I'm on upscrolled too, the character limit is amazing there so I'll be writing more in length, unfortunately for everyone.
Over there I'll try to focus on serious stuff because the world is on fire, my country is on fire, and I need to scream about it.

Minneapolis' Community-Driven Anti-ICE Organizing Is Showing The Way What Minneapolis activists have to teach us about organizing communities to resist ICE

ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.

Sign on door prohibiting immigration enforcement on private property

Shelf filled with goggles and whistles

This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Dictatorships and their violence on people mark nations for generations. My country's last dictatorship ended before I was born and even I carry that open wound.
US folks make no mistake, it's your turn.
Make community, learn countersurveillance, and take care.
You're already having desaparecidos.

To the stress and anguish of living in an unpredictable region we now have to add the stress and anguish of being the stage for ww3 and I was sure I'd be long gone by the time we got the water wars but now I'm not so sure.

Drawn meme of parent with two children that usually reads "get away from my children, you sicko", but the children have been replaced by photos of natural sources of water and the text reads "get away from my aquifers, you sicko" in Spanish

"Today they come for oil.
Tomorrow they'll come for water."

The USA is now saying Colombia is next, México is next, Cuba, Nicaragua...not even Greenland north of Canada is safe. Not even Europe is safe.

Latinamericans always knew, we even have memes..

WE KNOW, YOU SHOULD KNOW TOO.

I confess, at this point,
I have lost track
of how many times
the world as I knew it
has ended.

Estoy muy molesta, muy enojada y muy asqueada. Soy siempre paz y amor con todos los pueblos pero si hay gente que se esmera tanto en ser odiada quién soy yo para negarles el gusto 🙃

Me mué, la creatividad! Ya lo agendo

I am tired of Earth. These people.

The only miniscule comfort right now is knowing they're doing all this because they're on their way out.
We can not and will not endure decades of occupation and war imposed on our lands by these fuckers.

4) threatening to go after Mexico and Colombia next still using the narcoterrorism excuse that is A LIE (see 1) 5) threatening the whole of Latin America as Hegseth just said they can "extend their will anywhere at any time".

Whoever thinks this is good, go fucking DIE.

Not even 24 hours after bombing Venezuela Trump is already 1) admitting he did it for the oil, 2) claiming the USA will rule Venezuela (presumably until they find a suitable cute puppet to do it for them), 3) that he'll hand over Venezuela's resources (OIL) to USA-based oil companies +

Monroe doctrine, Operation Condor, START READING RIGHT NOW.
Y'all weren't taught this at school. Pick up a map, learn where we are, learn what the USA has done to all of us historically abusing us and playing with our lives, preying on our resources, circling over our heads like vultures.
LEARN.

Donald Trump's press conference now is terrible. He's practically threatening all of Latin America: either you do what I want or I attack you. He thinks of himself as the owner of our countries, if our resources. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Donald Trump is basically saying Latin America is theirs. That anything we may do for our own destiny must be under the condition that it's convenient to them, that he can choose to stop it by blood and fire. It's not "democracy" nor "freedom", it's imperialism.

The future of Latin America is being discussed in English..

Trump proclaimed himself as emperor of Latin America, with the right to decide who rules and how, and in Venezuela's case with the express objective of taking their oil for himself. An intolerable inherence.

Sharing some tweets in Spanish about what's happening in Venezuela, check alt text for an english translation.
I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm worried sick. This is a violation of ALL the Latin American people, unsurprising that it's coming from a rapist.

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

Screenshots from Andor when the Gorman councilman told Mon Mothma, “They don’t even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that’s the final humiliation.”

Be certain, when the USA falls the world will cheer. And wherever you go in exile to save your own skin you'll have to face the same judgment: why should we care when you never did. I'm sorry for the good ones, but the damage's too bad and deep now, I'm running out of sympathy.
We all are.

I am angry, viscerally, I know common people are victims too, but there must have been a point when y'all had to stop, stand up and put an end to evil ways AND YOU DIDN'T DO SHIT. Because it wasn't being done to you, you let it slide.
Over and over and over and over again.

It's 300 million of you, armed to the teeth because of your 2nd precisely for violations like this, and you do absolutely NOTHING.
Cattle has more dignity than this, at least they have an excuse to not know they're going to the slaughter.
You? You know it, and don't stop it.

I hold you responsible for your votes, your willful ignorance, for your entitlement and delusions, your military industry, your lobbies, your corruption and vile businesses.
I hold you all responsible for never standing up in full not even for your own lives.

So the USA is always ready, eager to grab what isn't theirs by any means necessary or destroy everything if they can't have it.
And OUR peoples always suffer for it.
And we're sick of it.

The USA has actively, both overtly and covertly at times, attempted to prevent a regional union. Every intervention and manipulation designed to keep us poorer, weaker, vulnerable, ready for the taking.
Our sovereignty and freedom coupled with our resources is perceived as a threat to their hegemony

I'm not Venezuelan but they're family.
That's the thing with this part of the world, we're ALL family. I don't know of any other part of the world where so many different sovereign nations with their own differences and domestic issues can stand as one.
Only obstacle has always been USA/imperialism

You don't have a representative government unless you're corpo. If you're just people the government isn't working for you or in your best interest. What y'all seeing today the world's been seeing for decades and screaming about to the four winds and every time met with indifference or disbelief.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

The USA has always been the bad guys. You just so happen to have someone in power now who doesn't care to pretend otherwise.

#Argentina, cada vez menos #República y peor #democracia

"Reformar más de 40 artículos de la Ley de Inteligencia por DNU, sin debate y a escondidas, no es democracia.
Este decreto crea un estado policial permanente, habilita tareas de espionaje sin control judicial y criminaliza la protesta.
⤵️

#Argentina

🚨 DNU 941/2025
Nada bueno surge de este decreto para la ciudadanía. El gobierno amplía de forma grave y peligrosa las facultades de la SIDE, debilitando derechos, controles y garantías democráticas.

🧵👇🏽

I'll be more present and vocal over at the other place, if anyone cares.
This fucking shitstain on Earth won't stop and idk who's gonna stop them.
And while this happens, my country is unfortunately going through one of its cycles and a traitor sits as president, I worry for us all.
