Trump kündigt Telefonat mit Putin zu Ukraine-Krieg an
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat angekündigt, am Dienstag mit Russlands Staatschef Putin telefonieren zu wollen. Das Ziel: das Ende des Krieges gegen die Ukraine. Die EU bezweifelt Putins Friedenswillen und will die Ukraine-Hilfe ausweiten.
Report: Three Cornell University scholars have filed a lawsuit seeking a nationwide injunction to block Trump orders to deport or jail advocates for Palestinian rights.
“We’ve been here before", said one, "McCarthyism to Civil Rights to Vietnam, times when this country has deviated from its stated commitments to free speech.
"This is another generational moment, another hour of reckoning. Why is there a Palestine exception?"
Marktbericht: Erholungsrally im DAX vor dem Aus?
Die Lage am deutschen Aktienmarkt bleibt fragil. Der DAX tut sich zu Beginn der neuen Börsenwoche schwer, an seine jüngste Erholungsbewegung anzuknüpfen.
Protesters against Elon Musk, Trump, and Project 2025 show up at Heritage Foundation
The 16th of March was the third day in a row of substantial protests in DC. This time around, Heritage Foundation was targetted.
Though things are getting nasty very fast, at the moment open protest is continuing and this is an excellent example of it
@Nonilex Uggghh, #Trump's statements there remind me of Hades from #HadesTown...which was written way back in 2006.
#TradeWar Retaliation Will Hit #Trump Voters Hardest
As Trump imposes #tariffs on products from countries around the world, foreign govts are answering back w/tariffs of their own.
#China has targeted corn farmers & carmakers. #Canada has put tariffs on poultry plants & A/C manufacturers, while #Europe will hit American steel mills & slaughter houses.

@augieray Just another stupid #maga doing the usual that MAGA do... being brainless and mean. They all want #trump to fuck foreigners, disabled, black, poor, this or that... Most don't seem to think their loved ones ARE part of that category they hate and they may be caught in this mess.
Maybe this stupid guy now will have to live her country to learn his lesson. I have no empathy for him.
Interview: Trump’s policies are about "getting rid of institutions where our obligations to one another are worked out."
Musk summed it up as empathy being "the bane of Western civilization." And really, they do think that.
"Their going after things like Medicaid or Social Security is not... an unintended effect. It’s very much what they want to destroy."

@warandpeas For #Trump it has to be the biggest, the sharpest, the most expensive, the fastest, the smoothest and the most orange anyone has ever seen 
@wdlindsy@toad.social"WaPo reported that over 5 million Americans work in industries that could be impacted by retaliatory tariffs from China and Canada that just went into effect, and the vast majority of them live in counties that voted for Trump. New tariffs from those two countries primarily target the agricultural, manufacturing and energy sectors."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"Cuts that sound like a good idea to Elon Musk and Donald Trump have real impacts on the rest of us. That is only just beginning to dawn on people, who I’m sure you’re hearing, like I am, saying, “But I didn’t vote for this.” Trump 2.0, as I’ve written previously, isn’t a pick-your-own-adventure experience. You go to the carnival, you get all of the rides."

@wdlindsy@toad.socialJoyce Vance comments on how much people through the center of the US relied on NOAA forecasts and warning with the massive storm system that has just caused so much damage and loss of life. Yet about 2,000 NOAA have been cut since January and there's no way the program will continue to function well with massive cuts in personnel.

@wdlindsy@toad.socialPolitical consultant Matt Herdman says, "Elon Musk and Donald Trump are stealing seniors' hard-earned benefits. It's already happening, and it'll get worse if they go through with closing branch offices and cutting staff."
See Jessica Corbett's good report (link below).

@wdlindsy@toad.socialLast week, he was told that SSA would fix the problem, but as of last Friday, he had not gotten his February and March SS payments.
Jeff Nesbit, public affairs chief for 5 federal agencies/departments including SSA under 4 presidents, shared this story on X, saying: "So incredibly sad that Musk/DOGE are now preying on people like this. I hope older Americans understand the assault underway against Social Security right now."

@wdlindsy@toad.socialAfter making multiple calls to SSA, during which he was "put on hold and then eventually disconnected" and securing an appointment that was ultimately rescheduled for the next week, Johnson went to his local SSA office, one of several sites DOGE now wants to shut down across the country.
He waited and waited to be seen at the SSA office and finally jumped the line and insisted he was alive.

@wdlindsy@toad.socialDanny Westneat tells the story of what happened to Leonard "Ned" Johnson after his wife got a notice from their bank in February that the Social Security Administration requested a return for benefits paid out after the supposed death of her husband. Since Ned was alive, his wife figured it was a scam, but SSA then yanked $5,201 from their bank account.

@wdlindsy@toad.social"This week, a still-more ominous threat appears to be circling. Bloomberg reports that three individuals representing private equity concerns — firms in an insidious financial industry intent on harvesting anything that can rake in a profit for the ultrarich — have now shown up, alongside DOGE, to meddle in the life-sustaining work of the SSA."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"The Social Security Administration (SSA), an irreplaceable lifeline for 73 million people, is only the latest venerable U.S. institution to be hit with a campaign of media falsehoods and startling internal sabotage efforts, all on the orders of Trump and the reactionary right."
