No one is going to stop them. The #genocide continues. #FeloniousTrump and his associated business partners will build their beachfront apartments on the bones of murdered Palestinians. Israel will move on to further suppressionin adjoining countries like Syria, Lebanon etc. The dreadful tragedy of how the Nazis treated the Jewish people and many other minorities has been seized as a role model by Israel, USA, UK and some other countries. History is repeating itself in a much more dangerous way. The powerful members of the human species have learned nothing, except greed, hate, and bullying. 💔 #Gaza #Israel USA #UK Israel to expand offensive 'throughout most of Gaza' rte.ie/news/middle-east/2025/0

Our PM, #Starmer, is off to do deals with this POTUS, a convicted felon, many of whose supporters are disgusted and appalled by the video he shared.
A video that is utterly disrespectful and offensive to many in the Middle East, to their culture, their values, and to their society.
Our PM, Starmer, announced yesterday he would cut foreign aid and use the monies for armaments, munitions etc nicely described as ‘defence’.
Our PM, Starmer, appears to have thrown the UK lot in with that of #FeloniousTrump, and Netenyahu, and Russia, despite some soothing words towards Ukraine and EU.
Our PM, Starmer, continues to announce policies that impoverish the most disadvantaged in society, while failing to tax the wealthiest appropriately.
Our PM, Starmer, approves his health minister #WesStreeting dismantling the #NHS and reducing the staff even further.
The UK is in massive trouble as there is no difference between the policies of Labour, Tory, or Reform Ltd. All are right-wing shills supportive of #Musk #Trump and repressive regimes.

The Guardian · Trump faces Truth Social backlash over AI video of Gaza with topless Netanyahu and bearded bellydancersBy Oliver Holmes
Treehouse MastodonAnarchoNinaAnalyzes (@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes@treehouse.systems)Oh, I'm sure this ends well. https://www.commondreams.org/news/musk-treasury-access 'It's a Coup': Musk's DOGE Granted Access to Treasury System That Pays Out Social Security "In an op-ed published by MSNBC on Saturday, Owens went into greater detail about her concerns, outlining three reasons why Musk might want access to the Treasury payment system. He could use it to stop payments to certain programs in order to work around the courts' block on the administration's spending freeze. He could access the list of blacklisted federal contractors in order to boost his own or his friend's companies and harm his competitors. (One of the DOGE allies granted access to the payment system, Tom Krause, is also a Big Tech CEO who leads Cloud Software Group, according to The New York Times.) He could use it to reduce Social Security or Medicare payments as part of DOGE's goal of cutting $2 trillion in federal spending. Owens noted that Musk wasn't "chasing these cuts for their own sake. He's helping congressional Republicans attempt to pay for a new round of tax breaks for corporations and the ultrawealthy—including Musk himself." "It's nice to believe in a fantasy in which Musk and DOGE work alongside civil servants to improve technology and services for Americans and save a few bucks along the way. But all evidence points to the contrary," Owens continued. "The richest man in the world, whom no one elected to any government position, is seeking unprecedented access to confidential information, including information pertaining to his own business interests, and seems hell-bent on cutting off as much funding as possible for the programs that matter to the rest of us." I mean if I'm being honest, I don't think Owens criticisms or predictions of potential disaster go far enough. Yes, it's bad enough that a billionaire Afrikaner who literally believes billions of people are useless eaters who can and should be sacrificed for the goals of creating billions of "artificial minds" and escaping to Mars after rich people have burnt the planet to the crisp, has his fingers inside the payment system that supports America's most vulnerable people, and sure it's not at all good that Musk has access to information he can use to make himself even richer. But as long as you're committed to not actually calling Elon on a fascist, it's hard to understand the scope of what's just occurred here. For starters, there probably isn't a more identifying clutch of sensitive personal information than the Treasury Department payment system; Musk, a literal billionaire nazi supervillain, now has more personal information on the political enemies of the American fascist movement (read: anyone who isn't going for this Pork Reich bullshit) than the fucking FBI and we know for a fact he's a vindictive little fash muppet who absolutely delights in targeting people who criticize or oppose his frankly quite unhinged agenda. If Musk/Trump/America First want to target, detain, or even eliminate whole swathes of their political enemies and people the fash think shouldn't exist, they now have access to more than enough information to start rounding folks up and conducting political purges. Furthermore, and while this might not be "news" to folks who've been closely following this fascist movement and Musk's (successful) attempts to buy it, this makes it absolutely clear that the guy running this shitshow isn't an elected official at all - it's Musk. The fact is, a government is at its heart, a system of taxation and spending; if Musk and his allies in the tech industry now have their hands on the purse strings (and all the juicy data that entails) they are in all reasonable sense of the words, in charge of the government. Trump might have "won" an election in a rigged oligarchy, but the fascist wearing the pants in this arrangement is very clearly Elon Musk; a guy in a fascist death cult, who can't run a social media company, builds cars that burst into flames, and wants to eliminate vast portions of the media because they make fun of him for being the most divorced man ever. Given all that, I am once again asking my fellow Americans if they're sincerely planning to just let this all happen for four years on the off chance a party full of collaborators wholly owned by the same rich people that own Trump, may win a potentially hypothetical election in a rigged oligarchy. Or, are you ready to start becoming ungovernable and shut this shit down, knowing that there will be personal costs involved, the fascist police state will respond with violence, and the liberal establishment which is openly musing that they're happy to let you suffer under authoritarianism to teach you a lesson about not voting for them, will be of no assistance whatsoever and in fact will likely help the fash punish you. The choice is yours, and it's not a good one; but I still hope you choose wisely. #USPol #Fascism #Treasury #Musk #Trump #SocialSecurity #PoliceState #Coup #PorkReich #AmerikanMusik

@petergleick All that’s needed now is a massive drought for the summer, and then the farmers have no animals and no crops. Whose fault will that be? For cure #FeloniousTrump will not take the blame for the issue that he instigated. It’s shocking that he issues these ignorant decrees - what’s immeasurably worse is the people who carry out such orders, knowing the damage they will do. The real blame lies with them IMO. Trump cannot behave like this, if people do not carry out his orders.

Reading the list of horrors that are the Executive Orders being signed by #FeloniousTrump and which are to be dealt with within 45 days, it looks like it would be wise for other countries to minimise their interactions and trade with the USA for at least the next four years. Isolate this nightmare of an administration and take protective actions to reduce their toxic effects on as much of the rest of the world as possible. journa.host/@w7voa/11386611108

Journa.hostSteve Herman (@w7voa@journa.host)Here’s the list of executive orders that President Trump, so far, has revoked: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/

If TikTok [ByteDance] have any wit they will just cancel the USA, and let them fester without their App. They have the rest of the world pretty much to play with. Call his blackmail shit out, and don’t comply with it. It’s nothing more than a bully proposal - gimme or I’ll hurt you.
Other countries and organisations should already be taking protective action, isolate the USA and stay out of this kind of thing. The USA under #FeloniousTrump and his billionaire associates want to control the world and all business - putting their message only out, and surpassing everyone else. journa.host/@w7voa/11385577159

@GottaLaff This may be embarrassing for #FeloniousTrump who yesterday boasted that his guy sealed the deal - no mention of Biden or anyone else. Otoh, Kushner et al boasted about a year ago about building ‘luxury seafront apartments’ in Gaza. Is this the way Trump wants and expects this to play out? Netanyahu doesn’t agree, but blame the starved survivors in Gaza and continue bombing everyone into extinction. They are all bending to Netanyahu, regardless of their political affiliation in so many countries.
