I feel like the correct answer is "what is ice ice baby"

Hella thread. Thx for perspective.

Love this so much

#samesame almost word for word

having said that.there are very kind,gracious, men who are caught up unwittingly in Phil's snare.Some survivors have no social media presence. They have no idea what a groyper is.They did not know who Candace Owens is.What they do with that knowledge (as they gain it)is how they should be measured.

James - i would love to have a discussion with you and have reached out privately. Phil Tourney is disgracefully in his stewardship of hatred and vitriol. Full sentence.

one more. As a society,we know, vaguely, that military preys on kids from trauma backgrounds, poverty, etc. sends them 2 war in various forms, tells them they can't talk about what they saw, and sends them back into society. i think maybe that is not working.USS Liberty, the oldest survivor of this.

probably super important to say -not a neo-nazi and my liberal creds hopefully speak for themselves🥰 it has been interesting to try and have an open convo about the Liberty - i literally have to start with "hi i am jamie and i am not a neo-nazi. i identify as a bluesky user...."

4. there are things our government are doing now that are spooky aligned with the survivors stories whether its hegseth "no survivors" or greta thurnberg recent sailing adventures.... do we care about war crimes? how angry are we willing to get? how vocal are we wiling to get?

3. data on both sides of the USS Liberty is interesting and arguably there are pieces that don't add up for both "sides." if we can't have an honest, open conversation about govt relations from 60 years ago.... how can we do that now? and we desperately need to do that now.

2. b/c normal non/neo-nazi people are not interested, and neo-nazi's listen, hijack story for their own agenda - which is hatred filled and awful- it serves as fuel. I spend time reflecting on how I can listen and to whom. can kind listening offset hate? post-genocide rwanda a good example.

i think there are a few. 1. awareness of how soldiers are treated and perceived by society when they return from war. For example, survivors of USS Liberty have been under gag order for all of these years which has disallowed healing. that is relevant to a lot of our soldiers.

what is absolutely infuriating is the unappreciated derivative impact of this BS. my kids were in lockdown that went sideways b/c it was in between classes. so many kids had PTSD from the intercom that school had to run desensitization programing to fucking normalize regular school announcements.

Having recently traveled for 9 hours next to someone who clearly had worked out and not showered after....I am "oh hell no" vote on pull ups and step ups at the airport.

Our response, as a society, to the invasion of Venezuela is very much a "test the waters" by the administration for Greenland. Beyond horrifying #Venezuela #hegseth #war #honduras #Greenland.

A ball tied to a string. Throw. Retrieve. Throw
Retrieve. A bag full of miniature animals. Pull them out one at a time. Also. No ice cream before a flight...hypothetically husband gave our two kids ice cream as we stepped onto a long haul. A disaster we still talk about 15 years later.

We're focused on wrong thing. Its not "how many" its "the how." Obama deported @ nearly same rate as trump(400000/year). Don't get me wrong, I loathe shapiro. The shocking thing tho is not that admin is deporting in high numbers its the cruelty, illegality, &fascist manner in which they r doing it.

Orrrr hear me out. Try search and rescue training. Same thing and maybe save a life or 2

I do love that at least one dementia patient is being well cared for. I wouldn't necessarily have picked that particular elder but change starts one person at a time.

i am so over individuals who accept their own marginalization as a cost of doing business so that they can argue for the oppression of others and utilize their perceived self-martyrdom as a justifiable grounds for doing so. said differently: fuck bari weiss.

does this mean we are war with chicago? sad. i like chicago.

I totally am. Nothing more that I would like to be able to do than that. .🤣🤣😭

I can see clearly now the rain is gone......

I am going to be so pissed if I have to memorize a new ss number. I am too lazy to memorize my kid's phone number.

Yellowcard that shit. Its like clicker training for old white guy behavior..... @ayellowcard.bsky.social
