I am sharing part of an email I receive from Forwardobserver.com. This may be why things are quiet on the domestic front. Seems they are in the planning stages.
(Good morning. Here’s your Early Warning Briefing for Wednesday, 13 November 2024.
InFocus: “Post Election Mass Call” Summary
Over 200 organizations came together last week for a “post-election mass call” to discuss the way forward for left wing political action and mobilization against the incoming Trump administration.
A reported 140,000 viewers joined the Zoom call while organizers stressed the need to create a multi-racial and multi-lingual workers movement against Trump.
Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President April Verrett called for a re-commitment to organize workplaces, “creating new rules, systems and standards” to expand union power.
Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association (NEA), vowed to use the NEA’s three million members “in ways we didn’t before,” like reaching out to parents and families to mobilize support for the NEA’s opposition to the Trump administration.
MoveOn Director Rahna Epting said they had been “strategizing for over a year now” on how to combat a Trump administration, adding that they have to leverage political backlash during Trump’s first 100 days in office.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) joined the call to stress the need for unity and to avoid fingerpointing over Democrats’ election loss.
Indivisible co-founder Leah Greenberg said she expects the Trump administration to overreach its authority and called for efforts to “build a bigger, stronger coalition to stop MAGA once and for all.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) discussed the drop in support for incumbent leaders around the world, and hinted at using lawfare to target the Trump administration’s voter identification and election integrity initiatives.
Organizers called for an interlocking set to strategic approaches referred to as 4B:
Block: Protect communities, democratic functions, and civil institutions from Trump policies, and then rebuild and fortify a majoritarian pro-democracy coalition.
Break: Weaken pillars of support for the MAGA movement and the Trump administration.
Bridge: Offer a permission structure for parts of the MAGA movement to join the pro-democracy coalition.
Build: Build political and social power to deliver transformative change and move forward into 2028.
Why It Matters: The host characterized post-election conditions as being dangerous due to converging crises at a time when Republicans have sweeping political power in the House, Senate, White House and Supreme Court. Efforts to divide the MAGA movement were a recurring topic, which almost certainly will manifest in information operations and pressure campaigns against key members and policies of the Trump administration. Previous pressure campaigns from 2017-2020 caused dissension inside the Trump administration in order to amplify accusations of chaos and dysfunction. Trump campaign officials have remained adamant that they will be able to correct these mistakes from the last administration. Overall, this organizing meeting showed that dozens of massive political and social groups are coming together behind this “4B” strategy to use political, social, and legal tools to hamper Trump’s legislative priorities.- M.S.
(1) Beltway Rollup:
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Biden administration will push “every dollar we have at our disposal” to Ukraine, before President-elect Trump is inaugurated.
Senate Democrats confirmed Judge April Perry to the federal Northern District of Illinois trial court in a 51-44 vote yesterday. (This is an indicator that Senate Democrats will focus on filling federal court vacancies rather than pressuring Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire, and give Biden a Supreme Court pick. Sotomayor has said she will not resign. – R.C.)
Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
