It's settler colonialism.

The reason you can't see it is because of who wrote the propaganda you're still consuming

Marble Liberal @marbleliberal.bsky.social · 9h

No, they're separate cultures, speak separate languages, and historically were part of different empires. When Ukraine was conquered by Russia it was part of the RUSSIAN EMPIRE, not "Russia." What you're doing is like saying Scotland "is part of England" because they're both in the UK

But also they're implicitly saying that the Nova festival goers, like all "libs," had it coming.

What is with this leftist fascination of jerking Trump off while pretending they aren’t doing so?

And all it took was a brutal mass bombing campaign, the bombing of Qatar, and a mass starvation campaign to finally make the victims of the genocide capitulate!

For a historian, you're quite the credulous rube.

David Austin Walsh @davidaustinwalsh.bsky.social · 1d

Genuinely don’t think our political discourse is capable of talking about how Donald Trump—*Donald Trump*—just halted an ongoing genocide.

I have strong doubts that the 'ceasefire' will hold and lead to an actual peace deal, but it seems like, maybe, somehow, Trump kinda learned a lesson here...?

All states are fake, all nationalism forms by imagining your community and defining yourself by what you're against

Like fundamentally any solution that involves Israel vanishing is non-viable.

When that silver went east to Europe instead of West to China for the first time in history (spain was fighting three wars at the time) it eventually killed the Ming

rattatatouille @rattatatouille.bsky.social · 10h

Yep! Silver to China, goods to Europe and the New World via the Philippines, thanks to the galleon trade.

John @johnlk.bsky.social · 20h

The world economy of the 16th-17th centuries was basically a machine for moving silver from Mexico and Peru to China.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.
