    Time Event
    2:57a
    Axis of Tyranny

    The corrupter often changes his stance dramatically from one day to the next. But he is consistent about his support for Putin.

    Either Putin is giving him crucial support for his efforts to take over the US, or have such dirt on him that he wouldn't risk disappointing Putin.

    But if the corrupter gets to suppress dissent in the US as he is aiming to, perhaps Putin's kompromat won't be effectively usable any more. Totally loyal trumpets just won't believe it.

    Mark Milley

    *Retired US army general [Mark Milley] fears unusual action of being recalled to uniform for retribution, [Bob Woodward] writes*

    General Milley tried to restrain the fascist from repressive actions.

    Other retired generals who were loyal to their country instead of the fascist are likewise in danger.

    I wonder where they can go to be safe. Most countries that are strongly hostile to the US are repressive themselves. A person who supports the freedom that the US stands for would not be comfortable in them.

    If the US becomes as repressive as its main adversaries, there will be little safety for dissidents anywhere.

    Nader on the election

    Ralph Nader suggests how the Democrats can win the election by miles — by defying the orders from business and doing things the non-rich want.

    I voted for Nader for president. I wish he were running now.

    Antidiscrimination laws

    A British court found that condemning Zionism is not antisemitic, and that it was culpable to fire a professor for such condemnation.

    Gaza at risk

    * [Palestinian lawyer] Raji Sourani says west is "jeopardising something precious" by shielding Israel from legal consequences.*

    That is a valid point. International humanitarian law reduces the world's barbarism, to the extent that it is followed. When countries such as the US enable their best friends to violate these laws, they debase the future conduct of countries in general.

    Labour’s investment summit

    Starmer Labour is buying in fully to trickle-down.

    2:57a
    Elon Musk unveils Cybercab

    Tesla's new driverless taxi

    has the essential injustices of Uber

    and Lyft,

    because it surely will be tracked everywhere,Like all Tesla cars, and won't allow people to pay cash anonymously.

    It will have one other drawback for society: little or none of the passenger's fare will go to provide support for workers without technical skills.

    We should prohibit driverless taxis, and prohibit cars from reporting or recording where they have been. In addition, we should require all taxis to accept payment in cash with no penalty.
