477. How Trump’s Security Strategy Destroys The Old World Order - Alastair Campbell Has Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy officially upended 80 years of American foreign policy? Why does it warn of Europe’s “civilisational erasure” while downplaying threats from its traditional...

New @therestpolitics.bsky.social - deep dive on the seismic new USA national security strategy- quite something to see them on the same page as Russia on so many issues and openly campaigning for hard right parties in Europe

Just listened to this thoughtful analysis of US strategic madness. Time for Europe (and other sane democracies) to get their shit together.

60 Attorneys on the Year of Chaos Inside Trump’s Justice Department (Gift Article) Sixty former staffers describe an environment of suspicion and intimidation within the nation’s most powerful law enforcement agency.

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.

Something familiar is happening…

In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.

The Ecological Cost of AI Is Much Higher Than You Think - Truthdig As the demands of AI grow, each generation of microchips requires more energy, minerals and water to produce, driving a ruinous cycle.

"In an internal memo from September, CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI’s “audacious long-term goal is to build 250 gigawatts of capacity by 2033.” If Altman achieves this goal, OpenAI will need almost exactly as much electricity as India’s 1.5 billion people"

Great @truthdig.com piece on chips ->

Can Democrats Win Back the Rust Belt?

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

This is the best thing you'll see today, and I say that as a person who wrote something awesome today and does not lack for confidence.

“We can be free, and we can be fed.”

Yes, there were surprises lurking in the suburbs alright, especially for this commentator.

When RWNJs say #JacintaPrice "is the future of the Liberal Party" I actually agree with him them. The future Liberal Party will be a tiny fringe grouping of cookers, religious zealots, racists and the corrupt. She will probably lead it.

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

Excellent point. NewsCorpse, the Murdochracy threw everything at getting Dutton up again, and they failed completely. They no longer matter.

First Germany, then Canada, and now Australia. Antifascists are making a global comeback.

As has already been noted here tonight…..Murdoch’s rags and RW talk back radio like 2GB…….

Australians have told you to GET FUCKED!!!!!

Young Australians.

Hold your fucking heads high!!

All going well - as things stand Burnley champions and Albo back in style

It is to America’s eternal shame that this man is not the Vice President.

And yet they will vote for him and his motley crew. The preference deal with ON and the flow from minor right parties is a real threat in outer urban areas. Please don't let us have a 2019 repeat.

Name them and shame them.

Curtis Yarvin Fears His Authoritarian Fantasy Is Flopping Dark Enlightenment guru sees his desired revolution unraveling under the weight of its own stupidity

www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi...

“In early 2025, Yarvin is coming to terms with the towering mediocrity of his ideas. His complaints about the CEO-Dictator system prove exactly why it's inferior to American democracy. Despotism is a dog with no name. Once you let it go, you can't call it back.”

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

So the White House story is now:

“We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.”

The country is now run by thugs and idiots.
