Violence and punishment are promised by this government, rather than actual governance and support. No defensible government should ever turn its fangs and claws towards it's citizenry, and every instance of this violence should be challenged.

The lesson:
It is slow, banal, and easy to acclimate to the violence of this current American regime. Be weary of how much violence you gradually accept by being desensitized to "small, isolated incidents", individual arrests, raids, etc..

If you don't know, the idea is that if you want to kill a frog in boiling water, you should not drop the frog in boiling water because it will jump out reflexively. However, if you put the frog is tepid water, the bring it to a boil, it will remain there unto its death

Hello Bluesky,
Long time no skeet. Had a few recent life changes, and some health struggles, but I'm looking to get back into the conversation.
With that said, Lawdamercy, the world's been through a LOT in the short time in which I've had to step back!

US ally Israel's tanks fired at hundreds of unarmed civilians lined up for food from aid trucks in Gaza, they massacred least 59 people and injuring at least 200 more. Hundreds have been killed trying to get aid in past three weeks.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

For this reason alone, if you in the United States do not want "kings", or oligarchs, you need to be as concerned with the success of Pan-Africanist movements. You *can not* be free unless they succeed

In short, what the pro-democracy, pro-populist efforts we are witnessing are trying to prevent in the US is its own self-colonization (snake eating its own tail). Africans have seen all of this before, have long since had enough, and are finally able to back leadership that understands that.
