They call themselves the Lhotshampa, they are Bhutanโ€™s Nepali ethnic minority, and their story is one of the wildest things I learned from @astra.bsky.socialโ€™s book on democracy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lhotsha...

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Food is great. It
Unites us as a
Country of diverse tastes.
Kind of a true equalizing force

Isn't it neat to
Come together
Enjoying our memories?

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate โ€” overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social visited Liam and his dad today at the Texas ICE facility.

He shared this photo on social media that shows Liam either sleeping or lying weakly in his fatherโ€™s arms.
