O Translated from Spanish Show original
US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters
Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.
We await explanations from the US government.

The bigger factor was turnout. Come on. This your first day thinking about elections? But yes, that's also the whole bigger point here. If you want to look at it through a partisan lens, Democrats have hit their ceiling with non-white voters. So taking them for granted was not wise.

NEW — Bill Nye, at "No Kings" in DC, on Gaza:
"There's something wrong when you have one country ruining, leveling another country…the whole thing just makes you furious."

"In the US, we had an agreement…we're going to leave religion out of our government. There's some value there, I think…"

Officials say they’ll soon be pumping mud instead of water. No worries — it’s locally sourced. 😉

Officials issue warning as key drinking water supply is on verge of drying up: 'We'll be pulling up mud'

Officials in Mathis, Texas, are worried they won't be able to pull clean water from the lake due to a drought.

What a fucking idiot!

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

Nope, not saying that at all, but go on...

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

That wasn't the assertion, it's just the system we have, and Trump won the popular vote so that doesn't help your assertion here. The point is just floating over your head waiting for you to look up i guess.

Narrow identity politics ignores the greater pyramid of modern exploitation. It comes off as a strange anti-Marxism, even if it's not. But this isn't anything personal.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

Then start a revolution or deal with it. It is the reality for now.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

Or you're just ignoring the problems you find it convenient to ignore. jfc what a circus.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

Nah, just search 'electoral college' and 'swing states' and ask your social studies teacher tomorrow morning if you're confused about anything

Well, you understand the misunderstanding.
How often does this line work for you with your fellow whites? Honestly curious.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

Oh? You can say that's just a distraction but when you factor in the crackdown on undocumented immigration and refugees and the international place the US consumer has in a global system of environmental destruction and exploitation, you see the traditional narrative gets glitchy.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

Is fascism not already your problem? How convenient...

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

If we're not going to recognize that, then we're just fucked.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

It's not about blame, it's about finding a way out of the obvious trap. It is mostly a white people problem, but not fundamentally, it's obviously a deeper problem than specific skin color allegiance and it's only circumstantial that it's expressed as a white people problem in our historical era.

Read the article, the whole damn thing, and me? i have that chance ever day, not sure what place of ignorance you think this is coming from but it's more like the opposite. Maybe you're all so distanced from reality that you can't get back.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

Why? This is an electoral math problem with this style of rhetoric, not even fundamentally disagreeing beyond saying that these problems go even deeper than is convenient. Why are you so mad at someone for pointing out such an obvious problem? Not defending the problem, please get that.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

So it's just purposeful denial? What math makes further alienating white people work electorally to get 60+ votes in the Senate? Not even saying the bigger argument is wrong here, just saying that it has to be made differently and would be helped by more accurate context, otherwise it helps fascism.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

You all must be enjoying this fascism. Guess i'll leave you to it.

The End of the World Party, PhD @endoftheworldparty.bsky.social · 1d

It's not philosophy it's literal basic electoral math jfc nevermind you gigabrains already know 🤦‍♂️🥳
