Listen, fuck the remnants of the British Empire including the Malvinas, but: look at what he’s saying.

Do you see how letting this shithead use UK bases, including a literal RAF base in fucking Gloucestershire, to bomb Iran counts for nothing, as far as he’s concerned? I’ve seen USAF bombers take off this morning.

There is no benefit in having them here. It just makes the UK complicit in their war crimes.

Donald Trump has suggested he would not back Britain if Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands as the row over its sovereignty deepens. Asked if he would come to the aid of the UK in the event of another invasion, Mr Trump appeared to hit out at the UK again for what he sees as a failure to help with his war in Iran. He told GB News: "Your country was not there to help me."

"In case it was not yet clear,🚨#Trump’s only goal for Iran is to bring about regime change in Iran in order to turn it into a vassal state for the #US & #Israel.

This is🚨exactly what we are seeing take place in Venezuela, & the exact plan the Trump Admin has for Cuba.

… and🚨you wonder why the Iranian people are not rising up…"

Note: Trump’s attack continues. Canada’s territorial sovereignty has been invaded by the US on paoer with this EO, and it sets a very dangerous groundwork.

I am confident that our government is not surprised by this assinine move by Trump. This is preceded by his statements about the Arctic, the border between Canada and the US (he’d love to move it and take over our Welland Canal and major cities and infrasctructure), and not that different that his blustering on Greenland.

His escalating attacks on Canada are anticipated, but he’d better tread very carefully. The US relies on access to intelligence from the north where only Canada has eyes and we are still a NATO country.

Screenshot of social media posts from Seth Abramson @SethAbramson - 22h UPDATE: It appears the order does indeed disallow our government from recognizing the existence of a Lake Ontario in any contract. That's exactly what | was talking about. Trump has now made it impossible for the United States to engage in diplomacy over this major body of water. (§) Seth Abramson & @SethAbramson - 21h UPDATE: Trump has declared the whole of "Lake America" a US "asset." Moreover, diplomatic channels on trade between the US and Canada are—the White House has now declared—closed. But yes, social media, keep telling us that none of this matters or will have any downstream effects.

RE: https://beige.party/@phaedral/117174783795701317

This is actually the more serious point and important not to gloss over this direct attack. This is what Charlie Angus was talking about yesterday (I will link again below).

“The argument that Trump invaded Canada today is more compelling than many realize,” posted Abramson. “The border between Canada and the U.S. runs through the middle of Lake Ontario. By claiming to have the power to rename the entire lake, Trump is claiming the lake. That's invasion by declaration.” According to Abramson, while many are being dismissive and even joking about Trump’s order, “the practicalities of what just happened today will hit like a ton of bricks in a matter of hours or days — not weeks. Trump declaring sovereign authority over a body of water half owned by Canada is a big f—— deal.”

"MapQuest stood up to President Donald Trump, and now its app is reaping the rewards.

The “OG of online mapping,” as the company calls itself, announced on Thursday that it would not change the name of Lake Ontario on its maps to Lake America, despite Trump’s executive order directing the U.S. Department of the Interior to update the lake’s name in the U.S. geographic naming service. As a result, MapQuest’s mobile app downloads soared, sending the iOS app to the No. 4 position on the U.S. App Store’s Top Charts for apps (not including games) as of Monday morning on the U.S. east coast.

MapQuest also reached the No. 8 position overall in the U.S. App Store across both apps and games, and it became the No. 1 Navigation app in the United States.

In Canada’s App Store, the app reached No. 2 overall as of Sunday evening."

Excerpt: "As it is, many American communities, regardless of politics, have embraced #BikeFriendly policies, on the grounds that bikes are good for the planet, for the body, and address congestion by taking cars off the road.

"Often inspired by bike-friendly European cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam, the moves are a major shift in the way American communities approach transportation planning.

"There are now 4,400 directional miles of protected bike lanes today, up from 108 directional miles in 2000, according to #PeopleForBikes , an industry trade association and advocacy group. (Directional miles are miles that can be traveled in one direction; with a two-way bike lane one mile long counting as two directional miles.)

"The group notes that more than 25,000 miles of #RailBeds have been converted to bike-friendly trails, double what it was two decades ago.

"But the Trump administration is trying to put the brakes on the trend.

In #NashvilleTN, the future of an ambitious series of bike lanes, called the #EastNashvilleSpokes project, is up in the air after the Trump administration froze a $9.3 million grant, prompting a court battle that remains unresolved."

