I know this isn't terrorism. You know this isn't terrorism. The authorities know this isn't terrorism. But, once again, they have labelled protesters "terrorists", as part of the long-running programme to ensure that no one dares protest about anything any more. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

so Trump 2.0’s war on every single non-evil job did destroy my career and traumatize me a lil bit, but the thing is that, like many people in my position, I’m quite capable of synthesizing that trauma into a single-minded thirst for revenge

(1 of 2) I've now seen the video taken by the woman in the pink jacket—she was just feet away. Only watch it if you have a very strong stomach. It confirms that the man Trump agents executed in broad daylight was killed because he dared to try to protect a woman who was being abused by Trump agents.

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

Welp.
They added that the US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier.
Though Ukraine ultimately managed to swing Trump back to endorsing a freeze of the current front lines, the acrimonious meeting appeared to reflect the capricious nature of Trump's position on the war and his willingness to endorse Putin's maximalist demands.

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all. I have different view. When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist. And that is what he will do. This is horrifying.
