It seems the #USA now has a a different Constitution, a Supreme Leader, a Monarch, a Dictator whom no one shall disobey and to whom every action is accountable, or to the goons he elects to do these jobs for him. This is way past #Congress and #USSenate or even #SCOTUS having authority or control.
Read it all, carefully.
All countries need to distance themselves from this if they want to have anything resembling a democracy. As we have seen in the last 48 hours, his acquaintance with facts or the truth are distant at best.

Not wrong……
Take a good look at the map. https://mstdn.ca/@ned/113986362285108165

Since the farmers can afford all these expensive tractors, and the fuel [red diesel - should they even be on the public road with that?], they can afford to pay their taxes; taxes which are far less than the majority of taxpayers are obliged to pay. And why have they the time to do this, when they have farms to run? They keep telling us they have to work 24/7 for almost no wage.
Are any of them subject to the congestion charge that others are obliged to pay? #PayYourTaxes #Farmers #UKPolitics

@fkamiah17 On your panel of Moomin emojis there isn’t one? What a shame. here it is again for you :moomin_hattifatteners:
And here’s my whole panel to select from.

@fkamiah17 Perhaps @selzero will be able to assist?

@Remittancegirl @grayface_ghost Sodha is hard at it in today’s Guardian also. #TransRights

@thebeeguy America revealing more openly what it always has been. A racist, white mans consortium to control the world.

@Jennifer @thebeeguy If you think Musk is going to allow free and fair elections in two years time, you are deluded. Trump stated before being elected that voting for him would mean people never have to vote again. I do not believe he was lying at all. Musk’s people in DOGE are in all the computing systems - any ‘election’ will be similar to Putin or Kim John Un holding one - a 98% turnout who all vote for the same candidate. None of the people selected by Trump to run various departments are bothered about democracy in the slightest. Neither are any of the billionaire backers of this. Law, democracy and rules are over; congress and senate are irellevant as he’s bypassing all that with business done by Executive Order. And some ‘Democrats’ are voting for the completely unfit candidates he’s putting in charge of departments.

@Jennifer @thebeeguy I hope you are correct; although I fear the USA is far closer to Margaret Atwood’s tale of #Gilead than people in much of the USA realise or understand, so far. I’m looking at this from Ireland. Cancelling events like Black History Month, DEI in business, controlling womens autonomy etc is terrifying to see from elsewhere.

I wonder if the fake father - Calvin Robinson - friend of failed actor, Laurence Fox, has a green card or whatever is necessary to remain in the USA? It would be quite something to see this odious individual removed; but honestly, the UK does not want him back.

Make it make sense, please…..
No matter what age or difficulty is put on buying a knife, if some dangerous individual wants one, they can literally go to the kitchen drawer and take one from there. I very much doubt there is a house in the entire country that does not have a knife in it. And scissors can be taken apart. Knitting needles sharpened. Etc. etc. These kinds of laws and tightening do nothing, except waste time and money. None of this addresses the actual problem.
That child was reported to several services, and to the police on numerous occasions, and every single service and the police failed to do their duty each time. https://mastodon.ozioso.online/@RTENewsHeadlinesRSS/113894440365951973

@aral He could literally start a war with this carry on. Everyone needs to be prepared to protect Greenland, because if he ‘gets Greenland’ he’s going to come for another one he fancies after that; as well as the Panama Canal.

@GottaLaff

@MediaActivist If anyone wanted hard evidence that Netenyahu is a POS and denying the awful trauma of the historical facts of the Nazis, this is it.
Repellant. What’s worse is seeing countries still funding and supporting Israel and the IDF and not distancing themselves. I’m looking at Starmer, UK Labour and others.

@glynmoody I’m pretty sure they were warned up front, and by #FeloniousTrump himself. Yet they endorsed him anyway.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @pluralistic Canada can get goods elsewhere, and they could simply stop sending fossil fuels and a few other necessities to the USA for [say] a month. Might cause some short term pain for Canada, but letting #FeloniousTrump steam roll over them and inflict Tarriffs if they don’t accede to his bullying would be a big mistake; something that will destroy Canada in pretty short order.

@grayface_ghost As a cis woman, I fear greatly for my trans friends and associates. My eldest’s partner is trans, and they both live in London. I always hope they are safe and well.
I would add that as a woman living protectively is something most women do; and the few that have never been assaulted or propositioned or had someone put unwanted hands on them are very fortunate indeed. We learned to carry our keys threaded through our fingers, to keep back from cars asking for directions, how to walk without looking fearful or looking too obvious either…. And more. A great many of us know your fear, and are your friends. :purple_heart_sparkle:

@fkamiah17 Distraction here - beige.party have tons of mastodon emojis in various groups. Since you often share quotes from Moomin, I thought you might like a screenshot of the Moomin collection. And I know it will not distract you from book purchases and the other pleasures lined up for today.
