Veterans facing arrests over protests
25 February 2026
From October: *Growing number of US veterans face arrest over protests [against deportation thugs].*
An ordinary perjurer lies about facts and expects there will be no proof that perse lied. These federal prosecutors did blatant blackwhiting about basic notions of right and wrong.
The epitome of an arrogant, dishonest bully punches you, then accuses you of "Hitting my fist with your face." Prosecutors did essentially that when they knocked over Briggs and then charged him with having "made physical contact with an agent's arm."
Teaching prosecutors to blackwhite on command is moral damage that many will not recover from. If we ever regain control, we will need to disbar them and replace them. Justice requires prosecutors who will prosecute thugs for documented attacks on protesters and other innocent people, not the thugs' victims.
With luck there will be former a pool of prosecutors who resigned rather than do such things, whom we could reappoint.

inJustice Department persecuting because of political opinions

Bully returned to bullying Ukraine

Palestine Action ruling
25 February 2026
*The Palestine Action ruling vindicates the courageous – and shames the complicit.*
The ruling, if sustained by the appeals court, will put an end to the ban on the organization.
The article compares Palestine Action to the suffragettes and finds that their tactics were similar.
Retired British couple of activists for Palestine

A British bank closed the personal savings account of a retired British couple of activists for Palestine, and refuses to give them any justification for this. They believe it must be political repression.
T-Mobile to pass calls through powerful computer system
25 February 2026
T-Mobile will implement the feature of passing everything said in a phone call to a powerful computer system.
The advertised feature is to translate between languages using "Artificial Intelligence", though it might really be mere Pretend Intelligence.
But if it can do that, with millions of conversations at once, what else can it do to everyone at once?
It can try to recognize you from your voice. It can convert your conversation into text, with a scattering of errors, and save that for Big Brother.
TSA precheck suspended
24 February 2026
The bully is trying to focus self-important Americans' hostility on Democrats by shutting down two faster manners of going through airport security checkpoints, supposedly because of Democrats' refusal to fund the Department of Hatred and Sadism.
These two programs give preference to passengers who sign up and give their fingerprints. However, in the 2000s, the TSA would sometimes route some frequent fliers through the TSA Pre line even though we had not signed up. Apparently they didn't really need passengers' fingerprints to send them through the faster scan. So why demand fingerprints?
I suspect that was meant to teach Americans to be happy to be fingerprinted in exchange for saving some time.
The Democrats who criticize the government for halting these programs are being foolish and shallow. The bully is doing so many cruel, damaging and vindictive things; it is lacking a sense of proportion to complain about something that only causes a little more delay.
Sunday Thought
24 February 2026
Robert Reich: the wrecker responds to setbacks with redoubled cruelty and stupid tantrums.
I paid no attention to what he said about pulling some thugs out of Minneapolis, because when he talks about making a concession, it is never a real concession.
Trump warns consequences
24 February 2026
The obedience-trainer demands that Netflix remove someone from its board if it wants to be allowed to take over another large TV and movies company.
I recommend refusing to do business with Netflix, because of unjust aspects of its business.
Warner Bros Discovery does many of the same injustices. So I expect never to be a customer for either one, whether merged or not.
However, the merger of two such large companies will be harmful to the US and its people. Two such large companies should never be allowed to merge.
Targeted for deportation
24 February 2026
*A Guardian analysis of government records has found that the vast majority – 77% – of people who entered deportation proceedings for the first time in 2025 had no criminal conviction.

Federal thugs raided race track
23 February 2026
Federal thugs raided a race track with a warrant to arrest its owner for illegal gambling — but they violently seized and tied up all the spectators (including children) and wouldn't even let them go to toilet.
Now they are trying to sue over this outrageous conduct, but need to have recourse to a rather obscure legal argument to make it possible.
Google handing over surveillance camera footage
23 February 2026
Google can hand over video footage from Pest surveillance cameras on subpoena even after it tells the "owner" it has "deleted" that footage.
States should prohibit remote transmission of "security" camera footage, so that anyone who wants to obtain it has to go to the camera and extract it physically.
Bully defends racist video
23 February 2026
The bully continues to defend the racist video that portrayed Obama and his wife as apes. Worse than that, the video spread election disinformation lies that are aimed at undermining future elections.
Banned protests in New South Wales
23 February 2026
The head of government of New South Wales banned a protest on behalf of Palestinians on the occasion of a visit by the President of Israel. Thugs attacked would-be protesters, who accused them of crimes. Now he is trying to prevent those accusations from being investigated.
All around the world we see efforts to equate the protesting of Israel's war crimes with antisemitism. That is so evidently absurd that I don't understand why anyone takes it seriously.
Amazon and Walmart subsidized by SNAP
23 February 2026
Amazon and Walmart are heavily subsidized in the US by SNAP — their staff are paid so little they need food aid.
Other companies that frequently appear at the top of the state lists include McDonald’s, DoorDash, Uber, Dollar Tree, and Dollar General.
We need to increase the minimum wage.
Funding for Deportation thugs blocked by filibuster
23 February 2026
Democrats in the Senate blocked the rest of the deportation thugs' funding with a filibuster. They demand putting some specific limits on the deportation thug department's ability to get away with violence.
I agree with these demands, and I agree with the position that the thugs should also have some of their funds taken away and given to poor people.

FBI investigating Extinction Rebellion NYC
23 February 2026
It looks like the FBI is investigating Extinction Rebellion NYC.
Extinction Rebellion is (or perhaps was) an effort to defend the world against threats of devastation. The making of such threats has a resemblance to terrorism. But I have a feeling that the FBI has not been directed to investigate those threats and help Extinction Rebellion defend civilization from them. More plausibly it is following the wrecker's Orwellian practice of labeling nonviolent protest as "domestic terrorism".

In 2021, China banned fishing entirely in the Yangtze River. Since then, the quantity of fish in the river has doubled.
More political freedom with Maduro gone
23 February 2026
The government formerly headed by President Maduro is allowing more political freedom now that Maduro is gone.
We cannot take for granted that this will restore the political freedom that President Chavez respected, and the persecutor cares no more about freedom for Venezuelans than he does about freedom for Americans. Nonetheless, if the result of his intervention turns out to be freedom in Venezuela, I will rejoice at that result.

Zelenskyy demands 20-year "security guarantee" for peace deal
23 February 2026
Zelenskyy says he demands a 20-year "security guarantee" from the bullshitter to make a peace deal with Russia reliable.
Under a previous US government, such a 20-year commitment might be a basis to trust the deal, but the bullshitter never respects any commitment except to a billionaire who is paying for that commitment. The bullshitter could make a deal with you this month, and next month tell you that he expects you to pay a fortune for that deal.
