I don't know what that looks like, exactly, except that the same things are always true-- relationships are the core unite of changemaking, as @zteutsch.bsky.social puts it. grassroots organizing is always the way. We gotta build coalitions, build movements, build things that grow and last.

THE GOOD TROUBLE CHECKLIST

CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced Wednesday that a new CIA report reveals former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.

When Microsoft locked an ICC prosecutor out of their email, it proved just how easily U.S. power can reach across borders and into the heart of global justice, writes Paul Budde.

THE RECENT INCIDENT involving Microsoft and the International Criminal Court (ICC) should send a chill down the spine of every democratic nation.
Following a sanctions order from White House, Microsoft locked ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan out of his enterprise-level Office 365 account.
That account wasn’t personal — it was part of the ICC’s institutional infrastructure.

And just like that, an American tech giant disabled access to a key international legal actor.

...

What’s worse is the normalisation of it all. We scroll past headlines like “Microsoft cuts #ICC access” and carry on with our day. The sociologist Alexei Yurchak coined a term for this: hypernormalisation — the idea that everyone knows the system is broken, but we all pretend things are normal because no one can imagine how to change them..."

July 2, 1863, was Day 2 of the Battle of Gettysburg. The day saw 150,000 troops locked in combat across a four-mile front. From Little Round Top to Culp’s Hill, the clashes on day 2 of the battle—Devil’s Den, the Wheatfield, Peach Orchard, and Cemetery Hill—saw over 20,000 casualties. Lee’s Confederates sought to break Meade’s fishhook line, while the Union fought to hold the high ground, pushing both armies to the brink.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

At dawn on July 2, 1863, Meade’s 90,000-strong Union Army fortified Cemetery Hill, Culp’s Hill, and Cemetery Ridge, forming a defensive fishhook. Reinforced by II, V, and XII Corps, Meade prepared to repel Lee’s next strike. Across the field, Lee’s 70,000 Confederates held Seminary Ridge and Gettysburg, with Longstreet’s and Hill’s corps west, Ewell’s north. Lee planned a double assault: Longstreet to hit the Union left, Ewell the right, aiming to collapse Meade’s line.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Delays in Confederate positioning, especially Longstreet’s march, postponed attacks until afternoon, setting up a ferocious clash. Around 4:00 PM, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet’s First Corps launched Lee’s main attack on the Union left. Hood’s division, over 7,000 men, targeted III Corps under Maj. Gen. Daniel Sickles, who had advanced to a vulnerable salient at the Peach Orchard, leaving Devil’s Den exposed.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Hood’s brigades—Law’s Alabamians and Robertson’s Texans—stormed Devil’s Den, clashing with Birney’s division in a brutal fight among massive boulders. Artillery roared, while sharpshooters picked off officers. The Confederate push aimed to outflank the Union line, threatening Little Round Top and the entire Union position. By 4:30 PM, the Wheatfield, a 20-acre clearing south of the Peach Orchard, became a slaughterhouse.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Hood’s and McLaws’ Confederate brigades, including Anderson’s and Semmes’, collided with Union III Corps’ reinforcements, like de Trobriand’s brigade. Around 5:00 PM, Barnes’ V Corps division and Caldwell’s II Corps division joined the fight, turning the field into a seesaw of charges and countercharges. Regiments like the 17th Maine and 1st Minnesota fought ferociously, but Confederate pressure surged.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

By 6:30 PM, after six major assaults, the Confederates held the blood-soaked Wheatfield.

At the peach orchard along the Emmitsburg Road, McLaws’ Confederate division targeted Sickles’ III Corps. Barksdale’s Mississippians and Kershaw’s South Carolinians charged, shattering Graham’s brigade with rifle volleys and cannon fire. By 6:00 PM, Hill’s corps, including Anderson’s division, joined, overwhelming Humphreys’ Union line.

in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Sickles’ corps crumbled, with Sickles wounded and his men retreating toward Cemetery Ridge. The collapse exposed the Union center, but Confederate momentum slowed, unable to exploit the breach fully as dusk approached.

