  1. @byron_miller I would use a Cloudflare tunnel using an addon in homeassistant called #CloudFlared very easy to setup and you can use a free domain name from #freenom at freenom.com

    #Diaspora has its own protocol. It's distributed and federated within itself, but it is not interested in federating to anything else. All federation to the outside was established by the developers of other networks and by reverse-engineering Diaspora*'s protocol and directly tapping into its databases because it didn't have an API back then.

    #Friendica has its own internal protocol, #DFRN. But Friendica's main goal was to federate with everything that moved. It was Friendica which established the first cross-project federation with Diaspora*. And Friendica also has #ActivityPub support. Otherwise, pretty much none of you could connect to @Fediverse News.

    #Hubzilla has its own internal protocol, #Zot. Hubzilla also has ActivityPub support, this time optionally for each user channel because everything that isn't Zot kind of stands in the way of Zot's main killer feature, #NomadicIdentity.

    Anything built from #Streams uses a successor of Zot, #Nomad. (streams)-based projects and instances have ActivityPub support, too, and like on Friendica, it's on by default.

    So the latter three can directly connect to everything that uses ActivityPub. Interaction between Diaspora* users and, for example, Mastodon users can only happen in the comments on a post from Friendica or Hubzilla.

  9. This is what happened when MAGA people at CPAC thought I was one of them.

    Exiled from the press pen, I was just part of the audience, a space previously off-limits to reporters.
    To say the least, it was enlightening.
    On Friday, for instance, I listened to a main-stage speech from Chris #Miller, a Republican running for governor of West Virginia.
    Because of its tax-exempt status, CPAC bans speakers from openly campaigning there, so he was listed on the program simply as “businessman.”

    Like virtually every other speaker at the event, Miller devoted several of his allotted five minutes to railing against #transgender #healthcare.
    “Woke doctors are literally making boys into girls,” he declared.
    “They’re practicing #mutilation, not medicine. They should be in prison.”
    At that point, a burly man in a giant black cowboy hat sitting next to me leaned over conspiratorially and proclaimed,
    “I think we should #hang them all! I really do.”
    And he laughed like we were in on the same joke.
    I confess that I was too cowardly to tell him I was with the left-wing fake news

    Later, during a speech by South Dakota Governor Kristi #Noem, I was sitting next to a woman in full-on MAGA gear.
    When Noem declared, “There are some people who love America, and there are some people who #hate America,” my neighbor gave me a small heart attack.
    “Get the FUCK OUT!” she yelled furiously, ready to rumble. “Get the FUCK OUT!”
    Meanwhile, the old man in the camo Trump hat next to her had somehow fallen asleep.

    In the hotel lobby outside the CPAC main stage, the right-wing cable network Real America’s Voice had set up a studio.
    #Bannon spent most of the conference holding court there and interviewing various MAGA celebs like Kash #Patel, who President Donald Trump had once put in charge of counterterrorism at the National Security Administration, or Rep. Byron #Donalds (R-FL), the rare Black conservative in the mix.
    The studio often drew a crowd that rivaled that of some of the speakers on the main stage. It certainly rivaled the convention in volume.

    While I was taking in the spectacle, a middle-aged man in a gray suit came up to me and pointed to a nearby 7-foot-high poster of Tucker #Carlson’s face.
    “Do you know why that’s here?” he asked.
    I explained that it was an ad for Tucker: The Biography, a book written by Chadwick Moore, a gay journalist and former liberal.
    “Oh, I see,” he replied. The man clearly wanted to keep talking, asking me what I was here for, which was unusual since in the past my press badge said it all.
    My inquisitor had come to #CPAC to see what people were saying about school choice and was disappointed to discover that the answer to that question was nothing.
    Education policy, he lamented, was nowhere to be found at this event. Indeed, what passed for policy discussions at CPAC this year was largely limited to mass #deportations and attacks on #trans athletes.
    The sober panels about the national debt, balancing the budget, or Social Security reform that once commanded top billing were a relic of another era before CPAC became an extension of Trump Inc., devoted to all the MAGA grievances like racial #equity, the evils of #windmills, or bans on gas #stoves.
    When I finally was able to explain that I was a reporter who’d been denied a press pass, the man launched into an earnest yet incomprehensible spiel about how the government is #censoring people. Politely, I fled into the crowd watching Bannon. 
    motherjones.com/politics/2024/

  10. So, there’s a lot going on. Pam #Bondi has been thrown on the sacrificial pyre, so that’s fun. Tel Aviv was pounded by #Iran, and the US media isn’t reporting it. The president of these united states has lost any semblance of rationality, and an abandoned Victorian doll haunted by the souls of unrepentant nazis (Stephen miller) is our shadow president.

    But I want to talk about Byron #Noem. And here’s why. I’m deeply uncomfortable with how “our” side is dealing with this. This was our chance to shine. We should have been out here saying that as kinks go, cross dressing is pretty fucking vanilla.

    We should have used this as a chance for pushing acceptance. Yes, Kristi Noem is a monster who signed anti LGBTQ laws as a governor, and who had the audacity to lecture us while she was mile-high clubbing on tax dollars.

    But we have the opportunity here to be the moral actors. If you are an ally, don’t let the right use this to further demonize #LGBTQA, or kinks for that matter.

  11. Can anyone stop Trump’s teardown of the East Wing? – The Washington Post

    Can anyone stop Trump’s teardown of the East Wing?

    Many preservationists fear the answer is no. A pro-Trump review board is expected to approve the president’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, too.

    President Donald Trump’s plan to build a White House ballroom has underscored an oft-overlooked aspect of presidential power: No one could stop the president from tearing down much of the East Wing this week.

    Photos of construction teams knocking down portions of the East Wing, first revealed by The Washington Post on Monday, have rattled city residents, historians and politicians, many of whom contended that Trump was wrongly tearing apart “The People’s House” to build his long-desired ballroom.

    “It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it,” Hillary Clinton, who battled Trump for the presidency in 2016, wrote on social media.

    Others contend that Trump’s shifting projections and promises — such as pledging in July that the ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the White House, and increasing his estimate of cost and how many people will fit in the building — illustrate the need for more transparency. Conservative commentator Byron York said Trump “needs to tell the public now what he is doing with the East Wing of the White House. And then tell the public why he didn’t tell them before he started doing it.”

    https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/1980609785666879553

    Rebecca Miller, executive director of the D.C. Preservation League, a nonprofit that advocates for protecting historic sites in Washington, said dozens of concerned citizens from the city and around the country have called and emailed her to express outrage.

    Miller said she has had to explain that the White House, because of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, is exempt from the required reviews that other federal agencies must undergo when seeking to alter government property.

    “Our hands are tied,” Miller said, adding that normally government officials discuss major projects with preservationists — but not this time. “It’s very frustrating that there’s nothing that the organization can do from a legal or advocacy perspective.”

