The answer to the question is all the billionaires surrounding Trump. Oligarchs all the way down. No need to be homophobic about it. America has always had a fascist ruling class.

Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of the university’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), was abducted by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Saturday for his role in organizing protests last year against Israel’s attack on Gaza. Khalil’s dean, Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, head of the School of International and Public Affairs, is a former Israeli military intelligence officer and official at Israel’s Mission to the United Nations. Yarhi-Milo played a significant role in drumming up public concern about a supposed wave of intolerable anti-Semitism sweeping over the campus, thereby laying the groundwork for the extensive crackdown on civil liberties that has followed the protests.

From a legal perspective I think it means that the permits are only able to set pre-requisite limits, but any end result can not be used to revoke it. Basically a CYA permit that allows the permitted entity to have oopsies as the end result that do not invalidate the permit. That's my poorly informed take on the legalese.

Today thousands of planes lost critical communications while in the US airspace after a SpaceX test flight exploded in low earth orbit. The explosion destroyed a significant portion of the Starlink satellite constellation, and international space tracking organizations are monitoring the situation closely. They are reporting a Kessler Syndrome cascade has not been ruled out.

Guess we will soon see exactly how 'mandatory' this spending real is.

This is called 'recuperation'. A classic form of coopting radical disruption back into the folds of the status quo. Think Napster > iTunes > Spotify as one example.

Delete any part or process you can. You may have to add them back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10 percent of them, then you didn’t delete enough.

This is rule 2 from Elmo's 'efficieny and optimization algorithm'.

Nazis and Zionists > Jews must leave Europe and go to Palestine

Zionists > Palestinians must leave Palestine and go somewhere else

seems to be a pattern here

This is why the phrase "fascism is imperialism turned inward" is so real. Using psyops and state violence to suppress dissent is the the same strategy used in the global south to overthrow and depose any mass labor movements or socialist leaning political formations.

Today 4,000 Amazon workers at a North Carolina warehouse will finish voting on a union. Employees say the company “mobilized an army” ahead of the election, siccing local police on organizers and trying to pit black and Hispanic workers against each other.

“Under the National Labor Relations Act, I should have been allowed to flyer on the premises,” said Orin Starn, who had worked at Amazon for six months. “But the police, who in the small town of Garner where Amazon is the biggest employer act as a kind of private security force, didn’t care and just took us off to jail.”