As Devil’s Den fell, Hood’s Confederates eyed Little Round Top, which was key to the Union left. Col. Strong Vincent’s brigade, including Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain’s 20th Maine, raced to hold the hill.

in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Law’s Alabamians and Robertson’s Texans were met with fierce fire from the Union forces as they charged repeatedly. The 20th Maine, at the line’s end, repelled assaults, with Chamberlain’s bayonet charge breaking the Confederate push. Reinforced by Weed’s brigade, the Union held Little Round Top by dusk, saving Meade’s flank but losing Vincent and in their desperate stand.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

As evening arrived, Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell’s Second Corps struck the Union right. Johnson’s division attacked Culp’s Hill, clashing with XII Corps under Greene. The entrenched Union troops repelled Confederate charges. Simultaneously, Early’s brigades, Hays’ and Avery’s, hit Cemetery Hill, briefly seizing XI Corps’ guns. Hancock’s II Corps counterattacked, driving the Confederates back by 9:00 PM. The Union right held firm, thwarting Lee’s plan to collapse Meade’s line.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

The day saw over 20,000 casualties—roughly 10,000 per side. Union resilience, from Chamberlain’s stand to Greene’s defense, preserved Meade’s line. Lee’s near-successes emboldened him, while Meade’s army, battered but intact, braced for another Confederate onslaught the next day. July 2, was Gettysburg’s bloodiest day, with savage fighting in the Wheatfield, Devil’s Den, Peach Orchard, Little Round Top, and Culp’s Hill.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Lee’s plan to crush Meade’s flanks failed against heroic stands by the Union forces, though the Confederates came agonizingly close to victory. Both armies suffered crippling losses, yet neither yielded. As night fell, Meade fortified his fishhook, anticipating Lee’s next move. Lee, believing the Union center vulnerable, planned a massive assault for July 3 as the war’s turning point loomed, setting up Gettysburg’s final day.

No we aren't subtle about what we want to do. We want illegal aliens to be deported.

If troops invade our borders, we shoot them.

If invaders are not wearing the uniform of their country, they can be considered spies and shot on sight.

Instead, we stupid Americans, give these illegals the same sorts of due process a citizen would have before deporting them

Would you have made the same stupid statement about Alcatraz?

Victor Davis Hanson:
The Trump Deranged “Experts” Were Wrong. Again.

President Donald Trump’s track record flies in the face of conventional wisdom from so-called “experts”— but they will be the last to admit it.

Since his second inauguration, the “experts” have been relentless in their mission to minimize the Trump administration’s efforts with the economy, immigration, Iran, and beyond.

Meanwhile, the stock market has soared. There were ZERO illegal border crossings in May, according to CBP. Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was left severely damaged without the threat of war on the horizon. All this, thanks to the decisive and, at times controversial, actions taken by the Trump administration.

Despite these verifiable results,
@VDHanson
argues that much of the elite resistance to Trump stems not from data, but from disdain. And that bias has blinded them to basic common sense. He breaks it down on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“Donald Trump is pretty commonsensical. If you take a million people away that were working in the shadows at cheaper wages and hurting American job opportunities and you make countries that had asymmetrical tariffs and were responsible for a $1.1 trillion trade deficit and you can stop that and they still want entry into the American market, then you can have an economic renaissance.

“You should try to shed your Trump Derangement Syndrome because it's really affecting your powers of judgment and analysis. And you're going to lose readers. You are so wedded to the idea that Donald Trump is going to destroy the United States because of your personal animus, you cannot see that most people have commonsense solutions.”

I am very pleased to announce the nomination of Eric Tung to serve as Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Eric worked for two of our Country’s Greatest Supreme Court Justices, Antonin Scalia and Neil Gorsuch, before working at the Department of Justice, and serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California. Eric is a Tough Patriot, who will uphold the Rule of Law in the most RADICAL, Leftist States like California, Oregon, and Washington. It is critical now, more than ever before, that we have LAW AND ORDER. Good luck and congratulations Eric!

