The #Republican chairman of the #Oversight Committee refused an offer to interview the former president under oath, rejecting terms he claimed were unreasonable.
The more time ticks on, the more apparent it will be that the future will consist entirely of two groups, people who are ok with what the government wants to do to them, and those who are not.
The polarity between these groups is going to be so extreme, todays police brutality will be an every day occurence. You will either accept and suffer, or resist and suffer under boot. The violence experienced by those who refuse to take things lying down will be seen by many as a semblance of being free in a time where the natural world is dead, and being free can only mean resisting.
The corporate world I belong to is much the same, but people are supposedly free to choose their own careers.
If neoliberalism goes too far, you'll eventually find yourself being told out of the blue, "If you don't like this country's policies, then get out! You have the freedom to choose your nationality (probably), after all."
@kotaro I expect it to be more akin to Shamima Beghams case. She was stripped of citizenship and unable to settle anywhere else, to this day, as far as I am aware, she lives in a refugee camp in Turkey.
In the case of being stateless at home, you would be free to exist, unable to work, unable to have a bank account, unable to claim a passport or prove your identity or buy property. Essentially you'd be able to exist on paper, but have none of the tools to do so.
He got his wealth back, though not as much as before, by bowing his head to Xi Jinping and making up with him. And he seems pretty happy about it, too.
Compared to before, I'm not living in what I would consider a world of freedom. I've made many compromises. However, I'm now having many meaningful experiences, and no longer struggle with money, so I'm definitely happier than I was.

Prominent Intel Linux engineer H. Peter Anvin has posted a new patch series working to clean-up the Linux x86/x86_64 kernel boot code. Besides cleaning up the code, the kernel configuration would drop options around EFI stub mode and relocatable kernels in making those features now always enabled... phoronix.com/news/Linux-x86-Bo…
"Trump has put 1,500 U.S. military troops on standby for possible deployment to Minnesota under the Insurrection Act".
“The federal government is not above the law.... The administration’s violent crackdown in Minnesota marks a reversal of how federal force was used during the civil rights movement to protect peaceful protest."
Federal agents carrying out the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration actions in Minnesota have been widely accused of using excessive force, arresting U.S. citizens, denying people access to legal counsel and other violations.

Danial Bamdadi ist Gewerkschafter, politisch aktiv seit seiner Jugend, ein Linker. Nun verweigert ihm das Ausländeramt Rems-Murr-Kreis die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft und unterstellt ihm Extremismus.
Dem Metaller Danial Bamdadi wird die Staatsbürgerschaft verweigert, weil er Kontakt zu Antifas hat. Er arbeitet im "Verein zur Bewahrung der Demokratie".
Wobei sie damit natürlich nicht falsch lägen, denn es ist mir schlicht scheißegal, daß ich aufgrund eines bedeutungslosen Zufalls deutsch bin und nicht sonst irgendwas, und ich sehe mich zuallererst als einer von acht Milliarden aufrechtgehenden Nacktaffen auf einem industriell verwüsteten Planeten, der sich bald in die reine Hölle verwandeln wird, wenn wir weiter in Nationen und Grenzen denken, statt endlich kooperativ und solidarisch als eine Menschheit auf einem Planeten zu retten, was noch zu retten ist, bevor die Achterbahn richtig losgeht. Und die Achterbahn _wird_ bald richtig losgehen, egal was wir tun, dazu reichen die bislang bereits akkumulierten ökologischen Schäden mehr als aus.
N´êtes-vous pas surpris que la plupart des americains n´ont pas remarqué que Trump est un énorme mythomane doublé d´un gros pervers narcissique ? Trump n’est pas un accident, mais le symptôme d’un système qui a trop longtemps ignoré sa base
Vous vous interrogez sur l’élection de Trump, comme si c’était une aberration, un bug dans la matrice démocratique ? Détrompez-vous. Ce n’est pas un accident, c’est une réponse. Une réponse brutale, cynique, désespérée, à des décennies de promesses non tenues, de délocalisations massives, d’élites politiques et économiques qui ont préféré les discours lénifiants aux actes concrets. Les électeurs de Trump ne sont pas des naïfs. Ce sont des laissés-pour-compte qui, faute de mieux, ont choisi de voter pour un pyromane plutôt que de continuer à subir les incendies en silence.
Trump incarne ce que le système a produit de pire : un mélange de mépris assumé pour les institutions, de mensonges industriels, de racisme assumé et d’un narcissisme si décomplexé qu’il en devient presque rafraîchissant aux yeux de ceux qui en ont marre des hypocrisies polies. Il ne promet pas un monde meilleur. Il promet de tout casser. Et quand on vous a servi des miettes pendant quarante ans, voir quelqu’un balancer la table a quelque chose de cathartique.
L’Europe n’est pas vaccinée contre ses propres Trump
Ne vous y trompez pas : nous ne sommes pas à l’abri. En France, en Europe, les mêmes ingrédients sont dans la marmite. La défiance envers les élites, la colère des territoires abandonnés, la tentation du "grand nettoyage" par le chaos. Le RN, les extrêmes de tous bords, les populistes qui surfent sur la peur et la nostalgie d’un passé fantasmé… Tous jouent la même partition, avec des nuances locales. La différence ? Aux États-Unis, le système a déjà vomi son démon. Chez nous, il est encore en gestation.
La question n’est pas "Comment en est-on arrivé là ?", mais "Quand est-ce que notre tour arrivera ?", à moins que nous ne décidions, enfin, de traiter les causes plutôt que les symptômes. Car une chose est sûre : quand les gens n’ont plus rien à perdre, ils votent pour ceux qui promettent de tout faire sauter. Même si, au final, ce sont toujours les mêmes qui ramassent les décombres.
