I'm always deeply wary of anyone that isn't the Roman Empire trying to start a new salute (or reappropriate an old one).

There are a variety of perfectly acceptable options (handshake, touching elbows, namaste) depending upon how socially distanced one wishes to be.

I wonder if there's merit in making anyone wishing to start a new salute use one from the #ArnoldRimmer character in #RedDwarf.

#Canada imposes new #sanctions against #Russia.

Canada introduced new sanctions on March 2 against 10 #Russian individuals and 21 entities.

The sanctions target #military leaders, post-Wagner #paramilitary groups, and affiliated organizations involved in resource extraction.

@_maleficentgirl They got close in the 2016 election, so they were prepared from Day 1 this time. On Day 1, Trump pardoned violent criminals who attacked people on Jan 6. These people have memberships in organizations that commit violent acts of #racism and #transphobia. Example: #ProudBoys. They are creating #paramilitary forces. The new FBI Director is providing data to these groups to commit violence against #synagogues, #BIPOC, #LGBTQ+, #antiracist activists, …democratic leaders.

At this point
To Non #MAGAs #Americans I strong recommend
>Arm yourself<
(get ready to try to defend yourself)

MAGAs have already begun to constitute official '#paramilitary' bodies
to 'support the police'.
(Exactly what the #brown #shirts of #Hitler were)

Groups of violent fanatics to whom 'Authority' is given to harass citizens' not aligned
with the party of the great leader.

Get ready to defend yourself
or leave the country if you can
(as many did in Germany and in Russia)

The Israeli military launched a major offensive in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Tuesday focused on the northern city of Jenin, which came just days after the ceasefire in Gaza took effect. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said at least nine Palestinians had been killed and 40 had been wounded

#Trump released the J6 rioters, even the violent ones, for a purpose: "The message is unambiguous: Trump wants supporters who engage in street violence on the loose. He wants a #paramilitary arm for which he has #plausible #deniability."

"He believed democracy was under siege from groups the FBI has said pose a major domestic terrorism threat. So he infiltrated the militia movement on spec, as a freelance vigilante. He did not tell the police or the FBI. A loner, he did not tell his family or friends."

Today in Labor History October 27, 2006: U.S. anarchist activist and journalist, Brad Will, was murdered by a government-affiliated paramilitary while covering the teachers’ strike in Oaxaca, Mexico. He was affiliated with Indymedia. In the 1990s, he worked as a teaching assistant to Peter Lamborn Wilson (a.k.a. Hakim Bey). He later moved to a squat in New York’s Lower East Side. He once participated in a protest against a proposed amendment to the Colorado constitution that sought to curtail gay rights, by pretending to marry another man, dressed in drag, with a parade in front of a Promise Keepers event in Boulder, Colorado. He was also active in Earth First, pirate radio, and other causes.

#TotalEnergies is building a gigantic #naturalGas plant. ‘The French oil and gas major’s first task was to ring the land it had been granted with a 12-foot-high double security fence dotted with watchtowers. To defend it, the company set up the Joint Task Force, a rotating presence of some 700 Mozambican soldiers, commandos and #paramilitary police — paid, equipped and accommodated by #Total’…

Listening to Prosecuting Donald Trump (Was J6 a Precursor?): chrt.fm/track/6D589D/dts.podtr

As Donald Trump’s sentencing date approaches, he and his lawyers are throwing all the spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break down the former president’s request to adjourn his sentencing until after the election, and the Manhattan DA’s response. Then, ProPublica reporter Joshua Kaplan joins for a deep dive into his reporting on unlawful American militia groups. Andrew and Mary talk with him about the threat these paramilitary groups pose, how they’ve used Trump’s denial of the election results for recruitment and spreading their ideology, as well as the dangers of collaboration with law enforcement.       Here is Josh Kaplan’s ProPublica investigation: Armed and Underground: Inside the Turbulent, Secret World of an American Militia. (Included is a response from Meta about the use of Facebook as a recruitment tool.)   Also a note: We're expecting a joint filing in the DC case next Tuesday, so we’ll release our episode on Wednesday so Mary and Andrew can detail what's in that filing.
