Yeah, me too.
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.

And no one else does!
I hope that each and every Trump supporter and voter suffers the consequences of their own idiocy.

La Resistencia volunteers who observed the deportation flight informed us that 83 people boarded the plane to be transferred and/or deported. Someone using a guide/probing cane was seen being guided onboard the plane.

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years.
They are losers.
