My parents firmly and unequivocally believe that the shutdown was caused by democrats insisting on free healthcare for illegal immigrants. “If it wasn’t on fox news it isn’t true”

But tho wasn’t personally killed

Tho wasn’t literally killed under Kissinger’s orders. Obama’s Air Force literally killed MSF members on purpose

Obama also-the only Nobel Peace Laureate to later bomb a different Nobel Peace Laureate.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Counterpoint: the president is a pedophile who, entirely orthogonally, is incompetent at running a government and cruel toward people with brown skin.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

“Life Lessons,” Scorsese’s short film with Nick nolte about an artist realizing his best work comes from the pain of failed relationships, might have been something helpful for Taylor Swift to have watched

Usually it comes along with murder rape and intimidation but yeah at basic levels the entire raison d’etre of ICE is ethnic cleansing

Between this, the epstein list, obsession with trans kids playing sports, & neverending conspiracy theories about what's going on in schoolsin general, you realize that the primary concern of the Republican party and its supporters is their deep desire to abuse children

The inhumanity is accelerating.

There are multiple reports of ICE agents laughing as kids scream and cry, and one in this raid saying literally “fuck them kids.”

Anjali Enjeti @anjalienjeti.bsky.social · 9d

My god.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Oh and if you’re curious: yes I just realised it’s the 7th day of blackout on a nuclear plant in Ukrsine but on territory occupied by Russia , and that while Russia - most likely - doesn’t want a nuclear disaster near their territory Putin could be mad enough to not care so yes I am having a beer

“Am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening?”

What a remarkable statement from the single most powerful individual in the world. Fascinating look into a person’s mind.