    The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings, urged the administration “to pause demolition until plans for the proposed ballroom go through the legally required public review processes,” including a pair of commissions that have reviewed past White House construction.

    Polls have shown many Americans are concerned. YouGov polling conducted Tuesday found that 53 percent opposed demolishing part of the East Wing, 23 percent supported it and the remainder were unsure. YouGov also found that 23 percent believed the ballroom will have a positive effect on the White House, 35 percent believed it will have a negative effect, and the remainder were neutral or unsure.

    But the project is moving forward. White House officials said Tuesday to expect a full-scale teardown of the East Wing, defending it as a “modernization” of the building. They also touted past renovations, circulating a fact sheet that argued Trump was continuing a “proud presidential legacy” of changing the White House grounds — although the swimming pool, tennis pavilion and other past projects they highlighted pale next to the president’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, which would be nearly twice the footprint of the 55,000-square-foot main sectionof the White House next door. Trump said this week that the ballroom will seat nearly 1,000 people, up from an earlier estimate of about 650.

  16. The House Rules Committee's schedule for next week consists entirely of a half dozen bills to 😮prohibit the Energy Department from setting energy use standards for home appliances.😮
    The Liberty in Laundry Act, the Refrigerator Freedom Act and the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards, or SUDS, Act😂 are among the bills.
    There is no sign, however, of legislation to provide military aid to 🇺🇦Ukraine, 🇮🇱Israel or 🇹🇼Taiwan, which some lawmakers have said they expect to come up for a vote next week.

    "With any material vote, we've relied predominantly on Democrat[ic] votes. And then we want to pass messaging bills, that have no future in the Senate, to show what we stand for," Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) told Axios.'

    Good, the chair of the right-wing Freedom Caucus, said that dynamic is "not really doing anything for the American people."
    Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) told Axios he is "really #sick of these #messaging #bills," adding, "Yeah you support Israel, yeah you support Ukraine ... but what are you actually doing to help them by putting a piece of paper on the floor that's expressing the sentiment of Congress?"
    Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said House Republicans are "just #dallying with our time." "This country's got issues here – security, we've got debt, we've got all kinds of issues we've got to address," he said.

    Asked if there should be consequences for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and others GOP leaders, Good said, "Well, I don't think that's a sustainable future, to do what we've been doing now."
    Good is among a handful of #right-#wing #hardliners who have declined to say whether they would throw their potentially decisive support behind Rep. Marjorie Taylor #Greene (R-Ga.) if she forces a vote to remove Johnson.

    For some lawmakers, it's not just about next week or even the 118th Congress, but an indictment of the nature of modern politics.
    "Those post offices aren't going to name themselves," 😂Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) quipped ruefully when asked about the appliance votes.
    Burchett added: "I have bills in committees that don't get heard. Up here, there are two ways to get ahead: raise money and kiss a**. And I don't do a good job at either one of them ... it's the system, man. It's the system."

    Some GOP lawmakers said the appliance-related bills are worth their time, even if 🔹they don't stand a chance in the Senate.

    Rep. John Duarte (R-Calif.) said he would "like to get a lot of things done," but "we're going to protect Americans' choice on their home appliances."
    Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said he has no issue with the bills but wants "a strategy for how we're going to deal with the rest of this Congress."

    "It almost seems like [Senate Democratic Leader] Chuck Schumer is in charge of Congress," Nehls said.

    O ano de 2026 da Marvel começa já em janeiro com o lançamento de “Wonder Man” ou como é conhecido no Brasil “Magnum“, a 17ª série de televisão do Universo Cinematográfico Marvel (MCU), produzida pela Marvel Studios através de seu selo Marvel Television. A série também é produzida pela Family Owned e Onyx Collective.

    Nesta minissérie de oito episódios criada por Destin Daniel Cretton e Andrew Guest, acompanhamos Simon Williams — vivido por Yahya Abdul-Mateen II — um ator frustrado e cheio de ambições que vai de rejeições em audições até a chance de uma vida: interpretar o icônico Wonder Man numa nova versão do filme de super-herói dos anos 1970.

    O showrunner Andrew Guest descreveu o personagem como “incrivelmente poderoso de uma forma que nem ele mesmo tem plena consciência”, com o executivo da Marvel Studios, Brian Gay, acrescentando que Simon “nem sabe a extensão de seus poderes”, embora ambos tenham observado que o personagem não se importa de ter poderes e simplesmente quer ser um ator de sucesso como Daniel Day-Lewis.

    Abdul-Mateen explicou que Simon esconde seus poderes porque eles são malvistos na Hollywood ficcional do MCU. O personagem permitiu que ele explorasse “alguma tridimensionalidade” entre seu passado e seu relacionamento com a família, enquanto ainda era um super-herói.

    Ben Kingsley retorna como Trevor Slattery, ator que fracassado que anteriormente assumiu a identidade do Mandarim , trabalhando para Aldrich Killian em Homem de Ferro 3, e que mais tarde foi sequestrado pela organização Dez Anéis de Xu Wenwu em Shang-Chi e a Lenda dos Déz Anéis, que também está fazendo testes para o filme do Wonder Man.

    Slattery retorna a Hollywood após o rompimento com o Mandarim e os Dez Anéis para encontrar uma “segunda chance” como ator e provar à sua mãe, Dorothy, que ele era “o ator que [ela] sempre esperou que ele fosse”, com o Wonder Man mostrando Slattery assumindo a responsabilidade por seu comportamento passado.

    Guest chamou Slattery de um “personagem tipo Forrest Gump , tipo Chauncey Gardiner ” que consegue se “envolver em coisas maiores”. O produtor executivo e presidente da Marvel Television, Brad Winderbaum disse que o personagem tinha uma “estrutura de três atos muito interessante” dentro da série, que era “muito sincera, muito séria [e] não cínica”, com Kingsley acrescentando que Slattery é “puxado em duas direções”, incluindo a busca por sua ambição, mas “a um custo terrível”.

    O elenco ainda conta com Arian Moayed como P. Cleary, um agente do Departamento de Controle de Danos, Zlatko Burić como Von Kovak, diretor célebre que está dirigindo o remake de Wonder Man, Demetrius Grosse como Eric Williams/Ceifador, o irmão mais velho “estável” de Simon, X Mayo, Olivia Thirlby, Byron Bowers, Josh Gad, Lauren Glazier, Béchir Sylvain, Manny McCord, Simon Templeman, Joe Pantoliano,Dane Larsen, Phumzile Sitole, Jere Burns e Ed Harris como o agente de Simon, Neal Saroyan.

    Magnum” é descrito como autoconsciente e metalinguístico, uma sátira que comenta, com humor e sensibilidade, sobre a própria cultura dos super-heróis e a saturação do gênero, sem perder de vista a jornada humana de seus protagonistas.

    Magnum” (Wonder Man) estreia com todos os oito episódios em 27 de janeiro no catálogo do Disney+.

