  RE: https://mstdn.social/@Strandjunker/116507173395784518 It's not unreasonable to think that harming the United States might be the point. The Trump administration has done so much damage to the United States in such a short time that it's increasingly hard to explain it in terms merely of self-interest, incompetence or conservative ideology, and increasingly believable that it is, in fact, deliberate sabotage.

  Pretty obviously, no one wants to open the box to find out if Mitch McConnell is alive or dead, so he will remain permanently in a superimposed state in which he is both alive and dead at the same time. Call it quantum physics, call it black magic, but it’s firmly on-brand for him. #SchrodingersMitch

  Secretary of Murder Pete Hegseth told reporters today “Our murderbombers are doing great work, murdering people on the ground in Iran. They're defenseless now, because they can't match our murdermissiles, and our counter-murdermissiles are mostly stopping them murdering us in return. In other news, murdersailors aboard one of our murdersubmarines today sank an Iranian murdership, murdering 150 of their sailors.” Hegseth then pumped the air with his fists, shouting "Woo-...

  I don't think Dick Cheney was even in my "Top Ten People I'd Like To See Die Suddenly of Natural Causes" list any more. These days he might not even have made the top twenty.

  There is a very definite case for cutting off Dick Cheney's head and burying him at the crossroads with a stake through his heart, the way they used to do with vampires. The man hasn't even had a pulse for decades. There is no single better candidate for "probably undead" in the US today.

  The fact that CBP is demanding email addresses so they can screen visitors to the US for possible crimethink is a tacit admission that they already HAVE everyone’s emails, they just need your addresses so they can figure out which ones are yours. Which is interesting. https://mastodon.social/@eff/115697029198038164

  If you can pay, it's probably possible to have anyone on Earth assassinated, with better-defended figures costing more. Pay enough and you could probably have anyone, even the President, killed. Currently, there's a strong incentive for the BBC to pay to have Donald Trump rubbed out. Even if it cost $500 million, it would be worth it. If he dies suddenly in the coming weeks, the Director-General of the BBC is going to have some hard questions to answer. https://apnews.com/arti...

  People like to claim that politicians don't care about ordinary people. That's not true in the US, where the president himself will take time out of his day to lie about the circumstances of your death when one of his agents murders you. #ICE #ReneeGood

  The people who have always shouted loudest about "freedom" are now the ones telling us "You have no rights. Shut up and lick the boots of your masters." They love the flag as long as it doesn't stand for anything. #USPol #ReneeGood #ICE

  @GeriAQuin @cstross There’s a certain brilliance to this move: "Give us the voter database so we can suppress the votes of everyone in the state who is likely to vote against us." "Bitch, you've just made sure that come the next election, the ENTIRE STATE is likely to vote against you.”

  According to this Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9jZc4/ people released by ICE from the Whipple federal building are often thrown out into a Minnesota winter in whatever they were wearing when they were abducted, without phones or ID. If they are released, it means they were legally here. They are citizens or people with valid status. ICE is punishing them for the 'crime' of being brown but not deportable. The whole organization is absolutely psychotic....

  Does anyone have any thoughts on how the US ought to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Americans freeing themselves from the tyranny of a corrupt and unaccountable ruler?

  @joshsternberg.com @cstross@wandering.shop Christian fundamentalists: We believe Jews will all go to Hell, but we need some Jews to live in Israel in order to fulfill our prophecy. This administration: We believe Jews aren't human, but we need some Jews to live in Israel to keep the Muslims down, and also to give us a pretext for punishing our political opponents at home. The similarity between these viewpoints is not coincidental.
