Even #RollsRoyce in #Derby is scared of the US.
Has nobody got any backbone, or was it just somethingwash like everything else companies pretend they support?

"Republicans are in the process of shutting down our government, our military is in our streets, perceived enemies of the crown are being prosecuted, our FBI is firing “disloyal” people at will, and the bedrock of any Democracy, our vote, is under attack.
Fascism is here.
Just don’t expect it to be reported that way."

"Hegseth also said the rules of engagement would be reviewed. 'We untie the hands of our war fighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement. Just common sense, maximum lethality and authority for war fighters.'”

"They flew our top military brass in to get buy-in for their plan to declare war on American citizens. …
We are witnessing the authoritarian takeover of the nation by a duly elected president who no longer wants to bother with dissent, protests or even the First Amendment."

"Trump calling on our military leaders to use U.S. cities as 'training grounds' for his latest attack is one of the darkest days in American history."

"Critics are now raising concerns that Hegseth, by linking his religion to the most powerful fighting force on the planet, may be running afoul of the U.S. Constitution."

"Even in an administration that has made defending religion a core concern, Hegseth has stood out by publicly advocating his own brand of conservative Christianity — one tied to Idaho pastor and avowed Christian nationalist Doug Wilson."

"President Donald Trump used his time at the podium to say that he instructed Hegseth to use American cities as “training grounds” for the military.
Let’s repeat that: The president of the United States told his Secretary of Defense to use American cities as training grounds for the military."

"Trump’s address was, in a word, insane. Those of us who pay attention to his comments know that he is in rapid decline, but this performance and the one recently at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service really underscore how severe it is. His inability to maintain even a semblance of attention now is startling."

"The American left: 'They’re really bad. They’re bad people.' Again, he’s talking about Americans here.
His own domestic political opponents: 'They’re vicious people that we have to fight, just like you have to fight vicious people. Mine are a different kind of vicious.'
American journalists: 'sleazebags.'
Residents of American inner cities: 'animals.'”

"This is not normal. It’s dangerous af. …
Trump was open about how he wants the military to engage with civilians: He said that 'quell[ing] civil disturbances' is 'going to be a big thing for the people in this room.' …
The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. They now understand how Trump intends to use their forces."

"President Trump did not have many bad things to say about America’s foreign adversaries. He spoke about Vladimir Putin in largely neutral terms (only saying he was 'disappointed' in him) and barely mentioned China.
He did, however, speak with great moral clarity about certain classes of Americans whom he views as a grave threat:"

"Hegseth is probably the most openly Christian nationalist true believer in the entire Trump administration (Russell Vought may be tied with him). He always brings Jesus to the war party. Because, of course, in the theology of Christian nationalism Jesus is a Warrior. It may well be their central image of the Son of God — a bloodthirsty, revenge-seeker with a sword in hand."

“'Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision and ferocity of the war department,' Hegseth said. 'To our enemies, FAFO,' he said referring to the acronym for 'fuck around and find out.'"

From a geoeconomic standpoint, building a stable and functional relationship between government and academia is essential in every modern nation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/29/japan/trump-vs-universities/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #donaldtrump #universities #education #dei #research
#JimmyKimmel was suspended from his show this week following comments suggesting that fans of #CharlieKirk were trying to capitalize on the conservative activist’s assassination [they are]. Federal Communications Commission [#FCC] Chairman Brendan Carr called the remarks “truly sick” & suggested his agency would look into them.
Carr answers to #Trump, who’s already on record as *disliking* [despising] Kimmel’s comedy.

2 companies that operate ~¼ of #ABC #affiliates nationwide, #Nexstar Media Group & #Sinclair Broadcasting, also said they would not air #Kimmel’s show.
#Disney took a step last Dec to avoid a confrontation w/ #Trump by paying $15M to settle his *defamation* lawsuit against #ABCNews & #GeorgeStephanopoulos. It also made moves to dismantle some of its #DEI practices, including removing references in its annual report to its Reimagine Tomorrow program aimed at “amplifying underrepresented voices.”
Citing concerns about DEI, the U.S. Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states.
“How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?”
