Potus pardoned nearly 1,600 convicted, awaiting trial or sentencing for offenses related to January 6 United States Capitol attack.
Now he’s building a $1.7 billion fund for his supporters aggrieved by government actions. That’s more than $1 million for each jan6er.
If joining a failed coup can net you a million taxpayer dollars a few years later, what will taxpayers pay for successful coup. Can we find out?

Achieving meaningful lives within planetary boundaries?
"Renewables are already much cheaper than fossil fuels. Alas, fossil fuels are up to three times as profitable. Thus capital forces governments to link electricity prices to the price of the most expensive liquified natural gas, not of cheap solar energy. Similarly, building and maintaining motorways is many times more lucrative for private contractors, car manufacturers and oil companies than a modern network of superfast, safe public railways. So capitalists continue to push our governments to subsidise fossil fuels and road building, even while the world burns."
"...Capital uses every tool at its disposal – debt, sanctions, coups and even outright military invasion to keep southern economies subordinate."

Pedro Castillo, expresidente de Perú, enfrenta juicio por fallido golpe, tras tres años de estar en la cárcel
En diciembre 2022, cuando se anunció que iba a ser inhabilitado por el Congreso, el presidente Castillo dio un mensaje a la nación en que anunciaba la destitución del Congreso y convocó a una Asamblea Constituyente, pero fue detenido y acusado de un intento de “autogol [...]

"There was no legitimate reason for the #FridayNightMassacre in the military. It was the slaughter of our integrity, our values, and our #security.
We’ve watched the #SupremeCourt cave to Trump. #Congress has folded, at least for now. The #press is still trying to appease Trump... We know that courage can be contagious. Now the question is, what will the #military do?"

I learned a new word today, which happens to be of Spanish origin. “Autogolpe”.
“A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power illegally through the actions of themselves or their supporters.[1] The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers. Other measures may include annulling the constitution, suspending civil courts, and having the head of government assume dictatorial powers.[2][3]”
I heard it on Jake Broe’s YouTube channel in the context of Trump firing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and the 3 Judge Advocate Generals (Army, Navy, Air Force).
This is being described as an autogolpe, a self-coup.
The list attached on wiki is of attempted self-coups… Trump/USA is in their twice. As for successful ones, the most prominent is Napoleon Bonaparte.

"I ask another how he’s doing—an admittedly dumb question, but what do you say?
“Oh you know, watching an #autogolpe from the inside,” he replies. “Feeling ten years of painstaking work to build up culture and credibility around #digitaltransformation in the #government get burned to the ground in less than three weeks.”
“Fearing for my job, fearing for my family's safety,” he says. “You know, the usual.”
That #anxiety is omnipresent."

What it's like to be a federal worker during the dark days of Elon Musk's DOGE campaign

carried out with no congressional #oversight and often in stark defiance of judicial orders. It’s been called a #coup, or an #autogolpe, a coup from inside, or American #authoritarianism"

From Violet Blue:
"The U.S. now faces a new global awareness about itself, where even if a different White House regime takes control in four years, America is a country just one election away from destabilizing again and becoming a high-risk intelligence threat. No nation with any interest in an independent, stable future will share intelligence information with the U.S. when they know it’s a matter of if — not when — that information will be shared, traded, stolen, stored on unsecured servers, sent via unencrypted channels, or leaked."

"As Trump’s marauding continues, America's last defense is the federal courts. But... the Trump-Vance-Musk regime is ignoring the #courts.
On Sunday, Vice President #JDVance declared that “judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”
This is bonkers. In our system of #government, it’s up to the courts to determine whether the president is using his power “legitimately,” not the president."

@ZhiZhu Very helpful to have words to concisely describe what is happening to us. Now we need to figure out how to stop it.

I learned a new word today:
"An autogolpe is literally a “self-coup” — when a legitimately elected leader uses his position to seize total control, eliminating legal and constitutional restraints on his power. Are Musk and Trump trying to pull off an autogolpe here? Of course they are. And they are doing so with, as far as I can tell, the full support of every Republican in the House and the Senate."

Indeed.
What Musk and Trump are doing is a coup. It's a specific kind of coup called an #Autogolpe

"We are in the middle of an attempted #autogolpe. It hasn’t succeeded so far. In fact, I’d say tentatively that the autogolpistas are having a harder time than they expected. America’s #oligarchs may mostly have preemptively surrendered to the new regime, but many of the rest of us have not."

What Was Elon Musk’s Team Really Up To At Treasury?
Is A Federal Judge Getting The Whole Story On Musk?

It is not at all clear that what #DOJ is telling the judge is accurate or complete...
bad information or nefariousness"

"For those writing or talking about what’s happening, it is important not to get distracted by Trump’s bright, shiny objects. No, #Trump isn’t going to take over #Gaza, annex #Canada, try to retake the #Panama Canal or seize #Greenland. But Trump’s bizarre announcements are a feature, not a bug: they distract from the ongoing #autogolpe.
...At this point, trade conflict is less important than the assault on #democracy."

Senator Has Dire Warning About Letting Elon Musk Run Wild:
Ron Wyden didn’t mince words about what Elon Musk and Donald Trump are up to.
https://newrepublic.com/post/191253/ron-wyden-donald-trump-elon-musk-coup“Trump and Musk are ignoring the checks and balances of our republic, and for all practical purposes I’d call that a coup...
They’ve set their sights on a full purge of anyone in govt that doesn’t bend the knee and follow their orders”

Why Did Musk Gizmocrats Rewrite the Payment System Code?

#Musk operatives at #Treasury... have full administrator privileges and, as I have reported, they’ve already altered the code."

Not sure how effective the protests going on at the US Treasury will be, but at least some dems are showing up. Love Jasmine Crockett.

@CliftonR
An #autogolpe, or self-coup, is a situation where a political leader, who has come to power legally, attempts to maintain power through #illegal means, such as dissolving the legislature or assuming extraordinary powers. This term is often used in the context of political actions taken by leaders in Spanish-speaking countries. -
No reason I'm posting this today, just thought it might come in handy.

Ahora sí que sí: la Asamblea Nacional de #CoreaDelSur🇰🇷 vota por 204 votos a favor y 85 en contra censurar al presidente Yoon Suk-jeol y pedir al Tribunal Supremo su procesamiento —que podría suponer su destitución definitiva y nuevas #elecciones🗳️. La oposición tiene 190 escaños, por lo que al menos 14 de esos votos a favor han venido de las bancas progubernamentales.

No sé la cultura coreana, pero en la mía “prometo no volver a intentar dar un #autogolpe de Estado” es una declaración de buenas intenciones que se acoge con comprensión y larguísimas condenas de cárcel
-
La oposición en #CoreaDelSur🇰🇷 presenta una moción de censura para echar al presidente Yoon Suk-jeol tras el frustrado #autogolpe. Para que salga adelante necesita una mayoría de dos tercios en la Asamblea: 200 de los 300 diputados. Para llegar a esa cifra hacen falta al menos ocho diputados del partido de Yoon, cuyo líder (que estaba en la lista de los que debían ser detenidos por los militares) ha pedido al presidente que dé explicaciones y cese al ministro de Defensa

Dimiten el jefe de Gabinete de Yoon y varios altos cargos de la presidencia de #CoreaDelSur🇰🇷 tras el fracaso del #autogolpe, mientras la principal confederación de sindicatos anuncia una #huelga general indefinida mientras no renuncie el jefe del Estado

Seis horas después, el Gobierno levanta la ley marcial. El fracaso del #autogolpe es patente.
