Narcissistic psychopaths such as Trump behave like heroes, but have no capacity for empathy.

No empathy, no conscience.

Some of us see them as saviours, others, as flawed but redeemable. Neither view is true.

A few of us see through them.

Not all psychopaths cause harm, but this lot have destroyed the very conditions that enabled human flourishing in the first place.

Unless we teach our children to see through them, this could all happen again.

Analysis: The US has yet to confront its history of ethnic cleansing of Native Americans.

So its callous indifference to the plight of Palestinians is not surprising: land theft, violent removal from ancestral land, ethnic cleansing, military occupation, forced confinement on reservations, etc.

The genocide of indigenous North Americans took 200 years.

Israel’s genocide of Palestinians is 78 years & counting,

Analysis: "Dark Shadows of Fascism Over Germany and the U.S."

"Nothing is more dishonorable for a civilized people than to let itself be ‘governed’ without resistance by an irresponsible clique of rulers devoted to dark instincts.”

"These words open the first communiqué of the White Rose, a collective of young Germans in Munich, including brother & sister Hans & Sophie Scholl, clandestinely opposing the Nazis."

Peace must not mean surrendering #Ukraine, #Macron says beside #RussianAsset #Trump, who declined to call Putin a "dictator" after using the term to describe #Zelenskyy, & said he planned to meet with #Putin.

"I don't know when we'll speak," Trump said. "At some point I'll be meeting with Putin."

Macron did interrupt Trump to correct his lies that EU aid to Ukraine was all in the form of loans. "No, to be frank, we paid. We paid 60% of the total effort” #USPol #auspol

For many of our members, the overturning of Roe v Wade was the crossing of the Rubicon. For others it was January 6th, and for still others it was NSC-131's attacks on the public library in Fall River, MA.

For anyone who decides *today* that your personal Rubicon has been crossed, the fight is already underway and all you need to do is find your position and get started. To do that, you need to do two things:

1. Admit to yourself that the situation is real and you are committed to fight against it in whatever way you can.

2. Pick one group, any group that is doing antifascist work, show up, and find something you can do to help.

federate.socialJonathan Kamens (@jik@federate.social)A colleague shared this video with my privately and suggested I might wish to share it out further. Indeed I do. If you have any doubt about how bad things are in the U.S. or about how close to the precipice we are, please watch this video. The time for "just wait and see" is over. At this point you are either part of the resistance or OK with fascism. Not choosing is not an option. #politics #USPol #DOGE #coup #resist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YFdwfNh5vs

Monday afternoon in Des Moines.

Approximately 100 federal employees gathered on the steps of the Iowa Capitol building to protest Musk’s DOGE insanity.
