"Aging systems have been difficult to maintain due to the unavailability of parts and retirement of technicians with expertise in maintaining the aging systems…#FAA risks having an inefficient schedule that causes excessive disruptions to air traffic control operations and jeopardizes FAA’s ability to meet its aggressive deployment schedule. As mentioned, if these risks are realized, FAA will need to continue to rely on severely outdated and underperforming systems that are prone to failure, which could lead to more system outages, ground stops, flight delays, and safety incidents."
Beef prices up, oil prices way up, air travel stopped. I never knew Trump was a secret climate activist!
Umm…
All #flights in the #US are grounded until further notice, “due to extraordinary circumstances & for reasons of safety,” the #FAA said in a statement.
The cause of the ground stop was not immediately clear, but an FAA spokesperson says there is a communications problem impacting Air Route Traffic Control Centers, which handle flights going across the country.

Le groupe Nvidia, dont le patron Jensen Huang vient de démissionner, a fait 193 milliards de dollars de bénéfice net en 2025 pour un chiffre d’affaires annuel de... 303 milliards de dollars! A titre de comparaison, c'est quinze fois plus que Bernard Arnault et le géant du luxe made in France LVMH! Je n'arrive même pas à imaginer ce que cette somme représente, c'est indécent, obscène...

Séisme dans la tech. Jensen Huang, le fondateur du géant de semi-conducteurs Nvidia, quitte ses fonctions au sein de l'entreprise qu'il a créé à cause de deux liaisons extra-conjugales, dont une avec une Chinoise soupçonnée d'espionnage. Cette affaire, connue depuis plusieurs mois dans les petits cercles de Washington (et à Pékin), ébranle aussi l'économie de l'IA, car Nvidia finance toutes les start-up du secteur.

The guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier had to reprimand the head of the department of war (formerly defense, now purely an offensive arm in every application of the term) to shut the fuck up.
I am literally split down the middle: on the one hand that must be so deeply sorrowful a situation for anyone who believes in the core values of the state and of the armed forces; and on the other hand I can think of few people more satisfying to scream stfu at.
Now don't get me wrong the US left & DNC tea leaves readers like me will debate who gets credit for these "blue" wins until the heat death of the universe.
But one thing is clear Trump and the Republicans lost BIGLY. They have no one to blame but themselves
And we're all laughing at MAGA for putting their electoral future in Trump's hands.
Only time will tell how that shit stain on American history will react (probably bombing Iran more) but for now this week is funny af
These are not good people, & they have no business “leading” the service members they are sending into war.

Reason number one bazillion why I hate the #Trump regime and ICE. A colleague of mine had a friend pass while in hospice care. Two mutual friends flew to Phoenix to try to see that friend before he passed. They are in the US legally with valid work permits. I didn't get this detail, but I'm pretty sure these were domestic flights from elsewhere in the US. The two friends were detained by ICE at Phoenix airport. My colleague is well-positioned to help and they've engaged lawyers. But this, obviously, sucks hard. I hate the cruelty. The waste. The upended lives for nothing. Nothing was achieved. Only harm. The two men in question had valid work permits and asylum applications. As far as anyone knows, they were here legally. But no one cares in this lawless administration.

#Republicans could attempt to use that vote to bottle up the articles in a committee for the rest of the year, or to kill them outright.

The 8 articles of #impeachment involve #Iran & other ops, incl’g lethal strikes on boats the #Trump admin claims were smuggling drugs. They lay out a number of charges, including that #Hegseth disregarded #law intended to minimize #civilian casualties.
…Only a handful of #Republican defections/absences could allow the charges to advance to the #Senate for #trial. Though Republican leaders could delay sending them to the Senate, #Democrats could take up the articles when they assume power in Jan.