U.S. REWARDS UAE’S SUPPORT IN #IRAN #WAR WITH AI CHIPS: The #Trump administration recently granted the #UAE more access to American AI chips, a move considered to be in response to the UAE’s support for the U.S. in the Iran War, WaPo writes.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/08/28/uae-sees-deal-with-trump-key-becoming-middle-east-ai-powerhouse/

"The U.S. State Department and U.S. Treasury placed the anarchist-aligned Italian tech support collective Autistici/Inventati on the "specially designated global terrorist" list on Wednesday. This designation makes it illegal for Americans to engage in any "transactions" with Autistici/Inventati.

The U.S. government hasn't accused Autistici/Inventati of committing any crimes. Instead, the State Department announcement states that the group "builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants across the world," allowing these "militants" to "disseminate target information, tactical manuals and techniques, and communiqués about recent attacks" while staying "anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law."

In other words, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is attacking the group for running an online platform that the U.S. government can't spy on and for facilitating communications the U.S. government doesn't like. But precisely because Autistici/Inventati is based in another country—Italy—the U.S. government has basically unchecked power to impose counterterrorism sanctions on it.

The Autistici/Inventati case has strong parallels to the recent TikTok ban: Congress banned the social media network under foreign-policy pretexts because American youth were using it to share otherwise First Amendment–protected content. As with the TikTok ban, outlawing Autistici/Inventati is a way to force users to move to services that are more easily monitored and controlled by the U.S. government."

Dutch warning about Trump face shaped ecstasy pills. Four such pills are shown, in green, red, cream and blue.

Nickolay Mladenov, President Donald Trump’s representative for Gaza, warned the U.N. Security Council that continued Israeli strikes are threatening the Gaza cease-fire and a "U.S.-backed plan to disarm Hamas."

He added that military attacks are unlikely to prevent Hamas from rebuilding its capabilities and instead delay the transition toward civilian rule.

The proposed plan would require Hamas to surrender its weapons and transfer authority to a transitional Palestinian administration, with international oversight. Israel, however, says its forces will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed.

This morning the US leveled sanctions up on the operators of noblogs.org

The Trump administration makes the baseless claim that noblogs' team supports "violent terrorist" or are themselves terrorist.

Meanwhile the US officials also describe the team as notably "anti-militarist" all in the same breath.

The US says providing blogs to leftist is terrorism now.

Treasury Takes Action Against Violent Far-Left Terrorist Networks August 26, 2026 WASHINGTON—Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action to counter the growing threat posed by violent far-left terrorist groups. OFAC sanctioned Autistici Inventati, an Italy-based entity that supplies specialized digital architecture, tools, and services for Antifa cells and other violent far-left extremists, including a foreign terrorist organization; Palestine Action, a United Kingdom (UK)-based organization proscribed as a terrorist group by the UK government in July 2025; and the transnational group Masar Badil, which operates as a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. “Far-left extremists, their fronts, and their enablers should be on notice: We will bring the full weight of our economic tools to bear,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “Political terrorism has no place in our society, and we will continue to cut the financial lifelines of these groups until they are eliminated.” As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in July at the Ministerial on The Resurgence of Political Terrorism, globally networked and politically-motivated terrorists—particularly far-left terrorists—are increasingly embracing organized, deadly violence in pursuit of their objectives. Treasury’s actions today reinforce the United States’ commitmen

This is a bit of a 4 alarm fire.

This likely puts the named people's lives in some amount of limbo as ANY US companies and even individuals could be criminalized for carrying out ordinary unrelated commercial transactions with them.

This is also clearly an attempt to deny leftist the ability to use the tools of capitalism to support each other.

Think about it, the Trump admin is literally banning people from capitalism simply for running basic websites.

Quelques petits calcules sympatoches pour s'échauffer avant la rentrée :

#capitalisme #climat #ElonMusk #trump #economie #ecologie #politique #macron #lfi

Alt...

