In one sesne the Dems have two years to get their act together so they can take back the Senate ( i think ) which should make it much harder for Trump to get any laws passed, after that they have 2 years to go further and win the next election, they will then spend 4 years simply undoing all the damage that can be undone.
Of course in 4 years there may not be an election as Trump has suggested or implied that there may not be an election.
Kremlin dismisses reports Trump and Putin spoke in recent days as ‘pure fiction’
There should be a record of the phone call from BOTH ends surely.
What is the voting age population of the USA?
Ignorance and disinformation about science kills. We saw this with the GOP and Trump administration during the heights of the pandemic and we're going to see it again.
The Israeli army demolished the office of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem on Thursday, a local official said.
“Israeli bulldozers brought down the building, through which the UN agency runs the daily needs of residents,” Nehad al-Shaweeh, who heads a local service committee in the camp, told Anadolu.

I am sure that Jesus promoted tolerance and respect for ones neighbour. He taught forgiveness over retribution.
Regardless of if you like or dislike Kamala Harris, she was very clear that the election was a choice, those who didn't bother to vote surely can't complain as to the outcome of the election, a vote for an independent candiate is to reject the main parties. While this could be argued it hands the win to a particular side, it does show up that x percent have simply rejected the other two choices.
Trump has now announced the merciless Tom Homan as his new [quote:] "border tzar".
Homan has promised "the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen".
There will be zero empathy as the trains are filled with human beings who committed the crime of not being white enough for Trump.
Truly an appalling choice.
One advantage of the Internet and epecially fedi and indi services, is that we can share what is going on, we need to share pictures, video on here, peertube and other places, then make sure that those videos get copied to other instances in different legal juristictions.
IIRC, after 9/11 the spouses of workers who were killed found their visas were not valid as they had entered on their spouses visa, and that person was a victim of the terror attacks, this was under a GOP government in 2001, I am not sure what the outcome of some of these cases were, I think family members had a good argument under the circumstances.
I for one, can't wait to see the faces of the politicians here who defend trump and demand apologies from other MPs who tell the truth about trump. Being US president does not suddenly turn a Rapist in to a person who has not committed rape.

So it may not all be bad news, the IRA act seems to be safe(ish) even of republicans control congress, lets hope that any other measures meet with opposition or resistance.

NASA want to go to mars for Science and human exploration, Musk wants to go Mars to make money, satisfy his ego and colonise as he is arrogant enough to think Mars is ours to colonise.

If Trump goes ahead with his plan to abolish the NOAA what impact will this have on global climate monitoring and research.
🔴 We’re cooked on climate: 2024 virtually certain to be the hottest year on record
"The climate numbers are bad"
The trump luvvies are going to have a field day before too long, when they realise the person who they keep defending ( I am looking at the daily fail here) is exactly how the critics have described him, sadly our former PM (who also has no respect for the law) seems to be his best buddy.
On a side note, Al fayad raped women at work, with total impunity, people enabled it and you can't tell me no one else knew
Our own Archbishop of canterbury was also in office along side someone who abused others, how is it they are NEVER aware or claim to not be aware.
The super rich are a law unto themselves only because others enable it.