Während deutsche Medien auf der Erklärung rumreiten, dass #Trump die #Midterms wegen der Inflation und hohen Benzinpreise verloren habe, ist mir diese Erklärung von Paul Krugman viel einleuchtender:
„Die Midterms war eine Geschichte von vielen Gegenreaktionen. Es gab die Gegenreaktion ehemaliger Trump-Wähler, insbesondere junger weißer Männer, gegen die hohen Benzinpreise und den Irankrieg. Es gab die Gegenreaktion der hispanischen Wähler gegen ICE und Trumps schreckliche Abschiebungspolitik. Es gab die Gegenreaktion der schwarzen Wähler gegen das Gerrymandering der Republikaner und Trumps offenen Rassismus. Es gab die Gegenreaktion von Frauen gegen die Zerstörung des Abtreibungsrechts und die Unterdrückung der Epstein-Akten. Es gab eine Gegenreaktion der Familien gegen den Verlust der Krankenversicherung. Es gab eine allgemeine Gegenreaktion gegen Trumps bodenlose Korruption und Lügen. Und es gab eine Gegenreaktion patriotischer Amerikaner gegen Trumps Bromance mit Putin“
We need a law called the "Donald J. Trump Act" that makes it clear that a sitting president CAN BE INDICTED FOR CRIMES.
By naming the law after Trump, it will remind people for generations to come of Trump's corruption and ensure the name Trump will forever be associated with criminality.
I didn't mind when he started a war in Iran
I didn’t mind when he cut my Medicaid plan
Didn't mind the tariffs when they raised my bills
Didn't mind the ICE raids and the people that they killed
I didn’t mind the rampant insider trading
Didn't mind the Venezuela invading
Didn't mind when he took my food stamps away
I didn't mind when he told Iran to blow up LA

1) Trump is *not* going to back down from all the violence, cruelty and destruction he has inflicted on the United States of America, and

No word on what voters have been saying to soon-to-be-Speaker Jeffries.
Jeffries on Wednesday dismissed the idea, however, that Democrats would impeach the president, as some liberals want to do.
“I haven’t had a single member of the House Democratic Caucus talk to me about impeachment,” he said. “We’ve been relentlessly focused on affordability, and on accountability.”
https://thehill.com/homenews/6198897-jeffries-ribs-johnson-midterms/
After the Democrats’ almost spectacular victory—this historic slap in the face for the Republicans and especially for Trump—many people, particularly here in Europe, believe that Trump’s reign is now over and that the most terrifying chapter in U.S. history is coming to a swift end.
My God, how naive.
Trump will remain U.S. president for two more years. And I’m certain he won’t be fazed by this election result.
He’s a narcissist who can’t admit defeat or accept blame. On the contrary, he’ll now seek confrontation even more, care even less about rules and laws, and act particularly aggressively, like a wounded animal. The most dangerous time for the U.S.—but also for the entire world—is only just beginning!
He will certainly attack Iran again; Cuba will certainly become an issue. Greenland, too, can definitely not count on the “deal” with him. And Ukraine will be completely abandoned so that Agent Krasnov can do as much as possible to assist his master, Putin.
While during his first term, cabinet members and military leaders like Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley were still able to restrain Trump from using nuclear weapons, one can expect neither resistance nor reason nor morality from the deranged psychopath and Trumpist Pete Hegseth.
As gratifying as the election results may be, with Trump in his twilight years, the world is now just one step away from the abyss. He is someone who wants to drag everything down with him as he goes under—even if it means the whole world. Trump admires dictators and murderers—and he wants to be just like them.
#midterms #trump #usa #republicans #democrats #election #fascism
I want #Trump to think about Ukraine as little as possible – the results last night make me think he’ll retreat to the area where he has pretty much unfettered power: foreign policy.
Will Trump focus more of his efforts on appeasing the Russians and jamming a deal down Zelenskyy’s throat now that the #midterms are over?

As a proud #Canadian and observer of #USA politics [1], I would like to thank MAGA, and it's ceremonial head [2] Donald Trump for such a wide selection of spectacular own-goals which made tonight's landslide #repudiation of the GOP possible.
I mean, they lost the #governorship in Ohio. Ohio! A flaming bag of dogshit could win Governor in #Ohio, if the bag was red. But they let #Ramaswamy buy the nomination, because if there was one thing the #electorate said they wanted this year, it was another billionaire pharma-bro Harvard/Yale elite #slimeball who couldn't play a human on TV if you gave him one of those Mission Impossible masks and a head start.
#Governor in Texas! Abbott could have won this easily, if the orange moron hadn't loudly supported him. He's a #curse, you GOP #dipshits. Toss #MAGA to the curb and start building a principled GOP. It should only take 30 or 40 years. If only Mitch McConnell were alive to see this. [3]

Tue, November 3, 2026
"In New Hampshire, Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas defeated former Sen. #JohnSununu, a Republican backed by President Donald #Trump, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ. Pappas will be the first out gay man to serve in the upper chamber.
"This race, which had no incumbent, is one of a handful of competitive elections that will determine which party ultimately takes control of the Senate. Pappas' win protects a vulnerable seat for Democrats, who need to gain four seats to clinch a majority.
"Pappas' win marks only the third time in history that an out #LGBTQ+ person has been elected to the Senate. The first was Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, who took office in 2013. The second was former senator Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat-turned independent from Arizona. Laphonza Butler, the country's first Black lesbian senator, was not elected: California Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed her to the position in 2023 for a 14-month term."