It is my Great Honor to nominate Joshua D. Dunlap, of the Great State of Maine, to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Joshua is a seasoned litigator, with a TON of excellent experience, appearing before the First Circuit, and all levels of the Federal and State Judiciary. He is a Partner at Pierce Atwood LLP in Portland, Maine, and earned his J.D. from Notre Dame. We need more TOUGH and SMART Judges on the Federal Bench, who fearlessly defend our Constitution, and Joshua will do just do that. Congratulations Joshua!

Die miese Qualität unserer Bahn ist keine NATURkatastrophe. Es ist eine politische.


Auf dem Weg nach Düsseldorf, wo ich morgen früh live im ZDF bei „Volle Kanne“ sein werde (schaltet mal rein und postet, wie ihr es fandet!) sitze ich auf dem Boden. Keine Klimaanlage im Bordbistro, ein komplett überlasteter ICE, der ungeplant viele Fahrgäste aus anderen Zügen aufnehmen musste.

DANKE an alle, die den Laden heute am Laufen halten. Trotz Hitze. Trotz Ausfällen. Trotz politischer Vernachlässigung.

An Tagen wie heute wird wieder sichtbar, wer unsere Mobilität wirklich trägt:
Die Menschen bei der Bahn – in den Zügen, an den Bahnsteigen, in Servicecentern, Leitstellen, Werkstätten und Fahrgastinformationssystemen.

Bei Temperaturen deutlich über 30 Grad, unermüdlich im Einsatz, dabei oft beschimpft und sogar bedroht.
IHR seid das Rückgrat der Verkehrswende.
Mein Dank, Respekt und Mitgefühl gehört immer und erst recht heute euch!

Viele Verbindungen fallen heute aus. Klimaanlagen versagen. Die Infrastruktur ist durch das Extremwetter komplett überlastet.

Das ist nicht eure Schuld, sondern das Resultat jahrzehntelanger politischer Entscheidungen.
Der aktuelle Zustand ist kein Zufall – er wurde gemacht.

  • Jahrzehntelange Unterfinanzierung der Schiene
  • Priorisierung von Autobahnbau und fossilem Individualverkehr
  • Fehlende Redundanzen und Kapazitäten

Und jetzt: immer häufigere Extremwetterlagen, die das System ans absolute Limit bringen
Das ist keine NATURkatastrophe. Es ist eine politische.

Was es braucht, ist nicht noch mehr Geduld von Mitarbeitenden und Reisenden zu fordern – sondern Druck auf die Politik.
Der Bundeshaushalt gibt jedes Jahr zig Milliarden für fossile Subventionen aus – vom Dienstwagenprivileg bis zur Entfernungspauschale.
Geld ist da. Was fehlt, ist der Wille.

Und hier kommt ihr ins Spiel:
– Schreibt eure Abgeordneten an.
– Fragt, was im Bundesverkehrsministerium wirklich Priorität hat.
– Macht Druck – von unten. Denn von oben bewegt sich zu wenig.

Wir brauchen:

  • mehr Personal, besser bezahlt und besser geschützt
  • mehr Züge, mehr Redundanz, mehr Resilienz
  • und vor allem: eine Verkehrspolitik, die aufhört, das Auto zu vergöttern, während Menschen in überhitzten Zügen arbeiten und reisen

ch stehe an der Seite derer, die heute trotzdem da sind – und trotz allem versuchen, die Mobilität der Vielen zu ermöglichen.
Und kommt mir jetzt mit keinem ABER, das hatten wir Jahrzehnte lang.
Es braucht jetzt endlich das DAFÜR!
Für freie Wahl der Mobilität, sichere Reisen egal womit und einen Respekt, den alle verdient haben, wie auch immer sie unterwegs sein wollen.

