  3. "Even as President Donald Trump’s hold over the electorate wanes, his administration’s naked authoritarian tendencies intensify. If you can tell a man’s mettle by how he behaves under pressure, Trump—mired in a ludicrous standoff of his own making with Iran and cratering in the polls—is putting on a display of raw narcissism and petty cruelty unparalleled among modern democracies."

  4. theguardian.com/politics/2026/. A man who came to the #UK as a child from #Malaysia makes a strange sort of "white liberal", doesn't he, @ChrisMayLA6? He is absolutely right to describe Shabana Mahmood's #asylum & #immigration #policies as #cruel - indeed, they are the very essence of #cruelty, & absolutely shameful.

  5. The Lovely War

    Donald Trump threatens Iran the way he once threatened a recalcitrant steak: same wounded, flinty, infant-king fury. A working homage to Martin Amis -- on the Epstein flights, the six-billion-dollar goon squad, the taunting of a proud civilisation, and a nine-year-old girl in Minab waiting for the water that is her birthright. The infant-king has other plans.

  6. Koala dies after allegedly being dragged behind vehicle down a street

    "A rope was tied around the animal's neck and the other end was looped around a vehicle's tow ball, before the animal was dragged along the road."

    "There was blood and fur along the road where it got dragged. It was gurgling blood and had deep abrasions over a lot of its body."

    "Volunteer vets were forced to euthanise the animal after it suffered injuries, including deep abrasions and a fractured jaw."

  7. This is #brilliant (from Democratic Socialists of America USA)

    “I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally #toxic and depraved he is.

    “I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.

    “If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy.

    “If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in #humiliation and #conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.

    “If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, #bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy.

    “If wh*** #grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If #warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If #empathy feels like weakness and #dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.

    “If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them.

    “That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.

    “It was never really about him. It was about the #Validation. The #absolution. The #permission. He didn’t invent the #resentment he amplified it. He didn’t create the #cruelty he #normalized it. He gave millions the #intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest #impulses echoed back at rally volume.”

  8. "In 2026, there’s every reason to think the Trump show will get even crazier. With all that extra handshaking [that Karoline Leavitt claims causes the bruises on his right hand], there’s no telling what could happen."

  9. "When a man with Trump’s personality feels caged in, when he feels besieged and abandoned and begins to lose control of events, he becomes more desperate and more dangerous."

  10. "His narcissism; his lack of conscience, remorse, or empathy; his pathological lying and grandiosity; his sense of entitlement, impulsivity, and aggression; his cruelty, predatory behavior, and sadism—these are the forces that drive him. If we don’t understand that, we understand almost nothing of importance about him. And beware:"

  11. In a statement entitled "Trump’s Inferno of Hate Is Intensifying," Peter Wehner warns,

    "When a man with the president’s personality feels besieged and abandoned, he becomes more desperate and more dangerous. ...

    Heraclitus taught that character is destiny. In Trump’s case, his sociopathy is destiny."

  12. "A video released in February by Middle East Eye showed footage of an elated Israeli soldier sharing a TikTok video of himself driving a bulldozer into that hospital, chuckling as his digger crushed a cinderblock wall. “The hospital accidentally broke,” he said. Evidence of Israel’s crimes was by then accumulating, much of it provided by the IDF itself."

  13. Eric Lee states it pretty clearly

    "If the U.S. gov't can go around the streets of this country, pick people up, throw them into the back of vans, drive them to detention centers 1000 miles away, that's it. That's the End of Democracy."

  16. Republican states sue to end federal program for undocumented migrants

    Opponents are suing to end a federal program that could potentially give nearly half a million migrants without legal status who are 🔸married to US citizens 🔸a path to citizenship.

    ♦️Sixteen Republican-led states 🆘filed suit on Friday to #halt the program launched by Joe Biden in June,
    saying in court filings that the Biden administration 🔹bypassed Congress to create a pathway to citizenship for 🔹“blatant political purposes”.

    Under the policy,
    👉which started taking applications on Monday, 👈many ❇️spouses without legal status can apply for something called “#parole #in #place”, ❇️offering permission to stay in the US,
    apply for a #green #card
    and eventually get on a path to #citizenship.

    But the program has been particularly contentious in an election year in which immigration is a leading issue,
    with many Republicans attacking the policy and labeling it #amnesty for people who broke the law.

    The ❌suit filed against the Department of Homeland Security, the DHS secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, and other Biden administration officials ❌accuses the agency of attempting to parole spouses “en masse”, which the states contend is an abuse of power.

    The bipartisan immigration and criminal justice organization #FWD.us noted the timing of the lawsuit
    -- which was filed on the night Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for president
    -- and said the program was in compliance with the law.

    “The only motivation behind this lawsuit is the #cruelty of tearing families apart and the #crass #politics of hoping a judge might do the bidding of the anti-immigrant movement,” the organization said in a statement.

    ⭐️To be eligible for the program, immigrants must have lived #continuously in the US for 🔸at least 10 years, 🔸not pose a security threat or have a disqualifying criminal history, and 🔸have been married to a citizen by 17 June.🔸

    They must 🔸pay a $580 fee to apply and 🔸fill out a lengthy application, including an explanation of why they #deserve #humanitarian #parole and a long list of supporting documents proving how long they have been in the country.

    They 🔸apply to the Department of Homeland Security, and if approved, have 🔸three years to seek permanent residency.

  17. When the #GreenClimateFund was being established, Australia's Prime Minister was #TonyAbbott, a #ClimateDenier, who had won the 2013 federal election promising to dismantle the baby steps towards a #ClimatePolicy the previous #Labor government had made.

    So there was little surprise when PM Abbott announced in Nov 2013 that #Australia would be contributing a massive sum of $0 to the Green Climate Fund.

    At the time, he claimed Australia would chip in AU$200m (then =USD$187m) over four years, but since this was merely a rebranding of existing #ForeignAid, it clearly didn't count as "new and additional funding", a fact that most journalists blithely ignored, falling for the bait-and-switch. Or we might say instead that the Australian government was overstating its foreign aid commitments by $200m over those years.

    Nonetheless, the four years were soon gone, as was Tony Abbott, as well as his successor #MalcolmTurnbull, who in turn had been replaced as PM by #ScottMorrison. When it came time to pledge again in 2018, Morrison announced Australia would be pulling out of the Green Climate Fund entirely, a path also taken by the #Trump administration at the time, whom Morrison was often cribbing notes from when it came to what kinds of #cruelty and #selfishness he could get away with.

  18. CW: re: #XCorp #value Trending down quarterly

    @cspam

    At this point going through my old posts and stuff the only conclusion I can come to is that this is just one large #TaxWriteOff for the world's richest man based on everything.

    The #karma though of the #LongTailOfLayoffs though that left 7k+ people without work though and over 1/2 or more who are stuck in #arbitration to get their fair severance is also, a poor look for the richest man, who on paper anyways per #Forbes's list.... but isn't compared to certain other RICHER THAN HIM type people NOT LISTED ON FORBES, I will add, and his management style of throwing 💰money 💰 around, because, perhaps his Pre-ex-Wife thought it was a good idea? Ugh.

    The #FreeWebHosting #culture of #cruelty continues to be debugable via the #DSM5 though where an explain is easy once mapped on #OligarchWatch types.
