US Govt successfully blackmails major world university already mostly on its side into keeping students silent and agreeing to perpetuate the trope that students' support for indigenous west-Asian population's right not to be erased, and opposing war crimes, can be called "antisemitism".

AU denounces IRS plan to exempt houses of worship from the Johnson Amendment

GROTESQUE

Denunciation of christofascism / #christianNationalism from Americans United for Separation of Church & State (i.e., United to bring democracy to the USA -- a VERY WORTHY organization):

Senate Republicans last night affirmed by the advancement of the Plunder Bill, their intention to dismantle the public sphere, and to redistribute the savings of working American families including the health resources for which they long ago paid in full to a vibrant system in need of expansion -- to instead effectively scrap it -- to take another trillion dollars from America and reallocate it to the next four generations, at least, of the 600 billionaires, to protect those 600 families from ever having to participate in a Society and eliminating most opportunities to rebuild and repair the damage they've just wrought. They've also reinforced their commitment to an authoritarian leadership no longer subject to the constitutionally-crafted check on power of the executive by the judiciary whether elected or appointed; completely altering and concentrating the power to amass and protect the wealth produced by everyone else: to capitalize residents while stripping our rights of citizenship. Big Ugly.

Fired National Security Advisor Waltz (the effective fallguy for the first of Pete Hegseth's two* "Signalgate" episodes [*that we know of]) was engaging in “intense coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about military options against Iran ahead of an Oval Office meeting between the Israeli leader and Trump.”

As I've believed for years, the erasure of civilizations we've seen in Western Asia, pointed primarily at Palestinians; and around the world but particularly in the US against any who support the most basic human rights of Palestinians -- and who have dared speak up about it at risk of loathsome labeling & bogus criminalization by #Hasbara, #ADL, #BnaiBrith, #AIPAC, #CUFI, the legislators they all own starting with Chuck; utilizing tactics including extrajudicial abductions to punish anyone of conscience, to chill speech, to #DISRUPT #Society -- is all about this, the so-called #abrahamAccord that is comprised of mobsters in the US, State of Israel, al-Saud & the emirs, to provoke and to concoct pretexts, each for their own overlapping reasons mostly but not entirely to do with oil, for the inexorable global thermonuclear war they intend to ignite in #Iran.

@inthehands Hey I thought you said I was going to *lose* money!!

@inthehands
It should give a lot more people pause and lower their confidence in a free/fair market, to see the latest apparent propping-up. After all the volatility why is the value holding so ridiculously steady at the inflated $249 price today? It couldn't have anything to do with Musk's powerful new possession of every citizen's private financial records. Good thing conspiracy nuts are rare.

Right now, people with a lot of capital and market power seem to be working very hard with microtrades no doubt, to keep the inflated valuation artificially stable at $249

@inthehands @dave_andersen
Yes, I'd welcome suggestions to consider, for after I get my refund.

As it turns out Ally Invest may not be reasonable. They pulled $400 from my checking account and then immediately froze the new account and denied my access to it. They sent me a cryptic email which states "We need you to contact Ally Invest Client Services. Your Ally online access is currently disabled, and you may not be able to log in or transact in your new Invest account(s) ending in xxx." When I called, the person who responded to the Interactive Voice Response bot for new account assistance had me verify my DOB and phone, then quizzed me on items from my resume, prior addresses, and locations of people I do not know. Then he told me I am under Maintenance Review, and they'll hold on to my cash for as long as they like while conducting it. So now I too am in the 'Annoyed' camp, am likely to demand my funding back, and to look elsewhere for investment services. I already tried Robinhood and Betterment and they had some hoops I found almost as annoying to jump through, which is how I ended up with Ally.

In case you missed the great piece on turning the tables on the parasites who are using #disruption to run this whole shooting match, from @pluralistic

“The US companies that could be disrupted thanks to the Trump tariffs are directly implicated in the rise of Trumpism...”

[A SUPER list of #counterdisruption tactics linked out, there]

"That's how you hurt Musk – not by being performatively aghast at his Nazi salutes. You kick that guy right in the dongle...”

The #USTREAS payments processing codebase was altered. The data removed, the destruction of Musk's copy not a part of the court order temporarily halting #DOGE access, nor does the order require restoration of the pre-hijack code, afaik. #Musk illegally inserted a private server into the Office of Personnel Management system and there've been no consequences nor mitigation for that yet, either.

> Pro-democracy protesters marched up Cambridge Street from the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common to the JFK Federal Building at the far end of Government Center.

There was also a #StopTheCoup protest against the obliteration of the Constitution's separation of powers, by #ExecutiveOrder.
Links to both.

Couldn't begin to tell how many times it's happened to me. It might not be worth anything but my recent experience is that Fedilab is a more stable/reliable android client and does realtime caching to a drafts folder until I finally hit 'send'. I've had up to three different clients installed at one time so I could effectively compare them.

@HistoPol
"TikTok Ban Fueled By Fealty to Israeli/Saudi/Emirates Global State-Terror/Military Alliance to Provoke Pretextual Nuclear War Against Iran, Not Fear of Chinese Economic/Military Dominance" might have been a more clarifying headline, if not entirely wieldy. The beef of it might require booklength context, but yes.

> Congressional insiders spill the beans on how the law was passed

There is no place in the known universe for those engaging in #holocaustDenial nor those such as #SkyNews who by crafting false narratives or #disinformation amplify it.
