I suppose I can serve you well with an extensive background on this news item but to be honest with you I'm not that interested, you're not that interested, and it's nothing but another nugget of endless dreary #Trump #MAGA bullshit
They had a fair or something for celebrations of 250 years of the #USA? No one showed up? I don't know, I don't care. Just incompetence and unpopularity
Just laugh at the endless circus of stupidity ("Freeedom?" 😆)

> mail in ballots are probably the only system still connecting elections to reality.
Not anymore. The agent Krasnov Executive Order 14399 mandates that postal service sorting machines must sieve out and scrap mail-in ballots coming to and fro democratic voters. The possibility of being democratic voter assesed eithe directly (voted in the DNC primaries) or by social media posts. Barcode with a voter identifier must be put on the outer envelope for this to be working at scale and speed. Operational updates in the USPS sorting centers started March 2026.

There's that saying "no honor among thieves"
With the rise of fascist shittery in the world we grow despondent. But notice a silver lining:
These assholes backstab and fail each other as much as they do the well-intentioned
An idiot in the White House doesn't work for #Russia as Russia had imagined
Certainly #Trump has damaged the West. But Russia's problem is it is so weak, the world doesn't need the #USA. In fact, all it needs is #Ukraine (and some #EU funds)
Me a few hours ago
In the #primaries
I had a choice between the corporatist #AIPAC #Democrat and the #leftist #candidate
I chose the leftist
*That's how you fix this*
Some voices whine cynical lies and impotent perfectionism, they don't vote, and what happens?
We get what we get in the #USA
If that describes you, you are just as much at fault as #MAGA is for our problems
> #Vote <
(If you can't vote, my words don't apply to you. If you choose not to vote, fuck you you stupid asshole)
We have more important problems than the #reflectingPool swamp in #WashingtonDC
But it's a lightning rod of attention because it's an #analogy, a reflection if you will, of the shitty state of the #USA
Orange narcissist pedophile god emperor claims people are vandalizing it. An immature lie to deflect from his shitty incompetence. So now, in the Land of the Free (tm), merely touching the pool gets you arrested
It hurts #Trump's fee fees. Aww. Can't be anything more important than that! (/s)
@pg1958
It seems fair to me that the people who ordered and implemented this rehabilitation should also be arrested in two years for vandalism and CORRUPTION.

"Flu outbreak among #AirForce recruits at Joint Base #SanAntonio after #Hegseth ends mandatory #flu #vaccine"
#Disease and troop readiness is not a new topic, it goes back to ancient times. Many wars counted disease as a bigger killer than conflict. These are lessons learned centuries ago, even #GeorgeWashington ordered mandatory inoculation of all troops against #smallpox
This is really simple basic stuff

Greenland National Day (Greenlandic: Ullortuneq; Danish: Grønlands nationaldag) falls on 21 June and is the day of Greenlandic national identity.
The day was introduced by the former Home Rule in 1985, and it was on this date that Greenland gained self-government in 2009.

#Platner said #Israel commits #genocide in #Gaza, opposes #AIPAC, and says end #USA #military ties with Israel. The #DNC doesn't like him
So those who hated on #Harris like him?
No, they hate on Platner
Why?
Because they don't really care about Gaza. They care about being entitled edgelords. Gaza was the old excuse, now they have a new #fake excuse to whine
They don't have #ideology. They have loser #psychology. Fake #leftist s
@katrinakatrinka @mastodonmigration
the same things happen in the #USA
#GOP: does something vile
idiots and mainpulators: "Why did the #Democrats do that?" or "Why are they too weak to resist that?" ... "I'm not voting"
well, your nonvote is what makes them weak, liars and "geniuses"
you're working for #MAGA. you're a manipulated patsy
and to fall for such simple misdirection of blame for morons is really embarrassing for you
i blame nonvoters
the #DNC comes out against #Mamdani in the #primaries, people #vote anyways
the #DNC comes out against Mamdani in the general, people vote anyways
that's how you do it
we can do that all across the #USA
who fucking cares about milquetoast dems
ah, but you do
because with that red herring, you can successfully suppress the vote and help the #GOP win by making it seem like nonvoters are virtuous
they are manipulated pieces of shit
@aral
correct
then the point for us is to construct effective destruction of #usa complicity in #genocide
which we do not achieve with #perfectionism
i'm not accusing you of that, i'm pointing out the larger effort at work here to goose perfectionist instincts, and suppress #leftist turnout, and ensure a #GOP win
allowing the genocide to go full steam ahead
#Platner has consistently campaigned on a platform of halting #US military funding to #Israel
@Limnobotanik @jackpearse
but they were white #immigrants
all the noise over #immigration in the #USA is a dog whistle for #racism
proof:
the USA has fast tracked *white* immigrants from #SouthAfrica while they spend so much time hating in immigrants otherwise

@katrinakatrinka @mastodonmigration
#Platner has consistently campaigned on a platform of halting #USA military funding to #Israel
So with #Harris, we forget #transphobia and #womensRights
We focus on the #genocide in #Gaza
Now with Platner we forget all about the genocide in Gaza
we focus on transphobia and women's rights
so people don't vote, GOP wins…
the genocide in Gaza gets greenlights, transphobia advances, and women's rights get curtailed

An Epitaph
#USA
When is a ceasefire for negotiations not a ceasefire?
When both the US & Iran continue exchanging attacks while claiming such exchanges are not violations of the ceasefire!
On one level perhaps this merely reflects the old Humpty Dumpty aphorism that words mean what we say they mean... but on another its one more sign that political/diplomatic discourse is at best unreliable as a guide to actuality, and at worst intended to be deceptive (or at least distracting).
For all its reputation as a country of rampant free market capitalism, the USA's corporate profitability may be in part (by some reckoning 50%) dependent on the deficit funding of the state;
which is to say that the US is actually a massive corporate welfare machine, pumping public money raised on international bond markets (through sales & holding of so-called T-bills across the world) into the private sector.
If so, US capitalism *does* look rather different!
#capitalism #USA

no disagreement only clarification:
#AOC/ #Mamdani are #DSA that ran as #democrats
the way forward is take over the #democraticParty, not 3rd party (or worse, not voting)
with #FPTP voting in the #USA a 3rd party vote only divides the left vote and #MAGA wins
( #parliamentary #FPTP like the #UK lends 3rd parties stability)
worse: no #vote because "dems suck." while true, that only keeps them sucking
show up in the #primaries and choose the AOC/ Mamdani #candidate

Timothy Snyder suggests (plausibly) the Tangerine Tyrant is bringing about the 'superpower suicide' of the US... entirely to enrich his friends & family.
In a sense we all have intuited this for some time, but Snyder joins the dots in a helpful way.
indeed, we might conclude the individualistic logic of the US has finally (as many would expect) bitten it in the arse courtesy of the corrupt family Trump.

From the abandonment of its alliances to the dismantling of its education system, Trump’s administration is tearing down the institutions that really made America great, writes the historianTimothy Snyder (The Nerve)
#Uganda is not a rich country
They do what they can do

In fact, you can probably say the current #outbreak was *caused* by #USA abandoning prudent international #PublicHealth
Long, but worth reading:👀
"Our current globalised #tech industry can only exist because of the protectionism and policy uniformity imposed by the #UnitedStates on its hegemony. That billions of people across dozens of countries work and interact on unified platforms whose laws and regulations are, for all practical purposes, basically that of the #US... is an artifact of US dominance."

"Developers talk not just about how the #AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the #job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience because they have to go through the output and fix its mistakes. More concerning, developers who use AI at work report that they feel like they are de-skilling themselves and losing their ability to do their #jobs as well as they used to."