Spanish MEP wants ban on Israeli military companies accessing EU funds over Gaza


A Spanish member of the European Parliament said Wednesday he wants the European Commission to ban Israeli military companies from accessing EU funds, citing their potential use in the war in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.

Nacho Sanchez Amor, a socialist MEP and member of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights, said the EU must avoid “double standards” in addressing human rights violations.

“The EU cannot fall under double standards when it comes to HumanRightsViolations & it cannot be accessory to Netanyahu genocidal actions,” Amor wrote on X, referencing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has pursued a war of genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza since late 2023.

It's been in the news lately that a young active member of the Nazi brutality-clubs "Active Club" is "linked to a member of the government" of Sweden, according to major news-media reporting.
Some "experts" and colleagues dismissed it with phrases like "well, what can you do, we're all linked to so many people", buuut...
...turns out "linked to" may have a bit deceptively vague phrasing, as the person (Gustaf Forssell) is Minister for (actually against) Migration Johan Forssell's... son,
also acting as a recruiter for the Fascist youth-group DFSU,
reports AFA (antifa) Stockholm in the latest of their consistently reliable releases.

Well, if you know the politics of that minister, you're probably not shocked. My response at learning which minister it was, was literally "ooooh, THAT makes sense".

This morning the Nazi-campaigner's dad Minister for Migration (and for "Integration") of Sweden went on TV, after a week of stonewalling the revelation of the son's Nazi-activism.
The minister stated that "I wish I wasn't in this situation".

The minister previously strongly promoted refugee-families should be deported if a child "misbehaves", but now said "Parental responsibility doesn't mean it always goes right. Sometimes it goes wrong. […] It is about TRYING to succeed.", which is certainly extremely different now that it's Nazi and own parental responsibility failure.

The minister also used the child as a shield to claim "to protect a minor" was the reason for refusing to take responsibility in the press until now, which is pure bullshit. If the minister had proactively taken responsibility instead of actively ducking, then they could have kept focus on the failed dad, preventing widening of topic.

The minister claims to have "had no idea at all" of the >1 year Nazi-activities, although some was in public through the son's public social media account, which the minister follows.

Instead of taking responsibility the minister exploited this personal failure to implicitly promote banning teens from social media, which would devastate their development for an adulthood with social media.

Public Service radio of Sweden: sverigesradio.se/artikel/migra…

Furthermore, the State Security (SÄPO) spy agency elsewhere assures the public that they do have their own information gathering,
related to that the anti-fascist magazine Expo was the first to inform the failed parenting responsibility Migration Minister, just before SÄPO did (while AFA/antifa has had the person's Nazi-campaigning activities under silent surveillance for a long time).
Oookay... I didn't think that spy agency (or any) was without "own information gathering". Now... I'm confused and uncertain? Whut?

in reply to b9AcE

"Sweden’s migration minister ‘shocked’ by teenage son’s far-right activism" (you CAN write "Nazi" for Nazi-group member) article theguardian.com/world/2025/jul… has several flaws, incl such a foundational one as labeling the minister's party "centre-right", while it has never been anything close to "center".
The party's actual history involves mergers of parties like the 1888 "Protectionist Party" from which it became 1910 "United Right Party", then 1912 "National Party" until 1935 becoming the "The Right" party (as in "right-wing", not "justice"... different words in Swedish), until renaming to the "Moderate Party" in 1969 for PR of the times while not making their politics "moderate" but remaining the most right-wing party in parliament until the "Christian Democrat" (disputed claims) party got in 1985 so both competed for most right-wing in parliament, until as late as 2010 when Waffen-SS frontline-volunteers co-founded "Sweden Democrat" party took farthest right-mantle but both of the previous farthest-right parties in parliament keep adopting recent policies of the more recent more hate-based contender, without which they can't govern, thus dragging everyone down doom-pit of far-right authoritarianism.
Just because a party puts a PR-claim in their name does not make it true. Politicians lie.
