The U.S. Senate has advanced a resolution that would bar President Donald Trump from further military action against Venezuela without congressional authorization, a rare rebuke of the Republican leader. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/09/world/politics/us-senate-trump-war-power/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #venezuela #republicans #democrats

NEW: Gun-Makers Gave Sensitive Customer Information to #Political Operatives
==
At least 10 #gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians.
So Rachel Reeves has confirmed the austerity mindset continues in Govt., by announcing that the increase of defence budgets warranted (to be fair) by the current situation in the Middle East & the continuing threat(s) for Russia, will be paid for by cuts elsewhere in the public sector...
Given over a decade of cuts this will be brutal, and prompts the Q. if the country continues to devastated by austerity what exactly are our armed forces protecting?

I think there is something fundamentally wrong with Big Tech playing the nationalism card and I think regulation is more important than ever before.
Most Americans also want Big Tech to be regulated.

Exploiting Meta’s Weaknesses, Deceptive #Political Ads Thrived on #Facebook and #Instagram in Run-Up to #election2024
==
Despite Meta's stated commitment to crack down on harmful content, it failed to catch tens of thousands of ads that used false claims and deepfakes of political figures to collect users’ sensitive personal data or bait them into monthly charges.

UPDATE 11-May-2026 10:55 UTC+7.
353/560 — 207 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 5 days.
Monthly pledges help ease the instability that comes with disability and having no fixed income or healthcare, though one-off support also helps immensely.
Small contributions add up toward the essentials that keep me afloat: food, bills, and internet access.
If direct support isn’t possible, please consider amplifying this post.
This support helps me stay connected, survive, and continue participating in mutual aid and political work that reaches beyond borders.
Thank you, thank you

Ellis Bates: "Georgia’s transformation into the next Virginia is happening at lightning speed. The state is trending leftward at an unprecedented pace. In 2024, Georgia voted less than a point to the right of the nation. Not long ago, it was 4 to 5 points to the right."

"We knew something was coming...
More than a week ago, Aure Free Press posted that Trump will create a diversionary tactic to deflect his actions regarding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Unfortunately, we didn't think Trump would resort to kidnapping another country's leader and bombing the large city of Caracas, Venezuela"

How #Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From #Congress
—
Rather than relying on his party’s control of Congress to trim the #budget, Trump and his advisers intend to test an obscure legal theory holding that presidents have sweeping power to defund programs they dislike.

From a friend working the polls in Chicago:
"I’ve been the Election Coordinator in a north side precinct for a decade. Almost 20 elections. I have never seen an Election Day turnout anywhere *close* to this. We had a line of 30 people when we opened the polls at 6:00am. That is unprecedented. We’ve had a continuous 2-hour line since then. Also unprecedented.
THIS IS NUTS!! IN THE BEST WAY!!”
If even nurses can be made gig workers, who else will be in their crosshairs?
I spoke with Katie J. Wells about how technology doesn’t have to be used against workers, but that’s precisely how it’s being implemented.

«#Project2025 is a radical #US #conservative #agenda — but what if its ideas are coming to #Europe? This video dives into “#TheGreatReset,” a real #EU-focused plan backed by #Orbán allies. It aims to weaken #Brussels, kill #EUcourts, and put #power back in #national hands. We explore the origins, the goals, and why it’s more than just a theory.

"Muslims are not neutral subjects in the global order, and Islam is already positioned as suspect within it. The conversation about hijab does not happen in a vacuum. Take authoritarianism in Iran, for example.
Instead of seeing authoritarianism as inherently gendered and violent, as an inevitable feature of patriarchy, as a system that justifies itself by co-opting any moral framework, you view it as either “uniquely Islam”, an “Abrahamic religions issue”, or “proof that all religions are oppressive.” Why don’t you name a secular, non-authoritarian, non-misogynistic nation-state, then?"
