Giving up on attacking Greenland, home to 56,500, Trump now wants to attack Iran, home to 93,000,000.

That is more than twice the population of Afghanistan, which Trump pulled out of.

So why start a new forever war?

Like in Venezuela, Trump is not there to help the people. If the deeply disturbed, evil regime will give him a cut of the oil profits, they can keep killing and torturing their own people.

This is an all for profit mob shakedown with the backing of the US military.

Yeah. It's not Trump i am worried about. It's the military "going along" that really scares me. Everything about the USA is SO screwed up surreal.🤯
Not to mention leaders of countries (former allies and others) around the world acting as if that superpower is not an abyss of unpredictable, violent chaos now. 😱
It may has to do with the power of the #clubofoligarchs #digitalinfrastructure #media
Don't understand our (mass)media anymore either. #journalism

@randahl I finally got around to watching https://youtu.be/jLwHQIiL6gU?si=sopCHOa7P9LACQxO

Excellent work. Almost made me feel hopeful, which is a feeling i don't quite trust when it comes to politics these days 😬

Great video. Thank you.
Although i have to disagree in case of the conclusion.
Hitler didn't have the support of a #ClubOfOligarchs which control almost all of the (at least digital)Infrastructur globally.
Just imagine what happens when the Tool Trump has "done it's function" and the #project2025 *starts* to use this Clubs power.
Switch of Cloudservices unless..
Cut of webaccess of countries unless...
....

What happens to ICC judges now can happen even at another scale...

Finally! Europe has a politician with a spine:

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez is a signatory to the strong criticism of Trump’s illegal intervention in Venezuela, and stressing that Trump taking over Venezuelas natural resources is incompatible with international law.

Btw. it's interesting which media is focussing solely on the Maduro figure and the court now - instead of staying on focus on the lawless #project2025 (with Trump as a posterfigure) actions breaking all laws possible, incl. UN Charta.
Trump (i believe) is still just a narcissistic, egomanic tool way to good in "flooding the zone with shit" to replace him now.
Considering the combined power of the #ClubOfOligarchs i really hope democracies will overcome all this.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

@Mer__edith
It is, to me, even more concerning how no one (none of our elected deciders anyway) seem to realise how powerful the #clubofoligarchs is. None of any nations matter at all when said club decides to (seriously) *use* that power.
Seem to be a different topic? Imho nope.
This AWS incident🤨 shows what *could* happen, giving just a glimpse of it.

Warum #Bluesky vor seiner ultimativen Zerreissprobe steht und aus Angst vor Regulierung komplett eingeknickt ist... also vor der MAGA-Blase.

Das "etwas andere" Netzwerk ist vor allen Dingen eines: eine durch VCs gepushte US-Plattform, auf die ich zu lange reingefallen bin.

Mein oeffentlicher Abschiedsbrief in Richtung der dortigen Community und mein Hallo in Richtung #Mastodon und #Fediverse

Gerne teilen. Danke 🙏

Bluesky – Der Traum ist vorbei

Es wird Herbst... und das nicht nur draussen, sondern auch in meiner Social Media Welt. Ich bin wieder an dem Punkt angekommen, an dem ich eine Plattform verlasse. Und diesmal ist es Bluesky – diese einst so verheissungsvolle Alternative zu Twitter, die ein sicherer Ort fuer Austausch, Kreativitaet und Respekt sein

@pallenberg
🤨 Aber "Apple - Spotify - Google - Amazon" ?
Also im Grunde dann lieber direkt beim #ClubOfOligarchs ?
Schon klar. Irgendwo muss das Veröffentlichen ja passieren und von irgendwas muss Mensch ja leben.
Aber widerspricht das nicht auch der Argumentation im Blog?🤔

Reading the shocked reactions that Apple and Google removed ICE warning apps from their stores, I think that more should probably read about the role of IBM during the holocaust. Can we please finally get rid of the fairytale of social corporate responsibility in big tech?

Makes me always wonder if "they" haven't seen the #ClubOfOligarchs very close to him at his inauguration.🤨
They were there for a reason. Or rather say Billions of...
Am not surprised at all. Considering the amassed wealth and possibilities of that club i expect a lot more to come.😱

So no need to point to historybooks in this case at this point.