By Daniel Reynolds November 04, 2026
"JD Ford has made #LGBTQ+ history in Indiana with a remarkable upset in the conservative state.
"The Democrat bested incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz to triumph in the state’s 5th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ, which called the race at 8:28 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday.
"With 71 percent of votes counted, Ford led Spartz 55 percent to 44 percent.
"Ford’s victory is remarkable, as a Democrat hasn’t held this seat since 1990. Spartz was first elected in 2020 and was running for her fourth consecutive term.
"Ford, who is gay, is now the first out member of Congress from Indiana. The state senator had broken barriers before. In 2020, he unseated a 13-year incumbent who campaigned against same-sex marriage and became the first out member of the Indiana General Assembly.
"President #Trump ’s low approval ratings, a result of issues like his controversial war in Iran, affordability, and ICE raids, have created opportunities for Democrats in traditionally red states like Indiana, where former Vice President Mike Pence was once governor."

#Diné leaders demand the return of #BearsEars, fully intact
‘They call it protection. We call it theft.’
Natasha K. Hale and Angelo Baca October 27, 2026
Excerpt: "The #Trump administration has once again gutted Bears Ears National Monument in southern #Utah by stripping away roughly 90% of its acreage and dissolving the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Commission, the governance body that made tribally led management possible in the first place. What is at stake here goes well beyond one monument. If this proclamation is allowed to stand, it not only opens the door to unraveling protections for any national monument in the country, it also threatens centuries of tradition and land management by the tribal peoples who have cared for these lands since time immemorial.
"The original 2016 Bears Ears proclamation was the first ever to include Native languages. It reads like a love letter to this land. In contrast, the Trump administration’s recent proclamation seeks to diminish the land’s significance by describing it as unremarkable — a landscape that is so common across the Southwest that it isn’t worth protecting — and it dismisses land protection as merely theft. It’s just more of the same from this administration — fear, gaslighting and disrespect for tradition dressed up as policy. The Antiquities Act of 1906 specifically called out this land as worthy of protection because of its deep history, its archaeology and cultural significance.
"We reject the 2026 proclamation, plainly and categorically. We reject it for Bears Ears, and we reject it for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, also a target of the Trump administration — a landscape to which many of our own people and neighboring tribal nations also hold deep connection. No sitting president has the right to disregard the voices, leadership and land-management practices of tribal #SovereignNations, including the ones that comprise the Bears Ears Commission, or to sideline the meaningful consultation owed to the tribes who are inextricably tied to these ancestral lands. The United States itself is barely 250 years old; it pales in comparison to the #Indigenous presence on this land, which stretches back thousands of years."

Bottom line,

I say “accepted” cuz these are the fucking days of our lives.
One key point in this excellent article is that #Trump voters who won't admit they fucked up, and so won't criticize Trump, are still happy to vent their righteous fury on Trump's Cabinet members.
Nobody else is Dear Leader. Increasingly-- and this is the one thing I did *not* see coming-- previous hard core cultists are even turning on Trump! But this will all accelerate when Trump dies and people like Vance and Miller and Hegseth are left holding the bag.

Bear in mind that with those numbers among white evangelicals, millions of young people already left those churches. The percent of white evangelicals supporting #Trump has appeared stable, but that's only those who remained.

The US is considering easing sanctions on Russian vessels that transport oil and petroleum products from countries like Russia, Iran, and Venezuela to lower record-high global freight rates.
On Tuesday, Washington DC US Attorney #JeaninePirro said in a Fox News interview that “there are several investigations going on” related to #IlhanOmar & that her office is also probing issues concerning the lawmaker’s financial disclosures.
The fact that he & #Hegseth even wanted to do it is incredibly disturbing.

Federal authorities investigating #Minnesota Rep. #IlhanOmar seized the #Democratic lawmaker’s phone & have issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to some of her relatives, according to a person briefed on the probe.

The investigation led to federal agents searching Omar’s Washington, DC home on Monday just weeks before the November #midterms, in which #IlhanOmar is seeking reelection.
The scope of the investigation into Omar is unclear, though Homeland Security Secretary #MarkwayneMullin has suggested that authorities were examining potential crimes related to her family’s #immigration paperwork.

