"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

The President openly defies a unanimous Supreme Court order. He advocates the right to seize people and send them to a foreign gulag without due process. His defiance of the Constitution requires impeachment and removal from office. This is a dark day for our Republic.

Trump has diverted media attention from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to his fake "peace" process. In fact, American weakness enables Russian aggression as a new offensive looms. Useful corrective here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Spot the American. Is it someone who speaks his mind and does the work to get citizenship? Or is it someone born into citizenship who covers his face while abducting people in a Черный ворон?

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

"Did Europe really freeload off American power? Yes—but not the way you think. #Trump called Europe out. #Obama warned #Europe too. But what if this whole setup was by design—a U.S. design? Here’s how #America engineered Europe’s military dependence." youtu.be/pYFpiwyTXcU?...

"Carney took his case to Europe with the EU’s heavy hitters—Germany, France, the Netherlands. Japan was in the room too. If Trump went too far Canada would start offloading those Treasury bonds. Not a fire sale—nothing so crude. A slow, steady bleed." open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

"Canada wasn’t alone. Japan, holding over $1 trillion in U.S. debt, signed on and scared Trump shitless. Key EU countries—collectively sitting on another $1.5 trillion—nodded in agreement. This wasn’t a bluff. It was a silent pact." open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

"That’s the message Carney delivered with Trump. No leaks on the exact words, but the outcome speaks volumes. Trump didn’t just pause; he backpedaled hard. China’s still in the crosshairs but Canada? The EU? Japan? They’re off the hit list." open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

cc: All foreign journalists Tesla runs one third of all money (!) made by Tesla through 7 Dutch 'companies' Yet pays hardly any taxes. Not in the Netherlands, not in Germany. And Tesla paid zero taxes in the US last year.. Oh, and its company structure changes quicker than you can say 'tax fraud'