    VisionQuest

    Criação: Terry Matalas
    Estúdio
    : Marvel Studios (Television), Disney
    Estreia:
     Segundo semestre de 2026

    Imagine um herói que sempre esteve no meio do Universo Cinematográfico Marvel, mas que agora precisa olhar para dentro de si mesmo para descobrir quem ele realmente é. Essa é a proposta de “VisionQuest“, a minissérie, pronta para fechar uma trilogia iniciada por “WandaVision” (2021) e continuada em “Agatha Desde Sempre” (2024).

    Paul Bettany reprisa seu papel como Visão Branco — a versão reconstruída do androide Visão. Após os eventos de WandaVision, ele carrega todas as memórias do Visão original, mas luta para conectar essas lembranças com emoções reais, iniciando uma jornada profunda de autodescoberta que promete ser ao mesmo tempo introspectiva e surpreendentemente humana.

    Criada por Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard), o enredo mergulha no psicológico, levando o espectador literalmente para dentro da mente de Visão, onde programas de inteligência artificial criados por Tony Stark — como Ultron, J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y. e E.D.I.T.H. — ganham formas humanas e conversam com ele de maneiras inesperadas e até perturbadoras.

    Além disso, a série promete reunir personagens que marcaram décadas do UCM, com James Spader retornando como Ultron e um elenco que inclui Todd Stashwick como Paladino, um caçador de recompensas que está caçando Visão, T’Nia Miller como Jocasta, Emily Hampshire como EDITH, Orla Brady como FRIDAY, Henry Lewis como DUM-E, Jonathan Sayer como U e James D’Arcy como JARVIS, a primeira IA criada por Stark.

    Além disso, Faran Tahir reprisa seu papel como Raza, o líder da facção Dez Anéis que sequestrou Stark no filme “Homem de Ferro” (2008). Também aparecem Lauren Morais como Lisa Molinari, Diane Morgan como uma associada de Paladin; e Mary McDonnell em um papel não revelado.

    O ator Ruaridh Mollica vai interpretar Tommy Maximoff, filho velocista de Visão e Wanda Maximoff , cuja alma foi colocada no corpo adolescente de Thomas Shepherd por seu irmão gêmeo Billy Maximoff na série Agatha Desde Sempre (2024).

    VisionQuest” estreia no segundo semestre de 2026 no catálogo do Disney+.

    Lanternas

    Criação: Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, Tom King
    Estúdio
    : DC Studios, Warner Bros. Television, HBO
    Estreia:
     Entre Julho e Setembro de 2026

    Após anos de desenvolvimento, iniciado originalmente em 2019 como uma produção da HBO Max, com envolvimento de Greg Berlanti, e estrelada por Finn Wittrock como Guy Gardner e Jeremy Irvine como Alan Scott em 2021, a série dos Lanternas Verdes foi completamente reformulada com a chegada de James Gunn e Peter Safran como co-presidentes e co-CEOs da recém-formada DC Studios em outubro de 2022.

    Desta vez a produção que veremos neste ano se concentrar em John Stewart fazendo dupla com a lenda da Tropa Hal Jordan. Com criação de Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof e Tom King, a série “Lanternas” acompanha o experiente Lanterna Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) e o recruta novato John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) enquanto investigam um assassinato no Nebraska, o que os leva a mistérios e acertos de contas mais sombrios.

    Kyle Chandler viverá Hal Jordan, um ex-piloto de testes e membro lendário da Tropa dos Lanternas Verdes que está se aproximando da aposentadoria, e está treinando John Stewart. Os roteiristas se inspiraram na interpretação de Sam Shepard como Chuck Yeager no filme “Os Eleitos” (1983).

    O showrunner Chris Mundy sentiu que Chandler tinha as mesmas qualidades, bem como um humor seco que eles consideravam importante para Jordan.

    Aaron Pierre será John Stewart, um novo recruta dos Lanternas Verdes que Jordan está treinando para substituí-lo. Mundy disse que irão adaptar as duas origens do personagem, em que ele era tanto um fuzileiro naval quanto um arquiteto, e sentiu que Pierre poderia retratar ambos os aspectos.

    Ele disse que Pierre era um “ator de teatro sério, mas também parece ter sido construído em um laboratório para ser uma estrela de ação”. O diretor James Hawes disse que Pierre tinha “uma presença magnífica. Ele parece tão imponente, tão frio, tão discreto.”

    O elenco também conta com Kelly Macdonald como a xerife Kerry, Poorna Jagannathan como Zoe, possível interesse amoroso de John StewartGarrett Dillahunt como William Macon, Jason Ritter como Billy Macon, Nicole Ari Parker e Jasmine Cephas Jones como versões adulta e jovem de Bernadette Stewart, mãe de JohnSherman Augustus e J. Alphonse Nicholson como versões de John Stewart Sr.Chris Coy como Waylon SandersUlrich Thomsen como o supervilão Sinestro e Paul Ben-Victor como Antaan, com rumores de que seja Atrocitus, vilão líder da Tropa dos Lanternas Vermelhos.

    Outro nome especulado é o de Laura Linney, indicada três vezes ao Oscar e ao Emmy, como possível Carol Ferris, interesse romântico de Hal Jordan que também assume o papel de Safira Estrela nos quadrinhos.

    A 1ª temporada de “Lanternas” estreia entre julho e setembro de 2026 na HBO e no catálogo da HBO Max (e daqui à alguns anos na Netflix).

    Fazendo parte do novo Universo DC (DCU) de James Gunn, o terror corporal “Cara-de-Barro” (Clayface) vem mostrar a versatilidade de gêneros do Universo.

    Com roteiro  inicial foi escrito por Mike Flanagan (A Maldição da Residência Hill, A Maldição da Mansão Bly, Missa da Meia-Noite, A Queda da Casa de Usher, Doutor Sono), com revisões de Hossein Amini (Drive), e dirigido por James Watkins (“Não Fale o Mal”) o filme se baseará  tanto no clássico A Mosca (1986), de David Cronenberg, quanto no icônico episódio Feat of Clay (Perito em Formas Humanas) de Batman: A Série Animada“.

    Seu Amigão da Vizinhança, Homem-Aranha – 2ª temporada

    Criação: Jeff Trammell
    Estúdio
    : Marvel Studios (Animation), Disney
    Estreia:
     Segundo semestre de 2026

    A versão alternativa do Homem-Aranha do MCU retorna para a 2ª temporada, continuando com a premissa “e se a mentoria fosse ao contrário?” — com Norman Osborn como a influência orientadora (e possivelmente corrosiva) de Peter, em vez de Tony Stark.

    O criador e showrunner Jeff Trammell permanece como o pilar tonal da série, mantendo-a fiel ao DNA clássico do Homem-Aranha em sua jornada de amadurecimento, enquanto permite que a premissa do multiverso reinvente a mitologia familiar.