En 2026, le réchauffement climatique mondial est d’environ +1,4 à +1,5 °C par rapport à l’ère préindustrielle (1850–1900). Si l'on suit cette tendance en continuant les politiques climatiques actuelles, la meilleure estimation disponible aujourd’hui est d’environ +2,8 °C en 2100 par rapport à 1850–1900. Une estimation importante de la Climate Impact Lab projette, dans un scénario de fortes émissions, une augmentation nette de la mortalité liée au changement de température d'environ 73 décès supplémentaires par an pour 100 000 habitants en 2100, même en tenant compte d'une partie de l'adaptation. Cela représente entre aujourd’hui et 2100 une estimation autour de 50 millions de décès supplémentaires causés directement par le réchauffement climatique. Le GIEC estime qu'à l'échelle mondiale, 1 000 milliards de tonnes de CO₂ (1 000 GtCO₂) émises cumulativement entraînent environ +0,45 °C, avec une fourchette probable de +0,27 à +0,63 °C. Le GIEC constate que, sur les dernières décennies, la croissance du PIB et du PIB par habitant a été l'un des principaux moteurs de l'augmentation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Une étude de 2026 portant sur les 501 plus grandes fortunes estime que chaque million de dollars détenu par un milliardaire est associé en moyenne à plus de 65 tonnes de CO₂e par an. Au 25 août 2026, les cinq premières fortunes recensées étaient environ : Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin et Michael Dell, pour un patrimoine cumulé d'environ 1 989 milliards de dollars. 2 000 milliards représentent donc environ 65 tonnes de CO₂ × 2 millions ? D’ici 2100, ces 5 personnes auront donc engendré près de 10 milliards de tonnes de CO₂ (si elles ne s’enrichissent pas davantage d’ici là). Ces 5 personnes seront donc directement responsables d’une augmentation de 0,0045 °C. Si une augmentation de 2,8 °C entraîne la mort de 50 millions de personnes, chaque degré de plus sera responsable de près de 18 millions de morts. Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin et Michael Dell seront donc coupables de la mort de 18 millions / 0,0045, soit 81 000 morts. En ne comptant que leur fortune personnelle. Les 5 plus grosses fortunes du monde seront donc coupables d’au moins 16 200 morts chacune.

I think Canada and everyone else should just freeze out the #trump administration. Literally don't go to the negotiating table. Don't give them the time of day. Tell them you're washing your hair that day. Nobody looks good when they're ignored.

Trump can't say the negotiations are going his way if negotiations are not happening at all. You can't report progress on the cleaning up the mess you made with your neighbour as long as the neighbour refuses to talk to you.

As the old saying goes: don't mud wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

‼️‼️‼️ #SCOTUS cleared the way for #Trump to move ahead with his executive order restricting #MailVoting, though it remains unclear how much his admin can implement before the #midterm #elections.

The decision appears to leave room for additional court challenges that could further slow Trump’s order. And with some states beginning to send #MailBallots to voters in just a few weeks, time is running short to impose major changes.

So, the suspicion that the Tangerine Tyrant might declare a state of emergency to pre-empt a Republican beating in the US midterms seems to have moved from the margins (and expressions of the idea here in a more sensible register, of course) to the mainstream.

Given how polarised between the MAGA crowd & the rest, the US has become, the next step is for the prediction of a civil war to hit mainstream commentators.

Update. The Trump admin is demanding a list of Jewish faculty, staff, and students at #UPenn.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/upenn-trump-jews-list

Trump's #EEOC asked for the list last July. Penn refused, and the EEOC sued the university in November. What's new is that several groups just filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the university -- the American Association of University Professors (#AAUP, national and UPenn chapters), the American Academy of Jewish Research, the UPenn Jewish Law Students Association, the UPenn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty.

From #StevenWeitzman, UPenn prof of religious studies and past member of its antisemitism taskforce: “Part of what sets off alarm bells for people like me is a history of people using Jewish lists against Jews. The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.”

#Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Trump #Universities #USPol #USPolitics

Update. Yesterday #UPenn filed a 163-page brief in federal court condemning the #Trump admin demand for a list of #Jews at the institution as “extraordinary and unconstitutional".
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/us/university-of-pennsylvania-trump-jewish-staff.html

"The #EEOC insists that Penn produce this information without the consent — and indeed, over the objections — of the employees impacted while entirely disregarding the frightening and well-documented history of governmental entities that undertook efforts to identify and assemble information regarding persons of Jewish ancestry. The government’s demand implicates Penn’s substantial interest in protecting its employees’ privacy, safety and First Amendment rights."

I want to emphasize this one point that I suspect many Americans do not appreciate:

“the US narrow merchandise trade deficit only exists because the US buys so much of its energy from Canada. Canada fuels American growth, supplying 99 percent of their natural gas imports, 85 percent of their electricity imports, 60 percent of their crude oil imports. I don’t think they want us to stop sending any of that energy.”

I don’t mean you, our highly informed FediFolk, but the bulk of Trump supports, I would hazard a guess, don’t have any idea. They should think very carefully about this.

I’m sharing this not because of what the headline suggests, but rather because it's important that everyone remember that roughly one out of every three American voters still support #Trump and will still vote for their local Republican candidate no matter how awful a person or candidate they may be. Longwell misses the forest for the trees. This article is an important read for anyone who thinks Trump voters can be “won”. They can not. The corruption, anti-democratic policies and goals, #fascism, misogyny, and abuse of power exerted to harm innocent people is what these #Americans WANT. They want mass deportations and more bombing of Iran, more death to people they consider disposable, more ICE, more voter suppression. They are the absolute worst people and we need to make sure no one forgets that. Forget the “grade” they give, look at their actual words. They will never be “won”.

