If senior officers carry out what Trump is threatening against NATO, “the officers and enlisted people below them will likely obey the chain of command”—and “such an outcome would be a tragedy, and potentially a global catastrophe,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OtxpMxan

Finally, from today: The full consequences of Trump's actions will take time to show up. Economists warn the undermining of institutions and alliances, erosion of the rule of law and cuts to scientific research (not a complete list) could do lasting damage.

Elected leaders across the globe are intentionally undermining their governments’ ability to govern. How and why do these leaders seek to dismantle the states they lead?

Georgian Dream is Europe’s most extreme and undemocratic political force, and those who enable it or act on its behalf should be treated accordingly.

We need to make this more explicit: The violence and civil collapse we're now seeing in Minnesota is by design. It's exactly what Trump and Stephen Miller want. MAGA is *all about* deliberately unleashing ethnic hatreds and violent antagonisms among Americans.

Iran protests live updates: death toll passes 2,500 as Trump warns Tehran against executions
US president says ‘help is on its way’, as reported death toll rises into the thousands and concerns Tehran may carry out first protest-related execution, that of Erfan Soltani * Trump promises ‘help is on its way’ and tells Iranians to ‘keep protesting’ * Hundreds of gunshot eye injuries found in one Iranian hospital amid brutal crackdown on protests * Iran protests: what we know so far about the spiralling anti-government demonstrations For the first time in days, Iranians were able to make calls abroad from their mobiles on Tuesday, according to reporting by Associated Press. Texting services have not been restored, however, and nor has the internet. Although Iranians were able to call abroad, they could not receive calls from outside the country, several people in the capital told Associated Press. The internet remained blocked, they said, though it is possible to access some government-approved websites. Cloudfare - an internet infrastructure provider, and one of several companies and monitors tracking the status of internet traffic in Iran – said traffic volumes have remained “at a fraction of a percent of previous levels”. Its latest update as of 01:00 UTC (which is about three hours and 30 minutes ago), shows a continued widespread blackout. Iran has been under an internet shutdown since Thursday night. Brief windows of connectivity were observed on Friday, but these did not last, according to Cloudfare. Netblocks, an independent global internet monitor, also notes that while some phone calls from Iran are connecting, there is “no secure way to communicate” and the general public remain cut off from the outside world.

With the growing outrage about the government being a tyranny because they’re considering shutting down X, which recently started producing non-consensual sexual images of women and children not as a bug, but as a feature, it’s worth asking - why?

What do they gain from X?

I think I know why.
They Say They "Protect Women and Children". X Paid Them Nearly £68,000
Four MPs. 691 hours. A platform facilitating abuse. And a silence that tells you everything.
