The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

"This first responder in Gaza was trying to make a 3-month-old baby girl smile and laugh in an ambulance. But he couldn’t help but break down in tears. A local journalist said the baby survived an explosion in Khan Yunis"(Lifeline for Palestine) #Gaza #Genocide

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

If you don’t support, protect and defend our diverse immigrant neighbors and friends you do not get their delicious foods.

It is now your civic duty to undermine Republicans at every opportunity

This is racist and dangerous. Last I checked, Somalians are Black and Rep. Omar is a colleague. Where are the @housedemocrats.bsky.social? The @blackcaucus.bsky.social ? Do not allow these insults to go unanswered.

A former DEA agent called the release “devastating”: “It means any attempt to work your investigations to the highest levels is meaningless.”

Actually having to mute them because unfollowing now triggers Bluesky into thinking I want to see their shit in Discover.

@bsky.app is fucked exactly the same way Twitter got fucked @moderation.bsky.app

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Trump argued Tuesday that former special counsel Jack Smith’s final report — chronicling the criminal case against him for hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago — should NEVER be made public.

We said we'd never forget. We said never again.

Can a betrayal still be ironic?

BREAKING NYT: The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City. All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

atlantablackstar.com/2025/01/21/b... Frankly, I don't care what "critics" speaking in defense of hate groups say.

she wouldn't get a full time job when she was healthy and now she needs surgery that the health insurance she doesn't have can't cover. everyone in this country is just taking advantage of one another. fuck everybody.

See, it's shit like this that makes me ask why you did what you did to Talib Kweli @moderation.bsky.app

Bluesky wasn't even good for a fucking year before Nazis started fucking it all up for us. God fucking damn this place.

@moderation.bsky.app why'd you guys label @talibkweli.bsky.social as rude? He's not any ruder than any of the people who've been harassing him and putting his followers on abusive lists. I noticed his posts weren't showing up in my feed anymore and wondered why tagging him wasn't working either. Hm?

Why are we doing Nazi shit lists again @bsky.app

The Russians have captured our intelligence and security services or they'd be on this by now. If Ukraine doesn't keep those territories under fire Russia is 100% guaranteed to use American troops as a proxy against Europe. "The Europeans can do what they want" America is going to war no matter what

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

Suspect the point being made is that in both cases innocents were shot (and killed in the DC case). When ICE does it, it's been a blip in the media, where in a situation where it can be used by the regime to score points, it blankets the airwaves. (BTW, apologies if you were being rhetorical)

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator. I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

I'm feeling this a lot lately

Less than 24hrs after defending Saudi Prince when he was Q’d about his US-proven brutal murder of Journalist, Khashoggi -a political enemy critical of him - the Dictator in the WH called for the execution of Veterans in Congress for reciting the law that military need not follow unlawful orders. 🆘🇺🇸

Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

Dawn of the first day: 72 hours remaining

Trump is now calling for the executions of Democratic veterans who reminded the military of their duty to disobey “ILLEGAL” orders.

When people analyze Nazi Germany & the holocaust, it’s difficult to comprehend how so many people could essentially look the other way. This is actually just normal human behavior. There’s nothing special about it. The majority of people are unable to accept reality. It’s too painful. Look at Gaza.

quiet, higgy

Now why would POTUS want to silence the workers at Voice of America?

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

(🚨) MAJOR NEWS: Trump Agrees to Release of the Epstein Files Let me just be the one millionth person to observe that this quite possibly means that he and his lawyers have already destroyed the portions of the Files they didn't want us to see. Hopefully they left accidental traces of this.

This is a pogrom. Damn media keeps calling it "immigration crackdown" It is not a crackdown. It is a pogrom.

Sit the fuck down and read this 🔥 thread here. Its in response to the article posted earlier about requiring everyone on SNAP to reapply. I am mad, @msmedicaid.bsky.social is mad, and you need to get mad, too. Call your reps at the federal AND state level. Demand action to protect the people.

He's gonna pardon himself, but you knew that already

May all my friends sleep lightly tonight and all my enemies heavily

#Republicans are all traitors. @adamkinzinger.substack.com it's time to bounce

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

@schumer.senate.gov you failed us