    Hudson Thames volta a dublar Peter Parker/Homem-Aranha, ao lado de vozes importantes que retornam, incluindo Colman Domingo como Norman Osborn e Charlie Cox como Demolidor. Personagens que também retornam da 1ª temporada incluem Nico Minoru, Harry Osborn, Otto Octavius, Dmitri Smerdyakov/Camaleão e Mac Gargan/Escorpião.

    A personagem Gwen Stacy e o seu alter-ego Spider-Gwen, deve finalmente aparecer, mas ainda não se sabe quem a dublará.

    A 2ª temporada de “Seu Amigão da Vizinhança, Homem-Aranha” estreia no segundo semestre de 2026 no catálogo do Disney+.

    Quando Bruce Wayne decide que Gotham não vai sucumbir à criminalidade sem lutar, ele veste sua capa e mergulha de cabeça em uma guerra que é tão psicológica quanto física — e é exatamente essa intensidade que a 2ª temporada de “Batman: Cruzado Encapuzado” (Batman: Caped Crusader) promete elevar ao máximo.

    A animação, uma das mais intrigantes releituras do mito do Homem-Morcego, foi criada por nomes lendários como Bruce Timm (Batman: A Série Animada), com produção de J.J. Abrams e Matt Reeves, trazendo uma Gotham de espírito noir dos anos 1940.

    Na 1ª temporada, vimos um Bruce Wayne em sua cruzada solitária contra o crime, enfrentando gangues e vilões clássicos em uma cidade corroída pela corrupção e pelo medo, um retrato que chamou atenção por misturar estética retrô com narrativa moderna e sombria.

    Agora, na 2ª temporada, essa tonalidade ganhará ainda mais profundidade quando o Coringa assume o papel de antagonista principal. James Tucker, co-showrunner da série, revelou que esta nova interpretação do Palhaço do Crime será bastante diferente das vertentes mais conhecidas.

    A pré-produção já está em andamento, com roteiros sendo trabalhados e a equipe cumprindo os primeiros passos da produção, o que reforça a dedicação em entregar uma sequência digna do legado que a série instaurou.

    Por anos, a Sony tentou estabelecer um universo live-action de vilões e personagens secundários do “Homem-Aranha”, (“Venom, Morbius, Madame-Teia, Kraven, o Caçador“) apesar de inúmeras tentativas os projetos se mostraram ser um tremendo fracasso, tendo apenas uma trilogia de sucesso.

    Mas, de repente, o Homem-Aranha Noir, personagem imortalizado por Nicolas Cage no sucesso de animação “Homem-Aranha no Aranhaverso”, ganhou vida excepcionalmente rápido em 2024.

    Desenvolvida por Oren Uziel e Steve Lightfoot, a série “Aranha-Noir (Spider-Noir)” traz Cage de volta ao papel de Noir, mas não interpretando Peter Parker, e sim Ben Riley, um investigador particular azarado que luta contra seu passado como o único super-herói da cidade na Nova York dos anos 1930.

    Brendan Gleeson viverá um chefe da máfia de Nova York. Gleeson descreveu o personagem como um filósofo com “uma visão panorâmica” que é igualmente perigoso; Lamorne Morris será como Robbie Robertson, um jornalista trabalhador que busca histórias mais arriscadas para atrair atenção e progredir na carreira. O personagem apareceu na trilogia do Homem-Aranha, de Sam Raimi.

    O elenco também inclui Jack Huston, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Lukas Hass, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Lewis Caldwell, Amy Aquino, e Andrew Robinson.

    There is something very disturbing about these freedom caucus members' support for Putin, attempts to destroy democracy, social security and whole agencies and their funding by Peter Theil and Koch.

    “It's becoming clear now: This is January 6th, Episode II. The Freedom Caucus is demanding debt default, which will spark a ~$15T global financial crisis. COVID was ~$4T. This will only help Putin and his BRICS+/GGC allies.”

    Skeptical but curious, I plugged the names of each of the 20 Republicans who voted against McCarthy in the first vote yesterday into a search engine along with the word “Russia.” Here’s what I found about 15 of them:

    Andy Biggs voted against legislation to document Russian war crimes in Ukraine, as did Paul Gosar and Scott Perry.

    Matt Gaetz, Dan Bishop, Paul Gosar, Ralph Norman, and Scott Perry all voted against suspending normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus.

    Dan Bishop, Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, and Chip Roy all voted against a bill to ban imports of Russian oil and gas.

    Those four also voted against legislation to strip Russia from “most favored nation status” by the World Trade Organization.

    Paul Gosar and Matt Rosendale both voted against a resolution that reaffirmed US support for Ukrainian sovereignty.

    John Brecheen is new to Congress, but when asked by his local newspaper about whether America should support Ukraine against the Russian invasion he replied, “My position is I would not have voted for funding of war.”

    Michael Cloud tweeted: “The Biden Admin has ignored a year-long invasion at our southern border but is considering risking the lives of U.S. soldiers to protect Ukraine's border? Ukraine is thousands of miles away.”

    Voting against Sweden and Finland joining NATO, a pet Putin peeve, were Michael Cloud, Andy Biggs, Dan Bishop, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, Bob Good, Ralph Norman, and Chip Roy.

    Eli Crane says of the US supporting Ukraine, “This is a war we shouldn’t be involved in,” and it will make the Afghanistan exit “look like child’s play.”

    Matt Gaetz tweeted: “Today the House didn't organize. Biggest loser: Zelensky. Biggest winner: U.S. Taxpayers.” He also tweeted: “I’m more concerned with the US-Mexico border than the Russia-Ukraine border. Not sorry.”

    Opposing US aid to Ukraine, Matt Gaetz told a CPAC audience: “Why should Americans have to pay the costs for freedom elsewhere when our own leaders won't stand up for our freedom here?”

    Paul Gosar tweeted: “Ukraine is not our ally. Russia is not our enemy. We need to address our crippling debt, inflation and immigration problems. None of this is Putin's fault.”

    Paul Gosar wrote an open letter to the White House asking President Biden to “refrain from participating in its annually recurring nuclear exercise ‘Steadfast Noon’ in conjunction with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to ‘prevent further escalation.’”

    Paul Gosar tweeted: “Putin puts Russia first as he should.”

    Mary Miller, Bob Good, Ralph Norman, Andy Biggs, and Matt Gaetz co-sponsored legislation to forbid any further delivery of military equipment to Ukraine.
    ...
    Ralph Norman, who called for Trump to impose “Marshall law” to prevent Biden from being sworn in, first issued a statement on day one of the invasion of Ukraine condemning Russia but then voted “No” on US aid to Ukraine in September and continues to oppose such aid.
    ...
    Matt Rosendale issued a statement saying: “The United States has no legal or moral obligation to come to the aid of either side in this foreign conflict.” He voted against a resolution “supporting the people of Ukraine.” He also introduced legislation blocking any US aid to Ukraine.

    Byron Donalds voted against US aid to Ukraine.
    ...
    While none of this proves that the anti-McCarthy forces are getting their marching orders from Putin, it does raise some significant questions about their commitment to the continuation of the current form and nature of our government. I think Dave Troy’s idea is worth taking seriously.