They will praise Trump when he commits more crimes and back him still.

The fact that almost every single ally we have refuses to participate in the war #Trump started, when they had no qualms about sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan when we asked, should tell that pedophile all he needs to know. But instead, he's trying to coerce people into helping, since they won't do it willingly.

The #Trump admin has fixated on two groups most of all — #immigrants & #trans people — in just this way, smearing [them]… as predatory, sick, at once subhuman & terrifyingly powerful.

Citing a "critical need" to prevent #trump from changing #voting rules, District Judge Talwani (Boston) "entered a nationwide order" blocking #US Postal Service from carrying out Trump's EO directives to overhaul mail-in voting policies before Nov 3 midterm #elections, ~"expanding an earlier halt that covered roughly 1/2 the country."

The Judge said that Trump's EO is "causing confusion and threatening both increasing chaos and an erosion of trust in our democracy."

Judge Expands Block on Trump's Mail-in Voting Plan for Midterms BÜZON PARAT 遲票投票箱在強m OFFICIAL MAIL BALLOT DROPBOX Buzón Oficial para Papeletas por Correo 官方郵寄選票投票箱 An official mail ballot drop box at a polling location. Photographer: Michael Nagle/Bloomberg By Zoe Tillman August 11, 2026, 5:06 PM EDT, updated at August 11, 2026, 5:24 PM EDT A federal judge in Boston entered a nationwide order blocking the US Postal Service from carrying out President Donald Trump's directives to overhaul mail-in voting policies before the November midterm elections, expanding an earlier halt that covered roughly half the country. Bloomberg on Apple News Accessed: 11 August 2026 at 2230 UTC

Alt...

US District Judge Indira Talwani on Tuesday barred US officials from taking steps for now to implement a key provision of Trump's controversial executive order, which empowered the postal service to adopt new rules that would allow officials to potentially refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that declined to coordinate with the agency. The judge, in her ruling, cited a "critical need for an injunction to prevent" the administration from changing the ballot rules on the eve of the midterm elections on Nov. 3. "Where the EO is presently causing confusion and threatening both increasing chaos and an erosion of trust in our democracy, the court finds that enfranchisement heavily outweighs the executive's attempt to unconstitutionally insert itself into the domain of election regulation," Talwani wrote. Bloomberg on Apple News Accessed: 11 August 2026 at 2230 UTC

Alt...

Talwani had already blocked Trump's controversial executive order in 23 states and the District of Columbia, which brought a separate legal challenge. The US Justice Department has asked the US Supreme Court to lift Talwani's earlier block before the midterm election, when Republicans are seeking to defend their tight majority in Congress. The high court hasn't indicated when it plans to rule. A DOJ spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling. Bloomberg on Apple News Accessed: 11 August 2026 at 2230 UTC

Alt...

The judge had also barred US officials from carrying out another section of Trump's executive order that directed the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to develop lists of likely eligible US citizen voters to share with state and local authorities who run elections. The case is League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump, 26-cv-11549, US District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston). (Updates with comments by judge in her ruling.)

What’s going to be the next catastrophe that AI is blamed for?

Apart from that, the United States, whose military power and presence have guaranteed Japan’s security since WWII, is proving to be an unreliable ally under Donald #Trump.

If anthropomorphic robots are going to threaten the lives and privacy of American citizens, those robots must be made and operated by Americans. We are the only ones allowed to shamelessly exploit our citizens. We’re not letting some forn country to muscle in on our dystopia.

I don't much care about humanoid robots or robot dogs, but we can't possibly keep growing #solar at the pace we have been in the U.S. if inverters can't be imported from #China.
Most of the inverters installed to date have been manufactured from China. China dominates that market.
The #Trump administration is literally trying to destroy the world so oil companies can keep increasing their profits.

Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who spent nearly four decades as the government’s top #InfectiousDisease expert, refused on Wednesday to answer any questions from a #Senate committee investigating the origins of #Covid19. Dr. #Fauci accused the committee’s #Republican chairman, #RandPaul, of having an “unhinged obsession with me,” before repeatedly invoking his #FifthAmendment right not to incriminate himself.

Early in the hearing, #RandPaul warned that there would be “repercussions” for Dr. Fauci’s refusal to testify, & then ordered the removal of his lawyer‼️, David Schertler, when he tried to speak up on his client’s behalf. The hearing, unusual even by the #Senate’s recent hyperpartisan standards, also featured #ConspiracyTheories & personal attacks, with Republicans taunting Dr. #Fauci as a megalomaniac & a liar.
