Just a little (terminally?) online news to be aware of: Innuendo Studios is "back" after essentially a 4 year hiatus (gee, wonder why). Allegedly only to do a couple videos and then bow out of their online production entirely (🤞). Preaching to us for years about fascism and then coming back after saying not a word about 14 months of televised genocide in order to lecture us that we need to do something about Trump, and watch out for him insituting a Muslim registry.

I think it's just relevant to watch out for even baby leftists falling into the trap of joining this guy's fanclub and thinking he is a leftist. Beware in your broader social media and possibly even offline interactions for this dude's fandom. His preachy style makes people go absolutely gaga. Ugh.

Update on the deportation flights situation: The fourth deportation flight using a US military aircraft took place today, and to a different country than before. Flight RCH141, a C-17 Globemaster military transport aircraft, left from El Paso, Texas; and landed in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The flight notably avoided Mexican airspace. Ecuador has become the lastest country to allow for the United States to conduct deportation flights using US military aircraft, and has given in to the US demands on this issue without any resistance.

So for a general overview of the situation, I'll break it down into four categories:

Countries that have allowed the United States to conduct deportation flights to them directly using US military aircraft without any resistance:

• Guatemala
• Ecuador

Countries that allow the United States to use their airspace to conduct deportations using US military aircraft to other countries, but have not accepted US military deportation flights themselves:

• Costa Rica
• Nicaragua
• Honduras
• Belize (on a return flight from Guatemala towards the United States)

Countries that put up resistance to deportation flights using US military aircraft, but appear to have given in to US demands on this issue according to the latest White House statement, though this remains to be seen:

• Colombia

Countries that do not allow the United States to use their airspace for US military aircraft deportation flights and have not accepted US military aircraft deportation flights themselves, but do allow the United States to use their airspace for civilian aircraft deportation flights to other countries:

• México.

It really seems that the administration is going all in on unitary executive theory.

Danish Leader On Crisis Tour Of Europe Amid Trump-Greenland Crisis

Danish leader Mette Frederiksen spent Tuesday urgently touring European capitals to rally support against U.S. demands to annex Greenland, following threats from American supreme leader Donald Trump, who told reporters this Saturday that Danish refusal to hand over the island would be “a very unfriendly act.”

Meetings with German, French, and NATO leaders signalled common European support for border integrity. The French even offered to deploy troops to Greenland, although Denmark choose not to move forward with the idea.

Even as Frederiksen spoke worriedly of a new kind of relationship between the United States and Europe she regurgitated the American Trump regime's talking points about Russian and Chinese bogeymen in the Arctic and signaled plans to ramp up military spending closer to 5% of GDP to placate Washington.

This Sunday, in a similar display of unity, Frederiksen met with the leaders of Sweden, Norway and Finland in Copenhagen.

The diplomatic efforts are being extensively posted by the Danish regime's social media team with texts in both English and Danish, intended to quell criticism at home that the regime is not being firm enough in its response and to show international observers, especially in Washington, that Denmark is not alone.

The Danish regime is following a two-pronged approach of drumming up European solidarity to stand up to potential tariffs from Washington on one hand while groveling before their imperial overlords on the other hand, conceding to Washington's demands of exorbitant military spending in a hope that this will satiate the empire's hunger.

Despite showcasing European and Nordic unity, the crisis highlights Western Europe’s vulnerability due to overreliance on U.S. military and economic ties, underscoring the fragility of the European political elite's reliance on perpetual American benevolence.

joker voice and here…. we…. Go…

With Trump threatening to tariff TSMC chips (if he actually ends up doing that), pausing federal grants and loans, fucking with a fellow NATO member, etc, it honestly seems like he’s just really leaning into the mad man negotiating tactic, which only works if you show you’re genuinely willing and able to take things into new territory. It’s all so outlandishly against the interests of stabilizing US hegemony that it’s the only angle I can think of that he’s working here.

more than a decade of the US trying to "pivot to Asia" to contain China , and it all ends with the US disembowling itself while China watches and wonders why the fuck they did that.

in seething news, here's some big talk from a vassal. incredible how freeland can spend 10 years being a US attack dog and then turn around and propose to work together with other vassals against the lord.

Former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said if she’s chosen as leader of the governing Liberal Party, she would hold a summit — bringing together leaders from Mexico, Denmark, Panama and the European Union — the day she’s sworn in as prime minister.

The coalition would “coordinate a joint response to challenges to our sovereignty and our economies,” she said in a statement.
