... the Big Ugly Bill is enacted with the following provision, now hidden in the bill:

“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….”

Translated: No federal court may enforce a contempt citation.

More specifically, to hurt and kill those they judge to be weak.

Greenland is not a full member of the EU, since a referendum in 1985. But it's a territory of Denmark, which is a member, and citizens of Greenland are citizens of the EU. It seems complicated:

Under Biden the USA wasn't just letting the genocide happen. It was providing the weaponry to enable it. Harris didn't distance herself from any of Biden's policies, so both candidates were active supporters of the genocide. That's not to say they were equally bad. The USA would still have been better off without gloves-off fascism at home and alienating all its allies through aggressive, nonsensical and incompetent foreign and economic policy.

Just to be clear, this "white genocide" in South Africa is entirely fictitious. It's not even an exaggeration of some small trend. The rate at which white people are killed in South Africa is no higher than for other population groups.

And yet, on the basis of this racist fiction, Trump's regime is giving "asylum" to white South Africans.

Just fly him to a remote island and leave him there. Maybe the one with the penguins who pay tariffs.

I suspect Trudeau winning the handshake-wrestle is one reason Trump wants to crush Canada now.

There have been killings of white South Africans, but police statistics show they are not killed at a higher rate than other South Africans.

So either Trump's fascists are knowingly lying, or they're completely ignorant and didn't bother to check facts because they don't care about facts. Or they're incapable of noticing when bad things happen to non-white people because they don't care about those people.

Netanyahu sets finishing the genocide as condition to end genocide.

Given how basic and severe the security failings were in TeleMessage, I'm not sure this can really be called stealing.

Not military but with military weaponry. And do the states have to pay for this?

On April 29, after Amazon reportedly considered displaying an additional tariff charge next to the listed price on its Haul platform, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a press briefing held up a photo of Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos and called the move a “hostile and political act.” Trump, whom a senior official described as “pissed,” called Bezos to complain, saying the company’s founder “solved the problem very quickly.”

Amazon said that although it was considering displaying the tariff cost, the plan was ultimately not approved and “not going to happen.”
