“If the US launches a ground operation against Yemen, it will backfire”
by Robert Inlakesh in Al Mayadeen English
“A US-led ground war in Yemen to seize Hodeidah would be a catastrophic blunder, empowering Ansar Allah and destabilizing the region for Israeli interests”

If it takes approximately 3.5% of a country’s population to mobilize in protest and commit to change, then we’ll need to get about 12 million on the streets in the U.S. I’d guess we’re at 100-200K now (on any given weekend day), so it shows you the work to be done. Everybody counts and every body counts.

The wife of the pathetic, good for nothing, desperate loser Reza #Pahlavi, the oldest soon of Iran's last king was seen during a pro #genocide rally in the #US.
While #Trump administration has once again opened the door for support of Iranian opposition groups, mainly the Maoist/islamist cult of #Rajavi (so called (#NCRI), the former prince and his wife are desperately trying to get a piece of the pie and a chance to become the rulers of the country again.
Their biggest hope is #Netanyahu and the extreme Israeli leaders like Ben-Gvir.
Many people have n the US, specially #Giuliani, #Huckabee, #Rubio and other Christian Talibans prefer supporting Rajavi instead.
The White House propaganda team now has an official "Rapid Response 47" account on Xitter that is posting straight fascist propaganda using detainees as props. Folks we don't know anything about all these people he's deporting. All we know are the claims Trump makes. I wouldn't take him at his word on any of them.

Zu den Protesten gegen die Regierung in Serbien. In Serbien halten die Proteste gegen die Regierung an. Von Studenten ausgehend haben sie inzwischen breite Bevölkerungsschichten erreicht. Manche Beobachter – auch der serbische Präsident – mutmaßen eine weitere vom westlichen Ausland unterstützte „Farben-Revolution“. Multipolar-Autor Rumen Milkow war in Belgrad und sprach mit Demonstranten und Einwohnern.
Not that it's anything I could ever discuss in detail, but we did--until Trump regime change forbade it--have a slate of effective info ops against the enemy that has now taken over our government. Folks: you should be ready to take action en masse because there is no government branch that is not part of this regime change at this time. And you should be scared enough to wake up out of your comfy American slumber. #war #coup #RegimeChange #corruption
Center for Systemic Peace, which published the Polity Index: "The USA dropped below the "democracy threshold" (+6) on the POLITY scale in 2020 and was considered an anocracy (+5) at the end of the year 2020; the USA score for 2021 returned to democracy (+8). Beginning on 1 July 2024, due to the US Supreme Court ruling granting the US Presidency broad, legal immunity, the USA is noted by the Polity Project as experiencing a regime transition through, at least, 20 January 2025. ... The USA is no longer considered a democracy and lies at the cusp of autocracy; it has experienced a Presidental Coup and an Adverse Regime Change event (8-point drop in its POLITY score)."

Trump’s allies are orchestrating regime change in Ukraine.

One quibble with this author. He says:
"With all the chest beating of white supremacists, Christian nationals, and other MAGA-minded Trumpsters about the system being weaponized against them, you’d think they’d recognize it in themselves as they do unto others."
The cruelty and oppression is in fact the point, not an unintended consequence. You can't appeal to reason or decency, because they have none.
The far-right plutocrat class (who aren't MAGA, but who *use* MAGA) might care to reflect on the idea that the phrase "regime change" can be used by other countries as well as it can by the USA.

DOGE was never about reducing "waste, fraud and abuse." It's ideological.

It is clear that cutting costs, waste & fraud are not real targets for DOGE — everything cut so far = miniscule % of total US Government spending. DOGE is this administration's goon squad threatening American democracy, US democratic institutions & our allies -- and so, the world.

Rulers are no more than attorneys, agents and trustees for the people; and if the cause, the interest and trust is insidiously betray’d, or wantonly trifled away, the people have a right to revoke the authority, that they themselves have deputed, and to constitute abler and better agents, attorneys and trustees.