    Because the outcome he contemplates is something both the rightwing billionaires and Putin could get behind."

    Good Day, Sky Dancers!

    I was lucky that working with students last night interfered with any attempt to turn on the Fascist Rally at the World’s Most Famous Arena. This wasn’t exactly Ali against Frazier or Holyfield vs Lewis. This was more like #DonOld vs the Majority of the country. The opening bouts were lame.

    My short take on this is it was basically a Crazy Old Cult Leader warming his brood up for the Ultimate Kool-Aid moment.  Unfortunately, we previewed that on January 6, so I hope that law enforcement agencies are prepared. The Ultimate Chaos Agent is making his play for a coup

    This brings me to this dangerous conspiracy theory making the rounds.  To think, I was simply walking the dog around the block!  I got told a conspiracy theory by a short-order cook at a local bar who has said crazy things before, so I thought I’d look into it to prove him wrong.   His favorite spiel is that the right wing and the left wing are the same, and the government is corrupt. Which is partially correct.  Look at Jill Stein and Robert Kennedy hooked up with the Fascists and Putin. If you take populism to its furthest corners of the right and the left, they eventually bump butts with each other.  However, the left wing and the right in the United States do not wield the same power, and they are not of equal size.  There’s no real leftist power in this country. The billionaire class has been funding the extreme right-wing for decades now, and it shows. Polls on issues show that most Americans agree on the major things.  The problem is that the political system does not play towards consensus.

    This guy insisted the DOD is sneaking a policy to Congress to approve the use of military force on civilians. Now, if DJT was in power, I believe he’d try that, although it would take a lot more than a policy of the DOD or an act of Congress to amend the Constitution.  Even when I came back to show him the actual act to show him it says nothing of the kind, he insisted he’d read it, and that’s what he said. But when I invested it, I thought, wow, that looks like the will of the Ultimate Chaos Agent!

    This link leads to DOD DIRECTIVE 5240.01 (DOD INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE-RELATED ACTIVITIES, AND DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENT, ASSISTANCE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER CIVIL AUTHORITIES.) It’s short, and the language is easy to comprehend. So, I did some research, and now I think it’s important enough of the conspiracy theory in light of the Prepare for War rally in Madison Square. Here’s what I found with a little dank rabbit hole exploring.  “Far-Right Suggests Military Just Authorized Lethal Force Against Americans Ahead of the Election. It Didn’t.  As Trump warns about an “enemy from within,” a Defense Department directive set off a firestorm on alt-tech social media. But the Insurrection Act is the real threat, experts say.”  This is from a Blog Called The War Horse and it’s written by Sonner Kehrt.

    Just as former president Donald Trump told Fox News  last week that he wanted to use the U.S. military to “handle” what he called the “enemy from within” on Election Day, an obscure military policy was beginning to make the rounds on social media platforms favored by the far right.

    The focus? Department of Defense Directive 5240.01.

    The 22-page document governs military intelligence activities and is among more than a thousand different policies that outline Defense Department procedures.

    The Pentagon updated it at the end of September. Although military policies are routinely updated and reissued, the timing of this one—just six weeks before the election and the same day Hurricane Helene slammed into the Southeast—struck right-wing misinformation merchants as suspicious.

    They latched onto a new reference in the updated directive—“lethal force”—and soon were falsely claiming that the change means Kamala Harris had authorized the military to kill civilians if there is unrest after the election.

    That’s flat-out not true, the Pentagon and experts on military policy told The War Horse.

    “The provisions in [the directive] are not new, and do not authorize the Secretary of Defense to use lethal force against U.S. citizens, contrary to rumors and rhetoric circulating on social media,” Sue Gough, a Department of Defense spokesperson, said Wednesday night.

    But as Trump doubles down on his “enemy from within” rhetoric, DOD Directive 5240.01 continues to gain traction among his supporters as ostensible proof that Harris, not Trump, wants to use the military against American citizens.

    By early last week, “5240.01” began to spike on alt-tech platforms such as Rumble, 4chan, and Telegram, as well as on more mainstream platforms like X, according to an analysis by The War Horse and UC Berkeley’s Human Rights Center.

    On Ron Paul’s Liberty Report, a YouTube show, the former Texas congressman told viewers that the policy meant that the country is now a “police state.” Republican Maryland congressman Andy Harris told Newsmax host Chris Salcedo last Wednesday that he was concerned the Defense Department was pushing through policies without congressional oversight.

    “This is exactly what the Democrats said Trump would do. And they’re doing it,” he said. “This means that after an election, they could declare national emergency and literally call out the Army in the United States.”

    Former Trump national security adviser and retired Army Lieutenant Gen. Michael Flynn tweeted the policy update out to his 1.7 million followers, just as he shared the week before a video suggesting the military had manipulated the weather to focus Hurricane Helene’s deadly fury on Republican voters in the South.

    “Republican election fraud season is in full swing.” John Buss, @repeat1968

    I really see this as a way to ensure their well-armed militia shows up at the local courthouse or state house well-armed when the vote count starts meaningfully leaning towards a Harris/Walz Administration.  The ACLU has had this policy firmly in its FOIA grip since 1982.  The documents are out there with no commentary or urgent lawsuits filed.  You would think they’d be interested.

    The Center for Informed Policy at the University of Washington is more interested in those conspiracy theories. “Rumors rapidly spreading about reissued Department of Defense Directive 5240.01” explains the right wing’s angst on this one in its 2024 U.S. ELECTIONS RAPID RESEARCH BLOG.

    Key Takeaways

    • Early last week, rumors started to spread between multiple social media platforms and across political communities online about a recently reissued Department of Defense Directive 5240.01 that documents procedures when there is a potential use of lethal force.
    • Some online communities have speculated that the directive’s changes are timed with the upcoming election, with some suggesting without evidence that the intent behind the change is that the government is planning to use force against Americans.
    • The viral spread could be exploiting a data void – a situation where there is no reliable information about a topic in search results — given there are no published fact-checks or traditional journalist coverage of the directive’s changes.

    Just Security calls it “Much Ado About Nothing.” Oddly enough, this was an article my neighborhood weirdo was about to show me when he read the title and then suddenly closed it, and just as I said oh, Just Security is a reliable source.  They conclude with this, which is similar to a thought in The War Horse. That’s the real danger is the Insurrection Act that Trump used to go after George Floyd Protestors with the National Guard. His stated goal was to support local law enforcement in Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C., on May 30, 2020.  You probably will remember this culminating with the upside-down bible event. The ACLU is very interested in that event.

    To be sure, there are good reasons to be concerned about the federal government’s power to use the armed forces domestically against Americans, but the new language in Directive 5240.01 is not one of them. The Insurrection Act represents a far greater danger. It gives the president broad discretion to use the military as a domestic police force and contains virtually no safeguards to prevent abuse. The Brennan Center for Justice, where we work, has put forward a comprehensive proposal for reforming the Insurrection Act, and a bipartisan group of former national security officials convened by the American Law Institute has similarly called for Insurrection Act reform. Those who are currently sounding the alarm about Directive 5240.01 would do well to refocus their energies on that critical task.