"We are losing a strong partner"
Of course we have all known this for some time now
But the diplomatic way is to keep the drama under wraps and keep a facade of the cheerful smile. In the hopes that private dialogue might reverse things
Therefore, when this is said openly, a public break, that means the calculus has shifted that this is an irredeemable situation

#SpaceX, owned by Elon #Musk, partially restricted Starshield connections, a military version of Starlink, without warning or explanation to Ukrainians.
Musk claimed that speed restrictions for military operations are imposed by the U.S. Army and Donald #Trump personally. The White House says it has nothing to do with this.
With less than 3 weeks to the US midterms we have started to see the panic coming from the Trump administration as they look at a future where both the House and Senate are in opposition.
We have the deluded "deal" for Russian diesel and sabotaging of the Ukraine war effort as they look for someone to blame for the fuel prices.
We have the uptick in Hormuz attacks and the discussions regarding the US big bomb (MOAB).

There're people postulating that this "U.S. to buy diesel from Russia" thing is Trump (or someone in his admin) playing 4-D chess. However, that's usually the wrong answer. I see two more likely possibilities:
1) Trump knows this is a drop in the bucket and it's just a dumb stunt to try to win votes. (If so, then the timing is off; he should have waited until a week before the election.)
2) Trump doesn't know shit and Putin is manipulating him as usual.

After a few weeks with Debian Stable, I decided yesterday to switch to Debian Testing after all. On more modern computers, it really does make a difference whether I have kernel 6.3 or 7.2 available or can use significantly more up-to-date packages.
Last month I also played around with Debian Sid, and it was absolutely stable for me, though the constant updates—often several times a day—were annoying. So Testing is the perfect compromise for me.
Let me just say this: I still consider Fedora to be the best Linux distribution from a technical standpoint—the absolute gold standard. But unfortunately, in 2026, the world looks like this: Fedora = Red Hat = IBM = Big Tech = USA = Trump. And I absolutely don’t want to use anything from Trump’s shithole country anymore.

EXCLUSIVE: US imposes sanctions on ICC hours after former judge wins Nobel Peace Prize
Could Trump's skin get any thinner?
#news #politics #uspol #uspolitics #GOPCult #trump #ethics #corruption #maga
The ICC has just been sanctioned as an entity by the #Trump administration.
Long anticipated, but utterly disgraceful nonetheless. Lawlessness shall not prevail.
"An international legal system in which #WarCriminals are held to account & the victims of abuse see justice served is a precondition for a peaceful world," the cmte said.
Of course.
#US imposes #sanctions on #ICC hours after former judge wins #NobelPeacePrize
The #Trump admin imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court Friday, hours after one of its former judges won the Nobel Peace Prize, putting the US on a diplomatic collision course with European allies.
The ICC's deputy prosecutor, Nazhat Shameem Khan, condemned the sanctions & said they would not halt the tribunal's work.

The #Trump admin has long been hostile to the #ICC & has previously imposed #sanctions on its prosecutors & judges. Friday's move would go far further, by potentially punishing companies that provide services to the court itself.
"President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans," Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said in a statement reviewed by Reuters ahead of the official announcement.
"That is why, today, the United States is sanctioning the International Criminal Court. We will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources & crippling its ability to operate,” #MarcoRubio added.
#ICC Deputy Prosecutor Khan told Reuters the sanctions "must be condemned".
"The sanctions are intended to undermine the rule of law internationally & the work that an independent judicial institution is doing.…"
The #ICC, founded in 2002 to prosecute #WarCrimes, #CrimesAgainstHumanity & #genocide, counts 125 countries as member states, including all #EU countries & all members of the #NATO alliance apart from the #UnitedStates & #Turkey.
It has received strong public backing in the past from member countries including major US #allies, & is based in the Netherlands, an EU & NATO member.
#NaviPillay, the South African jurist who won the #NobelPeacePrize Friday for her work in international criminal justice, served as a judge on the #ICC's Appeals Chamber from 2003-2008. In its citation, the prize cmte said it had sought to "issue a reminder" at a time when "judges & institutions of #InternationalLaw are under political attack".
Unreal. #Trump has dragged us back to the #barbaric days of #PublicExecution.

