China borrows from Africa?

The thing about due process is that it’s a process.

if by all appearances, it is Russian propaganda, Let’s just call them Russian propagandists.

The coordinated message amplification here on Lemmy is apparent.

There’s the targeted message of the month!

Or because they are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading

Buffet liquidated months ago. He’s been sitting on a pile of cash waiting for “value” (meaning a crash)

christ, another one?

“both sides!!!” is such a lame take. You don’t see any difference between the Democratic and Republican parties?

Who built the anti-corruption measures Trump is currently dismantling?

Unfortunately you don’t get things because you want them, you get things that actually exist.

No progressive/leftist party or candidate exists that can gain more than a couple of percent of the vote.

In that world, you choose the most progressive viable candidate.

to me, there are clear differences between the Republicans and the Democrats, and the choice is obvious. Both in values and action - they support labor, climate, diversity, education, access to health care, anticorruption, etc…

Weird how that account and the IndustryStandard account woke up at the same time deploying similar messaging.

Did a ban end?

Data analysts, medical researchers, astrophysicists - gone. You’ll work in a factory making plastic toys.

This reply looks like some “get discouraged and angry” bullshit right here. Of course repeating the targeted message of the month about Democrats. And a wild falsehood about the homeless rate in the US.

you can’t distinguish any differences in policy or values between republicans and democrats? Nothing that furthers labor, climate, consumer, or justice/equity goals?

if the executive and agencies that are tasked with enforcing “the law” (vs the executive’s instructions) ignore judicial rulings, it’s kind of a moot point. Republicans and right-wing media have spent 30 years rotting out the conceptual foundations of “ethics”, “integrity”, and “values” to the point that the only qualification for leadership positions is fealty to Trump. The people they are hiring reject principles or integrity, to achieve power.

Regardless, The historical norm is that judges who have a stake in a case recuse themselves, but we know the game has changed. It seems unlikely an EO would target a named individual, and it can’t direct the judiciary or create new law or crimes……

At some point, we may be down to the level of the guy executing the arrest warrant or holding the keys to the jail cell or cutting the power lines to the courthouse being cognizant and responsible to their oath before their orders.

If that seems hopeless - start communicating ideas about loyalty to founding principles, the constitution, the laws, and the people. Enforce traditional and shared values rather than arguing and causing people to entrench into factions. It’s time to act, get that shit out there rather than reposting news articles or battling trolls

That’s its uninitialized position, I believe

I always wonder about the people who describe calling out Russia’s dirty tricks and non-stop toxic behavior as “Russophobia”

You haven’t really thought through this have you
