Here's a fun game to piss off #Tesla owners. Whenever you use UBER and you get a Tesla driver, at after the ride you can rate it. If you rate with one star you are offered a series of questions about why. One of the options is 'Vehicle'. Selecting this, and in the next menu 'Other', sends a […]

How unfillable is the hole in your soul that one could be the richest person in the world and then be upset that America has an agency that helps the poorest in the world? I despair of Americans. #Musk #USA #Trump #USpoli

If Elon Musk hates Signal and bans all mention of it on Twitter, then you know its good, you know it's necessary now. #ElonMusk #Musk #Twitter #Signal

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index. The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe. #journalism #democracy #freepress rsf.org/en/index

"First They Came" by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1946) First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out […]

"If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." - SDNY assistant attorney […] [Original post on journa.host]

Vance is in a security conference in Europe. Does he talk about the war currently ongoing in Europe? No, he pushes the far right "lack of free speech" bullshit. What an odious little hobgoblin he is.

Seventh prosecutor in Eric Adams case resigns and calls out Trump’s former lawyer in scathing letter https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/politics/justice-department-eric-adams-case-new-york-southern-district/index.html Just tell all of us again how the USA is the greatest democracy on earth […]

One can see exactly whose playbook they are following now. #Trump #USA #USpoli

Make no mistake about who they have in the cross hairs. When they take the word 'transgender' from government websites it isbth equivalent of 'book burning'. It's pretty clear from where they get their inspiration […]

By abandoning Ukraine and inviting Moscow to further expand its territory into Europe, Trump is proving that it was far easier for Russia to take over the Republican Party than it was for them to take over Ukraine […]

NATO secretary general Mark Rutte gives us the figures: Europe & Canada provided 53% of the aid to Ukraine in 2024. What is this talk about Europe not carrying it’s weight? 🤔 Okay, we have 470 million people, US has 340.. we could do a bit more, sure.. But US is NOT paying substantially […]

In the first weeks of Trump's presidency, the new US administration attempted to rename the Gulf of Mexico. But so far, they have only succeeded in renaming Teslas to Swasticars.

The International Criminal Court pledges "to continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the world". Only an American fascist could undermine such an august body. How can we tolerate this man? We are witnessing the moral disintegration of a once […]

Another one? “ #Texas authorities arrested a #Jan6 rioter recently pardoned by #Trump on Thursday for online solicitation of a minor. The Harris County district attorney’s office said it took Andrew Taake into custody Thursday morning for the May 2016 charges...” […]

Hamburgay - how hard does it have to be to organize bathrooms? If this small restaurant in Curatiba can sort it out you'd think Congress could. But wait, they're in a fascist country, of course. #lgbtq #Brazil #Curatiba

Hamburgay - simply the gayest bar in Curatiba. A great place and very much a family atmosphere.

WSJ now reporting Marko Elez has resigned after being linked to a social media account advocating eugenics and racism. Two days ago he had operational access to the Treasury payment system that processes $7.3 trillion. 1/2

The Serra Verde express was built with British and French financing at the end of the 19th century. Italian and Belgian engineers pushed the line through to the coast. No slave labour was employed. Working in brutal conditions it was an incredible achievement. #Brazil #travelphotography

The biodiversity is intense. Trees have other trees growing within them, and further trees and plants growing from within them. #Brazil #Travelphotography

The Green Train from Curatiba to Morretes, Brazil. The train pushes through dense jungle revealing small dwelling now and then. Often these are for engineers associated with the railway. #Brazil #travelphotography

https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/africa/female-inmates-raped-killed-goma-jailbreak-intl/index.html ...and this is one UN program which the cuts to USAID has supported. I am curious how well this sits with US citizens who voted for the Orange rapist? #USAID #Trump

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9149j4nmzo As with most compulsive liars, the Orange rapist continues to claim victories that do not exist. It's sad to see that this individual simply cannot help himself. #Trump #psychology #USpoli

Anyone doing business with the current US gov is complicit. #uspol
