We should refer to @mashagessen's Rules for #SurvivingAutocracy daily, especially now that Trump is worse than Putin. Journalists are failing to pay attention. They downplay, buy the normality, say "we're not shocked," "someone will stop him." No one is coming to save us but us.
Live Updates: FAA Declares a Rare Nationwide Ground Stop:
The FAA grounded all flights nationwide, citing “extraordinary circumstances” and “reasons of safety.”
All ATC centers have lost comms.
Cyberattack?

SCOTUS agrees to review Trump ban on asylum seekers.
Federal LAW gives refugees the RIGHT to SEEK asylum from persecution based on political opinions, race, religion, nationality, targeted social groups.
The right of asylum has been in Western law since Ancient Greece—tell Rubio.

before you say anything about "peace" talks with russia, watch this. in full. these are the first moments after russians hit a residential block in my homecity Zaporizhzhia today. this is the kind of culture we reason, rationalise or bargain with. not a state, not a nation, not a regime. a death cult.
Huang's life wasn't in danger—just the entire US & global economies.
Sociopathic men are unable to accurately assess risk or take action for the common good. They think only in terms of what benefits other powerful, wealthy, elite men whom they identify with. Patriarchy.

At the end of October, the last remaining resident of Mala Tokmachka, a village in the Zaporizhzhia region, was finally evacuated to safety.
64yo Svitlana Podolska lost her husband to a russian drone strike 6 months earlier, on Good Friday.
After seven russian drones hit her home, she sought refuge at a Ukrainian military position, hoping to be evacuated by the soldiers.
But she had to wait 5 months, living alongside Ukrainian troops. Relentless russian drone attacks, mined roads and difficult weather conditions made evacuation nearly impossible.
Now Svitlana is finally safe, reunited with her daughter in a rented home that Ukrainian soldiers from the 118th Mechanized Brigade helped secure.
5 months of waiting to escape. And an entire village now left without a single resident. This is what russia has been doing to Ukraine.

The fate of nations and peoples should never be in the hands of any individual yet we are subject to the impulses of sociopathic men like Huang, Musk, Putin, Trump. This is patriarchy — a system of male domination that selects for the very worst men.

“Translated from Kremlin-speak, it means Moscow wants to change the security set-up of Europe in a way that benefits Russia.
What Russia is pushing for is, potentially, the biggest change to European security arrangements since the end of the Cold War.”
Putin increasing his demands, with Kushner/Witkoff/Trump help.
Rosenberg: Uncompromising Putin ups demands for peace with Ukraine bbc.in/4zDuP26
As Trump constantly lies that Russia only targets soldiers, that Ukraine started the war & won't make peace, that Trump-Musk aren't throttling Starshield, as Trump illegally withholds $16B in funds to 🇺🇦 that Congress allocated years ago—the crime of impeachment #1, now ignored.
💔 Zaporizhzhia. The city's been under Russian attack since morning. Three people were killed. A 17-year-old boy among them.
One of the strikes hit a five-story residential building. More than 50 people were injured, including eight children. Many residents were trapped in their apartments.
A concrete slab fell on one of the rescuers while he was clearing rubble. He died.
Devastating.
Deepest condolences.
Entering Year Eight of an AIRBORNE, BSL-3 pandemic—that still kills, and does cumulative damage to immune systems, vasculature, is disabling, oncogenic, causes brain damage, psychosis, strokes—and we still cannot even get CR boxes in our classrooms; just fomite theatre. 💔💀😷
Madison Parish in Louisiana, USA schools going virtual tomorrow because Flu A and Covid got too thick to ignore.
One school’s teacher writes that they sent kids home early today so the rooms could get scrubbed.
One day offline, a prayer, a bottle of disinfectant, and everyone acts like the air is fixed.
Same rooms, same kids, same teachers who will be right back in it Monday morning.
We have been doing this dance for years and still pretend every wave is the first one.

This is one of the most striking graphics I've ever seen.
Off San Diego, 54°F (12°C) water now sits 300 feet deeper than it did in August.
You can literally see the Kelvin wave associated with El Niño pushing north along the California coast, bringing warm water up from the south, deepening the thermocline and rapidly warming sub-surface waters.
It's one of the most extreme marine heatwaves in California's history.

@RedBison @Jazzboneplyr66 @Mizzcheevous1 @sotacita @trwill1957 @PanchoVanilla @emscharf @redhead1558 @LorraineEvanoff Talarico's nod to the sweeping ideas behind the Great Society has me almost in tears. Waited so long to hear this again.
Talarico: On election night, as I was delivering my victory speech, I noticed a woman up front. The lights were bright, so I couldn’t see her face, but I was struck by her attention, how closely she was listening, how much this moment meant to her.
As I finished speaking, I looked down again, and she had made her way to the front of the stage. I bent down to shake her hand, and I realized who she was.
She looked me in the eyes, and she said, “I’m so glad you have my father’s job.”
Lucy Baines Johnson was there to see another public school teacher take her dad’s Senate seat.
We now live under a kleptocracy — rule by thieves, looters, and criminals. The regime has put everything up for sale.
Any "opposition" party that takes money from the 1%, corporations, AI, tech broligarchs, Palantir, AIPAC, et al. will never dismantle this autocracy.
Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormity—billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Cato’s Dan Greenberg.

Israel just murdered a doctor featured in the film about Israel murdering doctors
My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen.
Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure."
Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.

My sources confirm what appears to be another deliberate throttling of Starlink Starshield. At speeds above 160kmh. They noticed it happening immediately after this week’s negotiations, which predictably went nowhere. “They are trying to train us,” says one source.

⚡️3 injured, dozens evacuated after Russian drone damages Kyiv medical facility in overnight attack.
A downed drone caused a fire at a medical facility in the capital's Shevchenkivskyi district in the early morning, partially destroying its second floor, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service. Seven people in the facility had to be rescued by first responders.

Military families shouted at Trump navy officials re: suddenly extended year-long USS Bush carrier deployment — suicide attempts, rapidly worsening food, broken toilets/washers, sailors handwashing oil-soaked gear "because the boat's falling apart."

Anne Applebaum:
„Steve Witkoff nie ma żadnego doświadczenia z Rosją ani dyplomacją. Obawiam się, że wyobraża sobie pakt USA-Rosja, w którym on, jego syn, rodzina Trumpa lub ich krąg odnoszą osobiste korzyści.
To niepokojące, że amerykańska polityka zagraniczna jest prowadzona nie dla dobra USA, sojuszników czy pokoju na świecie, lecz dla prywatnych interesów.
Putin wie, że Trump jest podatny na takie umowy... dlatego ciągle je proponuje.
Witkoff i otoczenie Trumpa zachowują się jak Rosjanie: przejmują państwo i wykorzystują je do osobistego wzbogacenia.”...