    I just messaged it off to one of the MSNBC Anchors I chat with on occasion, so I’m about to see if I can get someone serious journalism on it with the hope of getting rid of the data void.

    So, before I tackle the main event, I have one more nerdy article to suggest.  This is about the odds makers.  This is from Good Authority. The analysis is provided by Josh Clinton. “Poll results depend on pollster choices as much as voters’ decisions. Simple changes in how to weight a single poll can move the Harris-Trump margin 8 points.”

    There is no end of scrutiny of the 2024 election polls – who is ahead, who is behind, how much the polls will miss the election outcome, etc., etc. These questions have become even more pressing because the presidential race seems to be a toss-up. Every percentage point for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump matters.

    But here’s the big problem that no one talks about very much: Simple and defensible decisions by pollsters can drastically change the reported margin between Harris and Trump. I’ll show that the margin can change by as much as eight points. Reasonable decisions produce a margin that ranges from Harris +0.9% to Harris +8%.

    This reality highlights that we ask far too much of polls. Ultimately, it’s hard to know how much poll numbers reflect the decisions of voters – or the decisions of pollsters.

    The 4 key questions for pollsters

    After poll data are collected, pollsters must assess whether they need to adjust or “weight” the data to address the very real possibility that the people who took the poll differ from those who did not. This involves answering four questions:

    1.   Do respondents match the electorate demographically in terms of sex, age, education, race, etc.? (This was a problem in 2016.)

    2.   Do respondents match the electorate politically after the sample is adjusted by demographic factors? (This was the problem in 2020.)

    3.   Which respondents will vote?

    4.   Should the pollster trust the data?

    To show how the answers to these questions can affect poll results, I use a national survey conducted from October 7 – 14, 2024. The sample included 1,924 self-reported registered voters drawn from an online, high-quality panel commonly used in academic and commercial work.

    After dropping the respondents who said they were not sure who they would vote for (3.2%) and those with missing demographics, the unweighted data give Harris a 6 percentage point lead – 51.6 % to 45.5% – among the remaining 1,718 respondents.

    You may read more details about those factors at the link.  I try not to put my students to sleep during statistics lectures, so I certainly won’t do it to you.  The reporting and clips on the Madison Square Garden Rally kept me up most of the night. I felt like the child in grade school watching the teacher thread the film through those blue projectors only to see things my Dad didn’t want to remember about World War 2. I don’t know about you, but my school district did not hold back on the World War 2 experience. One of my high school teachers wrote a book on his experience as a prisoner taken during the Battle of the Bulge.  I was surrounded by friends’ parents and my parents’ friends who were Veterans.  We watched the films of the 1936 Olympics and heroes like Jesse Owens and, of course, all the Hitler and Mussolini public speeches. If you were like little me, I couldn’t understand who could fall for any of that.

    I also saw films of the United States turning away Jewish people in ships fleeing Europe and films of the internment of Japanese-Americans. All of these seemed surreal to me at the ripe old age of 11.

    Now, I know more. Now I can identify people that just love to goosestep with whom I would not share the location of any modern day Anne Frank.

    Tom Toles Editorial Cartoon

    CNN Analyst Stephen Collinson has this analysis. “Trump unveils the most extreme closing argument in modern presidential history.”  The MAGA movement is about hating and eliminating everyone who isn’t like them.

    Donald Trump anchored his bid to win a second White House term next week on searing anti-migrant fear at a rally at Madison Square Garden, doubling down on his promise for a massive deportation program on Day 1 to reverse an “immigrant invasion.”

    As the ex-president’s allies defend him against Democratic claims he is a “fascist” and an authoritarian in waiting, based in part on warnings by his ex-chief of staff John Kelly, Trump on Sunday delivered a screed that may augur the most extreme presidency in modern history if he beats Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on November 5.

    “The United States is an occupied country,” Trump said, as Democrats projected messages on the exterior of the storied New York City arena, reading “Trump is Unhinged” and “Trump praised Hitler.”

    The huge rally was billed as the launch of the final stage of Trump’s bid to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in American political history after trying to overturn the result of the last election and leaving office in disgrace in 2021. Before he spoke, some of the ex-president’s top supporters flung race-based and vulgar rhetoric. Former congressional candidate David Rem called Harris the “antichrist” and “the devil,” while others lashed out at Hillary Clinton, “illegals” and homeless people. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”

    This is from Politico. The analysis is by Andrew Howard. “Fallout spreads from racist rhetoric at Trump’s MSG rally. “What you saw last night is a divisive America. That’s race-baiting. It’s all the things that we were doing in the ‘30s and ‘40s,” former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Monday.”

    Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally Sunday evening was supposed to provide his closing argument against Kamala Harris. Instead, Trump and his supporters are being forced to answer for hateful and racist rhetoric delivered from the podium Sunday night with just eight days left in the campaign.

    The comments, while reminiscent of many made by Trump in the campaign’s final weeks, were made by a comedian early in the night’s schedule and were supposed to be jokes. Now, they are dominating the news cycle and putting Trump’s campaign on the backfoot with just under a week until the election.

    Longtime Trump adviser Peter Navarro is calling the comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, “the biggest, stupidest asshole that ever came down the comedy pike” after he called Puerto Rico a “floating island of hot garbage” during his often-vulgar opening set.

    And Trump’s opponents are using the rally as proof of the former president’s divisiveness, going as far as likening the rhetoric from Sunday’s rally to the sinister 1939 Nazi rally that took place in the same venue.

    “My reaction is that was a combination of 1933 Germany, 1939 Madison Square Garden last night,” former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday morning. “What you saw last night is a divisive America. That’s race baiting. It’s all the things that we were doing in the ‘30s and ‘40s.”

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.), called Sunday night’s event a “hate rally.”

    “This was not just a presidential rally, this was not just a campaign rally. I think it’s important for people to understand these are mini January 6 rallies, these are mini Stop the Steal rallies,” she said on “Morning Joe.”

    Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds blamed the media for the backlash surrounding Sunday’s rally during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday, saying the media is too focused on “fear-mongering” and not “the facts and the substance.”

    “So to the New York Daily News, is it a racist rally if you have a Black man from Florida who’s originally from New York speaking at the rally? I don’t think so,” Donalds said. Still, Donalds distanced himself from Hinchcliffe’s comments.

    “I didn’t agree with what the comedian said. None of us did,” Donalds said. “When it came out, we were all like, ‘Wait what? Who? Did that get out? No, no, no.’ Nobody agreed with that. Nobody.”

    Last night, Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott, up for reelection this year in a state heavily populated with Puerto Ricans, wrote on social media that the “joke bombed for a reason,” and “Puerto Ricans are amazing people and amazing Americans!”

