Via Mehdi Hassan:
If you want to understand the failure of U.S. journalism, especially the complete inadequacy of political interviews in this country, in a single short clip, here it is:
RADDATZ: What the heck did #Trump mean in saying his supporters won't have to vote again in four years?
CHRIS SUNUNU: Haha. I think that was a classic Trumpism, if you will.
RADDATZ: Ok. Let's turn to President Biden and Kamala Harris.
Why does the American establishment seem to be content with suggesting kingship for #trump? Why stop their submission at that point?
Why don't they go for Trump, the god? Building a few temples, worshipping, sacrificing and so on. I'm sure Mr Trump wouldn't mind.
WATCH: When Angela Sequera learned that her son had been transferred from an El Paso immigration facility to Guantanamo, she panicked. Her son wasn’t a terrorist.
“It hit me like a bucket of cold water.”
Trump Has Promised to Build More Ships. He May Deport the Workers Who Help Make Them.
—
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to increase the pace of U.S. military shipbuilding. But his pledge to also clamp down on immigration could make it hard for shipyards already facing workforce shortages.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Of Tech Bros And Trumpers
The reason so many Silicon Valley billionaires suddenly decided to back #DonaldTrump is not the mystery the media is making it out to be.
tl;dr The billionaires backing #Trump are crypto bros and they want to continue profiting from committing various kinds of crimes.
This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how some of these bros profit by investing in companies like #Uniswap that create excellent tools for #NorthKorea to launder stolen money with a passing explanation of how #Coinbase facilitates the overall system.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Trump's Transition Team Is Tethered To Thievery (And Worse)
How is it that money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?
This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether. Together they've created an offshore legal fiction by which neither bears any responsibility if that money ends up in the hands of sanctioned countries like #Iran or #NorthKorea or international criminal organizations like #PigButchering frauds and weapons markets.
Which is exactly where it ends up pretty much constantly.
For bonus points $40 billion of those dollars came from Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX.

"...let’s talk about #LizCheney. Her disdain for #Trumpism is sincere – but so is her opposition to realizing the ideal of egalitarian democracy"
Going to take a wild-ass-guess here, and yes, I had already read your entire thread up to this article
There is one and only one Job One in the United States of America right now and that is to permanently stop #DonaldTrump
Period. Full stop. Permanently (politically, of course. heh heh)
So all this political purity-of-ideological-bloodline as to either of the #Cheneys right now is cloying and off-putting
Let's deal with purity of political thought after #Trump is eliminated
Also see: any port in a storm, and the (even momentary) enemy of my enemy will be an ally at least until the critical problem is solved
Let's pontificate about political nuance in February
If we're all still alive, of course

My first podcast! Okay, the primary brain behind this is actually my old friend and occasional partner in crime Ratha Lai of Critical Impact Consulting. In the first episode of "Spin Doctors" we look at #debate preparation and strategy through the lens of the recent #Harris-#Trump cataclysm.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

I've shared this article yesterday, but I want to highlight this part:
'Meta has more than 3 billion users globally. In a wide-ranging statement, Zuckerberg said Meta would also “get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse” and “work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more”.
He cited Europe as a place with “an ever increasing number of laws institutionalising censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative”'
This is an explicit threat to the #EuropeanUnion . Zuckerberg has fallen in line behind #ElonMusk and the incoming #Trump administration in order to promote #fascism around the world to a degree we haven't seen before. If you think that the situation is already bad - and it is - then you will nevertheless see that it _will_ get much worse.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company Is Tunneling Beneath Las Vegas With Little Oversight
—
Given Musk’s role advising President-elect Donald Trump on ways to slash regulations and #government oversight, Boring and the Vegas Loop project might be a harbinger for the country.

gotta reward the foreign oligarchs for stealing money from their people so #Trump, #Musk, #Russia, the #GCC, and the other funders can rob us.

Time to start pondering what kind of lunacy that #BigHands will launch at his upcoming sparsely-attended (again) #inauguration...
What kind of major announcements (specific or vague) do you expect?
1. EU, China, Canada, Mexico tariff implementation timeline
2. Something about mass deportation and concentration camps
3. Several shots at Claudia Sheinbaum
4. Etc.
What else?
I'm really disappointed that @protonprivacy CEO, Andy Yen, is a Trump supporter.
Proton has created some of my favorite privacy-protecting apps & services, and I regularly recommend their products to people, but I'm hesitant to send money in their direction now, as I'm not sure what it'll go to support.
Trump has made it clear that he gives zero fucks about the safety of BIPoC people, women, LGBTQIA rights, and trans folx in particular. And every dollar that gets contributed to that fascist dictator is a dollar that might be earmarked for my eradication.
---
Taken together, the following sources convince me that I'm correct in believing Andy Yen is pro-Trump:
- https://proton.me/blog/trump-control-nsa-privacy
- https://x.com/andyyen/status/1864436449942110660
- https://x.com/andyyen/status/1812442643726537182
---
That said, I don't think there's a reason to flee Proton just yet. Let's see if there's a response to this from @protonprivacy.
Also, as pointed out, Proton has built their products and policies to be resistant to shit like bad politicians or CEO that supports them. And while I don't think "neutrality" is a defensible stance when faced with a genocide-happy dictator, I think the risk to the Proton Foundation and Proton's products isn't critical at present.

The Second Trump White House Could Drastically Reshape Infectious Disease Research. Here’s What’s at Stake.

Donald Trump’s pick to lead the federal health agency has vowed to replace hundreds of staffers and shift research away from infectious diseases and vaccines. Such an overhaul could imperil the development of life-saving treatments, experts warn.

One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, internal memos estimated.
The USAID programs were cut anyway.
