Warum Trump-Kritiker den Protest scheuen
Zehntausende, die gegen Trump vor das Kapitol ziehen: Das war in seiner ersten Amtszeit häufig so. Jetzt aber sind es nur wenige, die protestieren. Ein Grund ist Angst vor den Konsequenzen. Von Niklas Schenck.
just in case anyone thinks Deniz is just riffing on symbolism:
that the bully Biff in #BacktotheFuture was based on #Trump is a fact confirmed by the movie's screenwriter Bob Gale:
Here we go
“The #Trump administration is expected to invoke a sweeping 
wartime authority
to speed up the president’s mass deportation pledge in the coming days, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.”

Trump droht EU mit 200-Prozent-Zöllen auf Wein und Champagner
US-Präsident Trump wettert gegen die geplanten Gegenzölle der EU und droht weitere Maßnahmen an. Sollte die EU nicht einlenken, werde es Wein und Champagner treffen - mit Zöllen bis zu 200 Prozent.
"Speaking of liberals, liberal elites paved the way for Trump with the Democratic Party's full-metal backing of Israel's genocide.
Harris dehumanized and demeaned Palestinians during her campaign. She promoted Israel's Jim Crow style rape hoax that was one of the primary motivators of the genocide, she embraced the genocide. That's why she lost"
Now Democrats have the gall to blame the voters. That was their plan all along.

Yuri Ushakov, a fmr ambassador to Washington who speaks for #Putin on major #ForeignPolicy issues, told RT that he had spoken to Waltz on Wed to outline #Russia's position on the #ceasefire.
"I stated our position that this is nothing other than a temporary respite for the Ukrainian military, nothing more," Ushakov said.
"It gives us nothing. It only gives the Ukrainians an opportunity to regroup, gain strength & to continue the same thing," he added.
#Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow on Thurs for talks. Russian officials said US #NationalSecurity adviser #MikeWaltz had provided details on the ceasefire idea on Wednesday & #Russia was ready to discuss it.
Trump had said in the White House on Wednesday that he hoped the Kremlin would agree to the #US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire that #Ukraine said it would support.
Kremlin says there's 'nothing' for #Russia in #US ceasefire idea for #Ukraine
#Putin's top foreign policy aide said on Thursday a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the #UnitedStates to pause the war in Ukraine would give Russia "nothing" while gifting Kyiv's forces a much-needed battlefield respite.

"The richest man in the world, whose empire is built on billions of taxpayer subsidies, spent at least $260 million to get Trump elected, and is now using Trump to advertise his car company from the White House in exchange for potentially even more money to benefit Trump’s political ambitions.
There are no words for how sick and perverse this all is."

"What led to the arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a prominent pro-#Palestine activist at #ColumbiaUniversity? Although he is a United States permanent resident, Khalil is facing deportation. The #Trump administration says it's part of a broader effort to combat anti-Semitism, but critics see a chilling attack on political speech..."

"President Trump opened a used-car lot outside the White House today, explaining that his business venture would not interfere with running the federal government, since there is hardly any left."
As Lewis Grossberger says, no one is surprised. /s

@acouturier @tprophet I personally think that #Trump isn't seriously interested in taking #Canada, at least by force, but to each their own. That certainly isn't the most shocking or unreasonable take I've hard this week.
#Trump threatens further tariffs as #EU, #Canada retaliate for those already in place

Trump said he would impose additional penalties if the EU follows through with its plan to enact counter tariffs on some #US goods next month

Can't be repeated enough:
"Elon Musk is not engaged in an “efficiency drive”. He is not trying to save money. He is trying to cripple the state and destroy the public sector, since oligarchs of his ilk think these are by nature a waste of money and that their functions should be privatized. Media should report it as such."

Ansich ist nur wichtig, dass sich das Bällchen bei #putin verortet. Wenn er dem nicht zustimmt, könnte das wiederum einen #trump so verärgern, dass er die #ukraine massiv mit Waffen und Munition unterstützt.

If you think they'll stop at Mahmoud Khalil you're dead wrong. No matter what you think of his activism. If you think you're rights are intact, they're not. They will be coming for you too even if you think they won't because you stayed silent.