    Yet another Floridian, GOP Rep. María Elvira Salazar, was also quick to condemn the comedian. “This rhetoric does not reflect GOP values,” she wrote in a post on X Sunday evening.

    Early Monday morning, the Harris campaign was quick to jump in, highlighting headlines in 17 newspapers, eight clips from TV shows, and 29 other statements from politicians, celebrities and journalists.

    Famous Puerto Ricans rushed to bolster Harris, including pop-phenom Bad Bunny, along with Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin.

    Hinchcliffe’s backlash-inducing comments were not limited to Puerto Rico. The comedian also made a crude remark about “carving watermelons” after seeing a Black man in the audience. Another opener, businessman Grant Cardone, likened Harris’ advisers to “pimp handlers.”

    And Trump adviser Stephen Miller, who has shaped many of Trump’s immigration policies, said Americans are having their jobs “looted and stolen from them” and sent to foreign countries.

    I always turn to Historian Heather Cox Richardson for the final thoughts.

    I stand corrected. I thought this year’s October surprise was the reality that Trump’s mental state had slipped so badly he could not campaign in any coherent way.

    It turns out that the 2024 October surprise was the Trump campaign’s fascist rally at Madison Square Garden, a rally so extreme that Republicans running for office have been denouncing it all over social media tonight.

    There was never any question that this rally was going to be anything but an attempt to inflame Trump’s base. The plan for a rally at Madison Square Garden itself deliberately evoked its predecessor: a Nazi rally at the old Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939. About 18,000 people showed up for that “true Americanism” event, held on a stage that featured a huge portrait of George Washington in his Continental Army uniform flanked by swastikas.

    Like that earlier event, Trump’s rally was supposed to demonstrate power and inspire his base to violence.

    Apparently in anticipation of the rally, Trump on Friday night replaced his signature blue suit and red tie with the black and gold of the neofascist Proud Boys. That extremist group was central to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and has been rebuilding to support Trump again in 2024.

    On Saturday the Trump campaign released a list of 29 people set to be on the stage at the rally. Notably, the list was all MAGA Republicans, including vice presidential nominee Ohio senator J.D. Vance, House speaker Mike Johnson (LA), Representative Elise Stefanik (NY), Representative Byron Donalds (FL), Trump backer Elon Musk, Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., right-wing host Tucker Carlson, Trump sons Don Jr. and Eric, and Eric’s wife, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump.

    Libbey Dean of NewsNation noted that none of the seven Republicans running in New York’s competitive House races were on the list. When asked why not, according to Dean, Trump senior advisor Jason Miller said: “The demand, the request for people to speak, is quite extensive.” Asked if the campaign had turned down anyone who asked to speak, Miller said no.

    We could see the signs that he knew he probably wouldn’t win the minute Biden backed out. We could taste the panic in the air. We know his campaign is already spending more time in the Court trying to fuck with elections than with the ground game he delegated to Musk, who is out there basically running a personal game show with a million-dollar giveaway for attention.

    Marc Elias and his team have been in court for the Harris/Walz campaign, which has been fighting Trump’s legal team that is  “flooding the zone” with lawsuits and election tricks.   #DonOld is clearly not physically or mentally capable of carrying on a campaign that requires giving cogent speeches and long hours. The only thing he excels at is creating chaos.  “Marc Elias, Voting Rights Attorney, joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with a look at the work that Trump allies and attorneys are doing ahead of the 2024 Election in order to create doubt and confusion which will enable Donald Trump to deny the results of the 2024 Election should he lose again. ”

    Here are the arguments for the Ultimate Chaos Agent in the Wallace/Elias interview.

    The question is, will creating chaos be enough to bring the Republic and the voting and judicial systems to their knees?  Can he knock out the Constitution, or will We the People knock him out on November 5th.  We need the KO. These things keep me awake at night with my stomach churning and jumping like a kid about to take his ACTs.

    Good Day, Sky Dancers!

    I was lucky that working with students last night interfered with any attempt to turn on the Fascist Rally at the World’s Most Famous Arena. This wasn’t exactly Ali against Frazier or Holyfield vs Lewis. This was more like #DonOld vs the Majority of the country. The opening bouts were lame.

    My short take on this is it was basically a Crazy Old Cult Leader warming his brood up for the Ultimate Kool-Aid moment.  Unfortunately, we previewed that on January 6, so I hope that law enforcement agencies are prepared. The Ultimate Chaos Agent is making his play for a coup

    This brings me to this dangerous conspiracy theory making the rounds.  To think, I was simply walking the dog around the block!  I got told a conspiracy theory by a short-order cook at a local bar who has said crazy things before, so I thought I’d look into it to prove him wrong.   His favorite spiel is that the right wing and the left wing are the same, and the government is corrupt. Which is partially correct.  Look at Jill Stein and Robert Kennedy hooked up with the Fascists and Putin. If you take populism to its furthest corners of the right and the left, they eventually bump butts with each other.  However, the left wing and the right in the United States do not wield the same power, and they are not of equal size.  There’s no real leftist power in this country. The billionaire class has been funding the extreme right-wing for decades now, and it shows. Polls on issues show that most Americans agree on the major things.  The problem is that the political system does not play towards consensus.

    This guy insisted the DOD is sneaking a policy to Congress to approve the use of military force on civilians. Now, if DJT was in power, I believe he’d try that, although it would take a lot more than a policy of the DOD or an act of Congress to amend the Constitution.  Even when I came back to show him the actual act to show him it says nothing of the kind, he insisted he’d read it, and that’s what he said. But when I invested it, I thought, wow, that looks like the will of the Ultimate Chaos Agent!

    This link leads to DOD DIRECTIVE 5240.01 (DOD INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE-RELATED ACTIVITIES, AND DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENT, ASSISTANCE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER CIVIL AUTHORITIES.) It’s short, and the language is easy to comprehend. So, I did some research, and now I think it’s important enough of the conspiracy theory in light of the Prepare for War rally in Madison Square. Here’s what I found with a little dank rabbit hole exploring.  “Far-Right Suggests Military Just Authorized Lethal Force Against Americans Ahead of the Election. It Didn’t.  As Trump warns about an “enemy from within,” a Defense Department directive set off a firestorm on alt-tech social media. But the Insurrection Act is the real threat, experts say.”  This is from a Blog Called The War Horse and it’s written by Sonner Kehrt.

    Just as former president Donald Trump told Fox News  last week that he wanted to use the U.S. military to “handle” what he called the “enemy from within” on Election Day, an obscure military policy was beginning to make the rounds on social media platforms favored by the far right.

    The focus? Department of Defense Directive 5240.01.

    The 22-page document governs military intelligence activities and is among more than a thousand different policies that outline Defense Department procedures.

    The Pentagon updated it at the end of September. Although military policies are routinely updated and reissued, the timing of this one—just six weeks before the election and the same day Hurricane Helene slammed into the Southeast—struck right-wing misinformation merchants as suspicious.

