Feeling heavy and drained simply by existing in the USA? Garrett Graff says it could be the weight of the shift from "zero to non-zero." "There are so many aspects of our daily life that we’d never had to weigh before; so many new possible horrors that we have to carry in our minds each day." Here's his piece for his Doomsday Scenario newsletter.

Ponzi America is breaking down. It's run out of suckers.
We just can't afford to structure our economy like an Amway downline anymore. We never could.

Point Venezuela :
Au delà de la fessée cul nu qu'elle inflige à un blaireau RN c'est cadeau, Alma Dufour démontre que quand on bosse le dossier on comprends les enjeux géopolitiques :
les USA deviennent un empire colonial à la recherche de matières premières (pétrole, minerais). C'est ça la véritable motivation de Trump. Car l'économie de son pays est en train de s'effondrer sous le poids des contradictions internes du capitalisme.

Il a osé le dire: "Il n'y a pas pour moi de scénario où les Etats-Unis d'Amérique seraient mis dans une situation de violer la souveraineté danoise", déclare Macron sur France 2 en marge d'un sommet des alliés de l'Ukraine à Paris. Réaction d'un diplomate: "Le président ne croyait pas non plus que Poutine envahirait l'Ukraine, on a vu le résultat". Le Groenland a du souci à se faire...

Welcome to 2026. If you're a #USA citizen, starting today you can you request your ballot for all the upcoming elections this year (the big one in November, but also primaries leading up to it).
The best way: use https://votefromabroad.org to fill out the form electronically and have it sent to your elections clerk in the place where you're registered (or want to register, if you need to do that).
I just did it - took < 5 minutes.
The service is paid for by @democratsabroad (the party who WANTS you to vote), but it's open to ANY US citizen abroad.
Please boost and pass the word to any USA people you know outside the USA!
Harold Hongju Koh, a well regarded professor of international law at Yale Law School says (in the FT):
'Trump has baldly violated the UN charter, with no valid claim of self-defence & engaged in an illegal extraterritorial arrest that will be vigorously contested in a US court... All on the pretext of stopping drugs, when his transparent goal is profiting from oil'!
As Koh argues this will ultimately be a test of the legality of the US' assertion of extraterritorial sovereignty!

The problem here is that yet again, courts of the #USA are being asked to decide whether the #US has broken #internationalLaw.
On previous occasions when this question has arisen, #AmericanJudges have stood tall, looked themselves in the eye, and asked "should American criminality be restrained by international law?"
Or, simply "are we gangsters"?
Then they have proudly declared " #GodBlessAmerica", and pronounced that #America can do whatever the hell it likes to whoever it chooses.
Folks, I’m just putting the finishing touches on an update to the Gaza Verified site that will make signing up for verification as easy as signing in with your Mastodon account (with none of the manual adding of the verification link to your profile that proved to be a stumbling block for many).
I’ll be reopening sign ups today once I’m done with that.
In the meanwhile, please remember that there are folks in Gaza who are suffering through an ongoing genocide at the hands of Israel and its Western allies (US, UK, and the EU) so if you can help, please do:
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
None of us are an international agency and we can’t help everyone but you can help improve one person’s life and that of their family and that means something too, especially when the international agencies that should be helping are being prevented from doing so by Israel and the US.

Have you watched Cory Doctorow @pluralistic speech about:
A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (a speech at 39C3 in Hamburg on Dec 28, 2025)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39jsstmmUUs
It's about the high risk of being dependent on US #techology & why other countries should get rid of the anti-circumvention laws (that they were forced to implement with threat of #tariffs) that prop up US #tech companies.
Worth watching.

Practically every tangentially related to work external meeting I have had with other Canadians in the last year has included a segue where all parties discussed taking steps to diversify away from US infra/software/orgs.
It's the kind of activity where nothing seems to be happening, until it happens all at once.
e.g. We began researching, negotiations, and planning early in 2025 and only actually started migrating systems in December. We will begin cancelling contracts later this month.

La satira e le news dal mondo su: @attualita
Oh shit, I just realised that every time Trump is talking about countries "emptying their mental institutions and sending them over here", he's talking about asylum seekers.
The orange moron doesn't understand the difference between political asylum and a mental asylum.
It's hard to fathom how stupid that blob of rotting lard is.
