Trump is on the verge of ending the longest period of peace in the world since the end of then Roman Empire. Better still—there’s no goal!
Republicans own this. They must be prosecuted.
ICE attack teachers, carers, cab drivers, supermarket staff and even nurses, people who keep the economy going and provide huge value to society
On the other hand ICE provide no value to society with their work actively making the world a worse place
Being an ICE agent really is the ultimate bullshit job.

Russia has violated all its agreements with NATO, so allies do not need to honor them either – Canadian expert
Given #Russia's blatant violation of the #NATO-Russia Founding Act, allies are no longer obliged to comply with it.

Ford already had plenty to be ashamed of. Now they’re punishing a worker for speaking against Trump.
“A Ford factory plant worker who called Donald Trump a ‘pedophile protector’ has said he has ‘no regrets’ about using the words.”
“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity.”

Dear fellow Healthcare workers in hospitals:
If you don’t know (*absolutely, clearly, KNOW*) what your hospital’s policy is with respect to ICE wandering the halls, ASK now. Find out.
My health system has us redirect ICE to non-patient waiting areas, call security and admin, and not disclose anything about patients.
"And very few of them will ever take note of how or why they moved from weeks of solemn pronouncements about the wrongness of calling a group of people deplorables to indifference to the wrongness of a daily torrent of vile abuse directed at the majority of the country."
"That working reveals how many of them have no deep values or beliefs that anchor them to some basic propositions on right and wrong, good and bad, generative and destructive": this is the heart of it.
I want to be clear that I'm not calling anyone here on the fedi out, I am subtweeting another social circle... but I definitely need to hear a lot less about literally anything Candice Owens said was news, a fact, or a bombshell. Like literally anything. Please do not make this woman the new Alex Jones, where everyone is like "oh of course I know she's full of shit" but then is also wondering if "some of this is true." We did not need the first Alex Jones. Donate to Unicorn Riot and Pro Publica.

@cy @GhostOnTheHalfShell @molly0xfff @isaackuo It's odd to see a government, even one run by scammers, promoting crypto. They already control the "legitimate" financial system, and can abuse it any way they like. I'm not even claiming that regulations are always good, just that once there are no regulations, you get scamsville.
This article on debanking (from a Trotskyist site?!) gives some examples of how anybody can be kicked out of the financial system on a whim:
"Federal Judges Uphold California’s New Congressional Maps."
They "sided with Gov. Gavin Newsom in a decision that will help Democrats counter Republican gerrymandering in Texas":

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
