Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Die Unterschiede zwischen dem staatskritischen, aber demokratischen Liberalismus und dem staatsfeindlichen, auf Zerstörung erpichten Libertarismus könnte nicht größer sein. Ein Blogpost zur Begriffsarbeit nach einem brillanten StZ-Essay von Andreas Geldner zur Situation nicht nur in den USA 🇺🇸. #Liberalismus #Libertarismus #Begriffsarbeit #USA https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/begriffsarbeit-in-der-stz-andreas-geldner-zu-liberalismus-versus-libertarismus/

This needs to be shared widely:

My change-detection just caught something big:
dei.gov got registered around one week ago - for some days it was empty.
Than a long list appeared, which quickly got password-protected; see screenshots.

It lists short bullet-points about 'wasteful' governmental spending, looks like a list to justify their actions (and what may be to come)

We are witnessing and unprecedented attack on #Freedom and #FreeSpeech in the #USA #USpol

1. Executive Order on "Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship"**: On his first day in office, Trump issued an executive order that, while purporting to protect free speech, was viewed by critics as a tool to suppress speech he dislikes and rewrite history to suit his agenda[1][3][4].
2. Undermining Internet Freedom Programs**: On the same day as the "Free Speech EO," Trump issued an executive order entitled “Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid,” which is undermining programs that support technologies that enhance privacy, fight censorship, and support internet freedom globally[2].
3. FCC Reinstatement of Complaints Against Broadcasters:
Two days after issuing the Free Speech EO, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reinstated complaints against broadcasters ABC, CBS and NBC over their coverage of the 2024 election, alleging bias[2].
4. Threats to Deport Protesters:
The administration threatened to deport non-citizens who participated in pro-jihadist protests and cancel the student visas of Hamas sympathizers on college campuses[2].
5. Banned Words List for Government Agencies:
The administration circulated lists of banned words for staff of government agencies, prohibiting the use of terms like "diversity" and "integrity"[2].
6. Censoring Displays of Pictures:
The administration directly censored the display of pictures of women and people of color[2].
7. Restrictions on Access to Books: The Defense Department reportedly restricted access to books on topics from immigration to psychology in its school system serving military families[2].
8. Sweeping Crackdown on Federal Communications About the LGBTQ+ Community: Trump ordered a sweeping crackdown on federal communications about the LGBTQ+ community, removing LGBTQ+ resource materials from government websites and placing new restrictions on how federal employees can discuss or speak to LGBTQ+ people or even use words such as "sex" or "gender"[3].
9. Restricting Gender Identity on Official Documents:
Trump ordered that LGBTQ+ Americans may no longer identify as transgender on passports and other documents[3].
10. Criticism of the News Media: Trump has continued his criticism of the news media, calling journalists the "enemy of the people" and suing various media organizations over journalism he claims was libelous or unfair[1][3].

This is how parliamentary democracies work.

In Canada whenever a minister makes an announcement the opposition critic immediately issues and counter announcement to try to shape the narrative. Its annoying as shit some times but it is quite effective. Some politicians excel at this kind of thing.

I find is so strange that in the #USA there seems be a complete vacuum where the opposition should be.

Putin claims the number is 700,000 Ukrainian children kidnapped.

💬 "They are proud to have stolen 700,000 children."

And the world is silent.

Russian terrorists kill and kidnap thousands of adults and children, destroy cities and villages, leaving scorched spots where normal life once was. Another day of Putin's genocide.

This is part of the systematic genocide russians carry out against the Ukrainian people.

In 2023 the International Criminal Court at the Hague issued a warrant for arrest of Vladimir Putin for genocide of Ukrainians.

Putin, Russians: Where are the 🇺🇦 Children? The world is waiting.

Always remember that fascists accuse their enemies of those things they plan to do theirselves. If he says that "the whole country looks like its a fraud" then guess what he is going to do.

The US and Europe at least share the goal that european investments in defense need to increase. Those investments must be in european industry and weapons , NOT in US weapon systems, otherwise we never scale back on dependence from the USA. If we do that we can have our own credible military force in 5-10 years. Ukraine can play an important role in this, with their experience in war.

When asked by reporters whether Musk spoke with Modi “as a CEO” or as a government representative, #Trump said he didn’t know but he figured that #Musk was “doing business,” and said that he would ask him.