Fascism in the USA:
"The Trump administration says none of this is happening. “DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake.” “There are no ‘indiscriminate’ stops.” Allegations of “racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE.” “The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force.” “ICE does not zip tie or restrain children.”
But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.
We know because we have once again done what the government hasn’t:
We have tallied and cataloged every case we can find of an immigration agent holding a citizen during the current administration.
More than 500 cases. That includes:
- More than a hundred Americans held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all were people of color.
- At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed.
- Of the more than 300 Americans we tracked as detained for allegedly assaulting or obstructing agents, we found fewer than half were actually charged in federal court, and many of those cases were dropped or dismissed.
- At least 63 Americans detained while recording.
- 36 Americans held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their family.
- Roughly a dozen citizens deported, mostly children.
Collectively, these cases show that as the administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of citizens too.
We’re showing you every case — the reality that the administration denies — along with the receipts."

The frustration of the Tangerine Tyrant with the three justices he manoeuvred on to the US Supreme Court offers a glimmer of hope to those of us who think the norm of the Rule of Law remains an important aspect of judicial relations.
Certainly Trump's three appointments are conservative, but they seem to be ruling on the basis of the constitution (as they see it) not on the basis of what is in Trump's political interest.

“What would you say if I had a series of text messages from your team that said you were in Atlanta at a Warriors-Hawks game on February 3, 2024 – the day after Willis & Wade announced their affair?” #EricSchmitt said.
Schmitt went big on the allegation, telling #JackSmith, “I don’t think you know that we have this stuff.” He urged Smith not to “perjure yourself.” He later called Smith a “dirtbag.”
#Trump #law #ElectionInterference #SeditiousConspiracy #Jan6 #insurrection #PoliticalViolence
Eventually, #Democrats got #EricSchmitt to allow #JackSmith to actually review the evidence – a poster featuring the texts in question. In one of them, a fellow prosecutor asks about a seat being reserved for Smith. The GOP poster showed the Atlanta Hawks’ arena.
#Trump #law #ElectionInterference #SeditiousConspiracy #Jan6 #insurrection #DomesticTerrorism #StateSponsoredTerrorism #PoliticalViolence #NationalSecurity
But by this point, #JackSmith seemed to put it together. He said he was not at a game featuring the Atlanta Hawks, but rather the University of Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team – which then featured Caitlin Clark – at the University of Maryland in the Washington, DC, area.
#Trump #law #ElectionInterference #SeditiousConspiracy #Jan6 #insurrection #DomesticTerrorism #StateSponsoredTerrorism #PoliticalViolence #NationalSecurity
To substantiate his theory, #EricSchmitt cited text messages he suggested showed #JackSmith had been at an Atlanta Hawks game on February 3, 2024 – the day after Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis & special prosecutor Nathan Wade admitted to an affair.
Smith appeared dumbfounded, though. He denied going to a Hawks game & said he had no recollection of even being in Atlanta.

The nation’s #cybersecurity agency Thurs released an #election infrastructure security plan 40 days before Nov’s #midterms, laying out potential threats to election systems & listing services it would offer to election ofcls to protect the #vote.
Election ofcls said the plan is both inadequate & belated after the #Trump admin gutted the agency’s election security last year, prompting ofcls to pay for private services to ensure they were prepared for upcoming elections.
"“Please raise your right hand,” Mr. #Trump instructed a rowdy crowd of thousands inside a Dallas arena on Thursday evening. Many of them complied. “I pledge to the greatest #president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can’t even breathe that I will go out with my family, my friends, I will do it any way — I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try and #cheat like hell, like they do.”"
Seriously?
Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson Thurs slammed #SCOTUS’ use of its “emergency docket,” suggesting the court has misused [abused] the process to allow the #Trump admin to move forward with a host of controversial policies while challenges “play out” in lower courts.
SCOTUS’ emergency docket has been criticized by a wide range of legal experts who say the justices make highly consequential decisions while offering little or no explanation for their reasoning.

"#SaudiArabia🚨has informed European refiners that they'll be allocated NO CRUDE OIL NEXT MONTH amid the E-W pipeline shutdown, per Bloomberg.

Not holding #Trump accountable for anything has literally cost us our nation. It will take decades to dig ourselves out of this hole and that assumes we get rid of Trump which at this point isn’t likely. Do y’all really think he’ll ever give up the White House voluntarily? I don’t.

federal authorities said Tuesday as they announced charges against five people who remain at large.An indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court said a network of the intelligence services had
paid and attempted to pay individuals in the United States and in other countries
to surveil targets to be killed with plans to then kill them.The associates recruited in the network also had been solicited to carry out acts of terrorism against civilian and military infrastructure in European countries that were perceived to be aligned with Ukraine, the indictment said.

