To all those warning of a coup in the US, it’s too late! What needs to be discussed is how to take back our government. And I don’t mean going back to the status quo of the pre trump era of politics. That is what got us here.
Just a few ideas to start the discussion.
1. Reign in the oligarchy.
2. Implement and enforce anti monopoly policies. Block the merger and acquisitions that lead to consolidation of industries.
3. Revise the tax code. End corporate loopholes, investor class loopholes and special interest groups loopholes including religious organizations.
4. Institute data privacy protections
5. Change the way the judicial branch operates. End life time appointments and change how judges are appointed.
6. Change the licensing process for media companies including so called social media.
7. Confront the distortions in society have created a permanent segregated society for large sections of society.
8. Confront the epidemic of poverty and homelessness nationwide.
9. Institutes a universal healthcare system. Take health care out of the hands of employers.
10. Institute a policy of research and development on a national scale. The US will not be able to compete, let alone win global competition with a population of ignorant religious fanatics. Expertise is what we should strive for.

Why, you may ask, is America so fucked up? Simple. The “southern strategy” employed by Nixon worked. It worked beyond their wildest dreams. Three simple steps:
1. Christian fundamentalism ( Christo-fascism)
2. Segregation. Jim Crow, Apartheid - call it what you will. Maybe just racism.
3. States rights. Basically the ability of states to enforce #1 and #2. And keep the feds out.
Gerrymandering has been a key factor for their success. Stacking the courts and electing incompetent morons who can be easily manipulated is a contributing factor too. But the most important thing is money. Lots and lots of money. Hire lawyers Fund think tanks. Flood every news zone. Buy social media. Control the news cycle 24 hours a day. Instill hatred, fear and insecurity. And lie. Lie about everything!
Worked like a charm.

Look, seriously, do not visit the US. They’re going full fascist.
The EU should be releasing travel warnings at this point.
Do not, I repeat do not, send your kids to study in the US.
Not only do the outrageous fees you pay as an “alien” (their term, not mine) keep their universities afloat, but your kid could be arbitrarily detained by their gestapo for demonstrating a conscience.

Apparently, Wayne Gretzky feels bad over the criticisms of his Trump support. His wife claims his heart is broken over the online comments.
Good.
He has wronged his country, and he should feel guilt, shame, and pain at a time when Trump is inflicting harm on the country he claims to love.
He needs to choose, an American dictator or the Canadian people. He cannot remain close to Trump and also enjoy the love and support of Canada.
When trying to find “European alternatives” to US products – to avoid looking like a 🤡 – ensure that your “alternative” is not funded by US venture capital.
Dear EU, the answer to US capitalism going full fascist isn’t more EU capitalism.
Ontario, Canada’s most populous province just announced:
- removal of all American alcohol from store shelves, meaning all Ontario businesses will not be able to buy or sell American wine, beer, or liquor (we’re their largest importer at $1b/yr)
- banned US companies from bidding on contracts
- cancelled huge Starlink contract
- ending nickel exports (look up what that means)
- next step will be a 25% tax on energy sales to the US.
We should be arming #Ukraine, not "for as long as it takes", but TO WIN.
Why? Because, to begin with, we are seriously struggling to keep #democracy afloat "for as long as it takes" and, in order to defend democracy, we must achieve a resounding Ukrainian #victory.
That's why oligarchs, terrorists, extremists and dictators are ALL so invested in stopping war-time investment in European #security in the Ukrainian front.
Focus. Act decisively. Act now.
I’ve been trying to only toot positive stuff here, but these words in Rebecca Solnit’s latest (excellent as always) blog post, about the ongoing coup in Washington, really resonated with me.

It has been noted that Elon Musk has positioned himself within the government in a way to try to avoid any liability for his actions.
In a filing Feb 17, an official in the Trump Administration says that Elon Musk is not the Administrator in charge of DOGE.
He’s a Advisor to the President, per declaration. That's it.
Think about this, it's a coup.

We are #meeting up in several #cities throughout the #US, #Canada and #Europe in 2025.
We are planning "Nikonians City Meet-Up's" with the chance to get to know each other a bit better, to learn and to go out and shoot.
Able to help out? See our blog. Image: Simon Leech and Albert Esschendal helping on Photokina, 2006, Cologne, Germany.

It is now illegal to transmit personal information of EU citizens to cloud infrastructure in the #US as they won't be protected by the #GDPR.
Many European service providers will have to move quickly to avoid fines, but eventually #EU data will be held in the EU, benefiting companies in Europe, and supporting #DigitalSovereignty.
That means AWS, Azure, Google and iCloud can lose a sizeable chunk of their customer base if no moves are made. I am all for it.

⚠️ This is a warning that the #US government could soon be pushing malware through its various agency websites ‼️

I've started making a list of #US products to boycott, and non-US alternatives: https://github.com/happysegfault/boycottusa
Suggestions are very welcome!
Europeans, Canadians, Latin Americans and other victims of #Trump 's aggressive trade war need to stand together and support each other.
