Good morning. ☕☕☕

6 January 2025

Hmmm ... I was just sitting here thinking back to what happened four years ago today. Today is the anniversary of the zombie attack on the capital in Washington DC. I don't jest, to me, that is exactly what the attackers looked like. It was awful and sad to watch things unfold on the television. The scene was like something out of a science fiction movie where a virus took control of susceptible minds and drove them insane. There was a horde of monsters lurching violently towards the capital buildings while desperate defenders fought to keep them at bay, while showily losing ground due to the sheer numbers and violence of the mob. Sad day.

As Greg Sargent reports, Trump chose to pour out hate yesterday in Pennsylvania, as he pointed to the community of Charleroi, claiming Haitians have taken it over and are taking jobs from locals.

Charleroi Charleroi Borough Manager Joe Manning responds:

“There’s what the former president is saying, and then there’s easily observable reality.”

The New Republic · Trump’s Hateful New Rants at Rally Are Harshly Debunked by Town LeaderIn western Pennsylvania, Trump made one of his most savage anti-immigrant appeals yet. But one local official says it’s all a lie.

"At an event intended to tout economic policies that would usher in what his campaign calls a 'new age of American industrialism', Donald Trump spent as much time discussing personal grievances and blaming immigrants for everything from fentanyl overdoses to crime and taking Americans’ jobs as he did discussing the economy."

Does anyone believe a Jewish person would be treated this way by the British news media when speaking about antisemitism?

British news people not only deny #Islamophobia, they perpetuate a hierarchy of racism and misogyny.

Solidarity with Zarah Sultana!

Let GMB's ITV know what you think of this shameful treatment of a British woman who is an MP and a Muslim:

Good #Repixture news! The #mobs rework is going well. Now I've finally reimplemented all the mobs of the previous version with most of their basic functionality working again. The only major missing feature now is aggressive behavior, the rest is bugfixing.

I'm now approaching the "code cleanup" phase and hopefully I'll be able to finally make a release.

"We’ll all be holding our breath a little bit as we see how Trump responds to the news from Colorado. It should be unthinkable for a serious candidate for the presidency to be so volatile and have so little regard for the rule of law that his compliance with a court’s decision cannot be taken for granted. But here we are."