@jwildeboer The thing about #AI is that the barriers to entry are low. Non-state actors (including commercial enterprise) control the technology, not governments. There will always be countries willing to host data centers and AI companies. All the previous non-proliferation treaties of the past are poor models. Treaties are between countries, not multinational companies and billionaires. I know this from consulting directly with UNIDIR, the R&D org at the #UN that supports arms control treaties by UN members. They’ve been working on it for over 10 years without much progress.
Anyway, I’m not worried about AI apocalypse. 1. For technical reasons. 2. It’s hypothetical, not a real, proven problem. ***AI Apocalypse is a ruse to distract people from other topics more important to the AI Tech Bros — like #Trump, #climate, #war.

Whistleblower: Before ( 2023 ) & After ( 2026 )
==========================
I used to laugh at the people who said, "Both sides are the same."
In 2023, I was a #programmer with #federal #clearance, working for the US Department of #Veterans Affairs, through #AccentureFederalServices , through a contractor ( #GrayDigital ), when I called out #corruption & became a government #whistleblower
I have been #homeless since 2023, hounded by the law, a dozen rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Kicked out of hospitals, banks, libraries, stores, & buses. 5 arrests ( 4 under #Biden, 1 under #Trump ), faced #police brutality, spent 6 nights in jail. The last arrest was extrajudicial, and I was not even brought before a judge after spending a night in jail, just told to go away.
I slept outdoors in winters without warm clothes, in muddy orchards, in rain, on cold concrete city pavements, in sweltering heat. I was denied public defense in #courts, though I told judges I was homeless and food insecure. I fought in court, representing myself, while homeless. All charges were dropped. It was whistleblower intimidation. I had committed no crimes. I was assaulted in the streets by the security guard of a #Catholic charity. I have eaten out of garbage cans, & several times, gone hungry for 2-3 days at a time.
In December 2025, I moved to #Tokyo to avoid persecution, though it followed me here. I'm homeless and hungry here as well, probably because the #Japanese government is reluctant to grant me #political #asylum.
Every #Refugee Assistance Organization I contacted in Tokyo has turned me away.
The linked PDF has an appendix with the "receipts", documents that corroborate my account.

Trump Derangement Syndrome or TDS is a frequent accusation of #MAGA cultists towards other Americans who, according to them, are obsessed with Donald #Trump. But really it's just average people subject to abuses they cannot escape and thus have a valid right to complain. So not a derangement nor an obsession
Projection, or "NO, U!", is an immature psychological defense mechanism where you accuse others of that which you are guilty of

Israeli officials, with Netanyahu's backing, are openly obstructing Trump's plan to end the war on Gaza, refusing to cooperate with his Board of Peace.
Per Haaretz, they say plainly: "We will not cooperate with you." The cause, by all accounts, is Netanyahu's election: trailing in the polls, he won't make any concession his far-right rivals could exploit, so the plan is frozen and the war prolonged.
Even Trump's envoy Kushner, who once admitted Israel was impeding the plan, changed his tune after visiting Israel, now blaming its "irrational" elections and calling Gaza "dystopian" to avoid naming Israeli sabotage.

a dotard
example:
it looks like a mash up of "Donald" and an ableist slur
in actuality it's a musty Elizabethan Era insult
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dotard
"a person exhibiting mental decline especially in old age"
caveat:
we should not blame Trump's behavior on his age. he was like this for decades
"One-third of young #scientists who were planning careers in academic #research changed their minds in the spring of 2025, according to a new survey, with fewer expecting to remain in higher education and in the U.S. to work or feeling that pursuing a Ph.D. was the right decision."

https://news.itsfoss.com/french-city-replaces-microsoft/
PS: It seems clear that #Trump is playing a role here. While he uses tariffs to boost American companies, he scares foreign buyers away from American companies, at least software companies that collect user data. He's creating a #TikTok problem for American software. Microsoft didn't help itself on this front by giving $1 million to the Trump inauguration.
BTW, many other US closed-source software companies gave $1m to the Trump inauguration, among them Adobe, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Perplexity.

It doesn't help when Trump turns US tech CEOs into donors and toadies. If the tech CEOs don't see this problem themselves, then shareholders should see it.
