our necks.

Call me naive but since Musk has been ‘at it’ his billions have been slashed (and it’s nothing to do with the Chinese flooding the market with cheap EVs) and an intelligent budding dictator is not going to be happy with mud trawling performance of his business. I am not familiar with Curtis Yarvin so can’t cross that particular tee I’m afraid but I’ll get up to speed

They know exactly how much damage they are doing. While DJT might not understand - ignorant & uninterested - be sure that Miller is groaning with delight with each thrust of take down America.

I'm relieved that most functioning democraties in Europe and the rest of the world are uniting, and taking steps to limit the damage the US government is doing to their own people and abroad.

The EU, and UK are doubling down on stamping out freedom of expression, including arresting journalists for writing anything positive about Palestine. I am anything, but relieved by that.

It’s just so much, the magnitude of all this unrelenting craziness leaves you feeling in a strange type of way; you’re shocked and flabbergasted and as you acknowledge that all this is really happening and at the same time, you’re feeling shell shocked and unable to cope, and you’re hoping that maybe, just maybe, there’ll be a way out. What a traumatizing time we’re living in.

Making you feel that way, is their objective. They hope it will render you, us, impotent to challenge them. Let's prove them wrong.

DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.

Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration. Let's make that all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide.

I'm curious if the mayor in Michigan that encouraged others to vote for trump has any influence to work on peace talks for Gaza and Israel?

We cannot allow Israel to escape the legal consequences of their war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.

They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Hind Rajab Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution.

You might find meaningful to watch the recent interviews that Glenn Greenwald did on his Rumble platform, and Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah. It was very informative.

Here's a petition calling for accountability for the arrest of Ali Abunimah in Switzerland:

I wrote about the situation at Columbia with them bowing down to Trump, and I used the genocide word. I was inspired by you all at Zeteo.

We are like a little dog, scared out of our wits, because of all the noise from the fireworks on New Years eve. We whimper and hide under the kitchen sink, looking for our owner to please save us.

The noise and the confusion is supposed to scare you.

You are supposed to sit in a corner, wringing your hands and think that you can not do anything.

We will have to do it ourselves.

Speak up, call your political critter, form groups for help and advice.

Some of us can handle this alone, but most can not.

Start now, while you still have some time.

Yes I agree.

And dont bow to whynging cries of " antisemitism " in the case of the Gaza Holocaust.

Stand up for those pleading for help for the Palestinians, themselves named "security riskes" by the intellectually underpriveleged, and marked for deportation.

The palestinians, for some unknown reason , are marked for extinction.

Lets NOT forget that.

No Phil, They dont know what damage they do.

And Yes it is crass stupidity.

It took me a long time to fully understand

That there are NO right wing intellectuals. I did a painting about it .Called " Intellectual Suppositries. In reference to an Australian Prime Minister, who, among other things, isa global warming denier, and who is basicly a simpleton with low IQ. but, a law degree,

The combination of which led him into politics. as it does.

Any question that we're now living in an autocracy that seeks to destroy our democratic systems and institutions?

Mehdi, I can't find anything on Congresswoman Jayapal's website or from calling her offices that mentions the civil disobedience training she mentioned several times in her interview with you. Can you circle back with her on it and post the status?
