Renaming things after himself isn’t just about his narcissism, it’s also essential to his use of the office to enrich himself. Ending the corruption will thus require removing his name, image & likeness from all gov’t facilities & vehicles + withholding funding from any entity presenting his NIL.

Delightful article! And with several LOL moments.
For example: "On Tuesday, 21 November ... Altman was reinstated ... a new chairman was appointed, the well-known ethical titan Larry Summers."

... look, far be it from me to side with Extinction Rebellion, but this is maybe the most universally known tactic of nonviolent resistance and these cops are talking about it like it's some new way to cheat.
This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)

Western media reframes Gaza’s genocide as Netanyahu’s failure, turning systemic settler-colonial violence into the story of one man. Jwan Zreiq writes that narrative itself has become a battlefield, where memory, mourning, and resistance are at stake.
