Gen Z, Alysa Liu, wins gold πŸ… for USA with a happy-go-lucky performance.

Somehow she tunes out the world burning. Isn't bothered by being on the most competitive stage in the world.

Simply loses herself in her love 🀍 of skating.

FLOW. ⛸️

Yet another example that the Israeli government has no concern for international law - or morality - when persecuting Palestinians.

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.

even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

Trump created something they call:

"BABY JAIL"

There are hundreds of preschoolers, toddlers & babies in this "BABY JAIL!"
HUNDREDS!

And it's all being paid for on your dime, with your taxpayer dollars & being done in your name!

Imagine the trauma, the harm, the abuse!

BABY JAIL!

The more we learn about the attack on Marimar Martinez, the worse it gets: Greg Bovino actually THANKED the agent who shot a U.S. citizen five times.

This agency is rotten from top to bottom and should absolutely be held accountable.

When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

A few suggestions...

There is apparently no end to the evils the United States has helped Israel inflict upon Gaza.

I cannot be bothered to read or listen to AI slop!

Commenting "ai;dr" means β€œAI; didn’t read”. It is to inform low-quality shitposters that their lame, low-effort β€œAI” post will not be read.

β€œtl;dr" is internet speak for β€œtoo long; didn’t read”.

The depravity of Trump and the ultra-wealthy need to be exposed. They need to be held accountable for the rape and sex-trafficking of young children.

One of the best arguments I have ever seen to study history. It's not about memorizing dates, it's about learning of the past, to understand the present and make a better future.

Humanities matter if you care about humanity.

US Concentration Camp List

A list concentration camps by state has been outlined here. They also offer information relating to the for-profit institutions being used by DHS for purposes of holding individuals they have opted to detain - for whatever reason(s).

Even now (Feb 1)? After everything? After the starvation, and the wanton killing of civilians, and the targeted killing of health care workers and journalists, and all the other evils? Obviously he has one set of rules for Israel, and a different set for every other nation. It’s reprehensible.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

β€œAs grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

A thorough assessment by a former urban warfare commander reaches the same conclusion as many: Israel made no real effort to limit civilian casualties in Gaza (and still doesn’t).

Settler pogroms ran out the last 2 of (once) 120 Bedouin families in Ras Ein al-Auja in the Jordan valley.

The settlers graffiti'd the horrifying "Third Nakba 2026" on abandoned structures.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
