Now that Trump has ousted Brown, and the heads of the Navy and Coast Guard, the remaining top military leaders are all white and male, particularly striking given that minorities make up nearly 40 percent of the military and women constitute fully a fifth. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

"After seizing the capital in a fast-moving coup+ w universal control of govt ministries now seemingly assured by a quiescent parliament, South African oligarch Musk spent his 3rd week in power dismantling legal constraints that would stop him from turning the US govt into his personal piggy bank."

To earn a chuck under the chin from his authoritarian boss, this POS Christian white nationalist spews ignorant patronization in allies' faces while fomenting the far right on the wrong continent. Cool. www.err.ee/1609605908/v...

"White Nationalist Forces Consolidate Power Alongside Musk’s Junta" -- this dispatch from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, written as a foreign correspondant in the U.S, is extraordinary. Makes clear the situation and how badly the legacy media is missing the picture www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/white-nati...

You cannot deport an American citizen whom I, for one, have voted into office multiple times, and especially not because of falsified AI horse shit. And let's not even get into the whiny voice with which he's proposing it. Another circle of 2025 hell.

I'm very excited to learn that an English translation of Lennart Meri's 'Silverwhite: The Journey to the Fallen Sun', a legendary book about Estonia, is being published in May. And the front cover, featuring the Kali crater in winter, is just breathtaking www.hurstpublishers.com/book/silverw...

Wow. Via Brad Moss: Oh those constitutional violations? Pfft, those aren’t really a concern. #Musk
. Some, like North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, even acknowledged that what Musk is doing is unconstitutional — but “nobody should bellyache about that.” 

“That runs afoul of the Constitution in the strictest sense,” Tillis said. But “it’s not uncommon for presidents to flex a little bit on where they can spend and where they can stop spending.”

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Children's literature is always fun to translate, and the ego boost of being included on year-end lists isn't the worst thing, either. Triinu Laan's JOHN THE SKELETON found its way onto this one: afuse8production.slj.com/2024/12/31/3...
