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.

He served his country; now it's 'turning its back': Georgia veteran stuck in ICE detention after policy shift
Godfrey Wade is a wartime U.S. Army veteran who served overseas and received commendations upon his honorable discharge. Now he's set for deportation.
"...
Shortly after he arrived in the United States, Wade enlisted in the United States Army, 7th Infantry Division, beginning in Aschaffenburg, Germany. He earned commendations for good conduct and wartime service.
After his honorable discharge, he built a wide-ranging career and earned multiple college degrees. He's worked as a master tailor, fashion designer, tennis coach, and chef. He was working at the Georgia Capitol Café before he was detained.

Congress could legislate that any immigrant who served in the US military, and was honorably discharged or still serving, is automatically granted citizenship. They could do that. They just are instead choosing to let Trump’s nazis deport our veterans.
Anyway, enabling nazis is the same as being a nazi, for those fence straddling snotnoses amongst us.

Russia has welcomed US President Donald Trump's new National Security Strategy, calling it "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision.

Resale values of Teslas are in the depths for all kinds of reasons, but the central one -- apart from the taint of Musk -- is that the cars are ridiculously crappy and unreliable as they age. https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/old-teslas-falling-apart
Just one more reason to avoid this toxic brand at all costs.

If you feel "tired of the war," remember that Ukrainian kids spend their school days running to bomb shelters, losing sleep to nightly attacks, missing their parents, and learning to distinguish drones from missiles.
They carry a burden no child should - yet none of them would ever choose surrender over freedom.

NEW: The boat the Trump Admin blew up — killing 11 — wasn’t coming to America.
Adm. Bradley told lawmakers it was headed to Suriname.
Their entire justification just collapsed.

🎙️Reporter: What is your next step in the Russia-Ukraine talks after last week’s talks?
🇺🇸Trump: So, we’ve been talking to Putin and to Ukrainian leaders, including Zelensky.
And I have to say I’m a little disappointed that President Zelensky hasn’t read this proposal yet. That was a few hours ago.
His people love it, but he doesn’t. Russia is fine with it. Russia, you know, would probably rather have the whole country, if you think about it.

I'm going to tell my wife that you just gave me a peace prize for doomscrolling on the Fediverse, Chief.
And she thinks I'm just sitting on my ass and getting nothing done today.

People in marginalized groups were being abused, and moderators dismissed their concerns. They were told "find a different instance" or "just block them" putting the onus on the victims instead of the abusers. This is why they left for Bluesky.

RFK Jr.'s claim that COVID vaccines are deadly? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. In this new extraordinarily large study, vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and a 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to those who were unvaccinated. RFK Jr. is. liar and a fraud, as are Vinay Prasad and Tracy Hoeg at FDA who have made similar false claims about these vaccines. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2842305#note-ZOI251269-1

Remember when the government wasn’t attacking us every day?