    They latched onto a new reference in the updated directive—“lethal force”—and soon were falsely claiming that the change means Kamala Harris had authorized the military to kill civilians if there is unrest after the election.

    That’s flat-out not true, the Pentagon and experts on military policy told The War Horse.

    “The provisions in [the directive] are not new, and do not authorize the Secretary of Defense to use lethal force against U.S. citizens, contrary to rumors and rhetoric circulating on social media,” Sue Gough, a Department of Defense spokesperson, said Wednesday night.

    But as Trump doubles down on his “enemy from within” rhetoric, DOD Directive 5240.01 continues to gain traction among his supporters as ostensible proof that Harris, not Trump, wants to use the military against American citizens.

    By early last week, “5240.01” began to spike on alt-tech platforms such as Rumble, 4chan, and Telegram, as well as on more mainstream platforms like X, according to an analysis by The War Horse and UC Berkeley’s Human Rights Center.

    On Ron Paul’s Liberty Report, a YouTube show, the former Texas congressman told viewers that the policy meant that the country is now a “police state.” Republican Maryland congressman Andy Harris told Newsmax host Chris Salcedo last Wednesday that he was concerned the Defense Department was pushing through policies without congressional oversight.

    “This is exactly what the Democrats said Trump would do. And they’re doing it,” he said. “This means that after an election, they could declare national emergency and literally call out the Army in the United States.”

    Former Trump national security adviser and retired Army Lieutenant Gen. Michael Flynn tweeted the policy update out to his 1.7 million followers, just as he shared the week before a video suggesting the military had manipulated the weather to focus Hurricane Helene’s deadly fury on Republican voters in the South.

    “Republican election fraud season is in full swing.” John Buss, @repeat1968

    I really see this as a way to ensure their well-armed militia shows up at the local courthouse or state house well-armed when the vote count starts meaningfully leaning towards a Harris/Walz Administration.  The ACLU has had this policy firmly in its FOIA grip since 1982.  The documents are out there with no commentary or urgent lawsuits filed.  You would think they’d be interested.

    The Center for Informed Policy at the University of Washington is more interested in those conspiracy theories. “Rumors rapidly spreading about reissued Department of Defense Directive 5240.01” explains the right wing’s angst on this one in its 2024 U.S. ELECTIONS RAPID RESEARCH BLOG.

    Key Takeaways

    • Early last week, rumors started to spread between multiple social media platforms and across political communities online about a recently reissued Department of Defense Directive 5240.01 that documents procedures when there is a potential use of lethal force.
    • Some online communities have speculated that the directive’s changes are timed with the upcoming election, with some suggesting without evidence that the intent behind the change is that the government is planning to use force against Americans.
    • The viral spread could be exploiting a data void – a situation where there is no reliable information about a topic in search results — given there are no published fact-checks or traditional journalist coverage of the directive’s changes.

    Just Security calls it “Much Ado About Nothing.” Oddly enough, this was an article my neighborhood weirdo was about to show me when he read the title and then suddenly closed it, and just as I said oh, Just Security is a reliable source.  They conclude with this, which is similar to a thought in The War Horse. That’s the real danger is the Insurrection Act that Trump used to go after George Floyd Protestors with the National Guard. His stated goal was to support local law enforcement in Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C., on May 30, 2020.  You probably will remember this culminating with the upside-down bible event. The ACLU is very interested in that event.

    To be sure, there are good reasons to be concerned about the federal government’s power to use the armed forces domestically against Americans, but the new language in Directive 5240.01 is not one of them. The Insurrection Act represents a far greater danger. It gives the president broad discretion to use the military as a domestic police force and contains virtually no safeguards to prevent abuse. The Brennan Center for Justice, where we work, has put forward a comprehensive proposal for reforming the Insurrection Act, and a bipartisan group of former national security officials convened by the American Law Institute has similarly called for Insurrection Act reform.

    On Saturday the Trump campaign released a list of 29 people set to be on the stage at the rally. Notably, the list was all MAGA Republicans, including vice presidential nominee Ohio senator J.D. Vance, House speaker Mike Johnson (LA), Representative Elise Stefanik (NY), Representative Byron Donalds (FL), Trump backer Elon Musk, Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., right-wing host Tucker Carlson, Trump sons Don Jr. and Eric, and Eric’s wife, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump.

    Libbey Dean of NewsNation noted that none of the seven Republicans running in New York’s competitive House races were on the list. When asked why not, according to Dean, Trump senior advisor Jason Miller said: “The demand, the request for people to speak, is quite extensive.” Asked if the campaign had turned down anyone who asked to speak, Miller said no.

    We could see the signs that he knew he probably wouldn’t win the minute Biden backed out. We could taste the panic in the air. We know his campaign is already spending more time in the Court trying to fuck with elections than with the ground game he delegated to Musk, who is out there basically running a personal game show with a million-dollar giveaway for attention.

    Marc Elias and his team have been in court for the Harris/Walz campaign, which has been fighting Trump’s legal team that is  “flooding the zone” with lawsuits and election tricks.   #DonOld is clearly not physically or mentally capable of carrying on a campaign that requires giving cogent speeches and long hours. The only thing he excels at is creating chaos.  “Marc Elias, Voting Rights Attorney, joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with a look at the work that Trump allies and attorneys are doing ahead of the 2024 Election in order to create doubt and confusion which will enable Donald Trump to deny the results of the 2024 Election should he lose again. ”

    Here are the arguments for the Ultimate Chaos Agent in the Wallace/Elias interview.

    The question is, will creating chaos be enough to bring the Republic and the voting and judicial systems to their knees?  Can he knock out the Constitution, or will We the People knock him out on November 5th.  We need the KO. These things keep me awake at night with my stomach churning and jumping like a kid about to take his ACTs.

  21. #230 – The mythology of the bear, and Bryon gets apocalyptic

    https://open.spotify.com/episode/4V23wwGV82kf7OKYWIDPNl?si=b2a84d32123c4c91

    An episode from 5/18/26: Tonight I read about the bear in folklore and mythology from two books everybody should have on their shelves: the Taschen Book of Symbols and the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols. Browsing through either puts you in contact with our best stories and, with the Taschen book, some of our best artwork.

    Next, I read Lord Byron’s (1788-1824) apocalyptic poem Darkness from 1816. You can read more about the volcanic eruption that inspired poem, and produced the “year without summer,” here.

    Finally, I read a few passages on revelation and the religious experience from the rabbi, theologian and civil rights activist Abraham Joshua Heshel’s (1907-1962) God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism.

    The best way to support the podcast is by leaving a review on Apple or Spotify, sharing it with others, or sending me a note on what you think. You can also order any of my books: Time and the River: From Columbine to the Invention of Fire, Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone. I’ve also edited a handful of books in the S4N Pocket Poems series. I also have a YouTube channel where I share poems and excerpts from these books, mostly as YouTube shorts.
