I didn’t catch that, but I’m sorry it happened. Yep, people, as opposed to persons, suck. Myself I block and move on. Hang in mate.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 22h

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Pretty much everything you get in western media is extremely inaccurate (mostly intentionally) in re Venezuela. She's a product of the oligarchy that used to run Venezuela and still owns most of it. She's actually likely worse for ordinary Venezuelans than Maduro and that's saying something.

The gushing drivel being posted and published inre the Nobel Peace Prize award for María Corina Machado is vomit inducing. Here’s the razor; any mainstream US or European media opinion about Venezuelan politics is bullshite. This good guy bad guy dichotomy is so depressingly infantile

Yep, she has very close ties, both financially and historically to the US Republican party… you know those guys who are luminaries of free speech and democracy 😆 FFS do some reading on the last 30yrs of history in Venezuela. Otherwise you’re as ignorant as trumpanzees who think he’s one of them.

I like to think he’s somewhere cosmic hanging out with Negro Matapacos surrounded by chewy bones and soft couches while getting endless scritches.

Anarcho-communist please, no states, no tyranny of the proletariat . I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that North American First Nations people were incredible at creating stateless anarchist ways of existence - precious wisdom the world needs right now.

Interesting take, one I was ignorant of. Have to do some reading and digging now.

Brett Groves @kurthectic.bsky.social · 5d

He's a historian of fascism and an author of a number of books who has been identified by the far right as Antifa and subsequently harassed and threatened to the point of leaving the US for the sake of the safety of his family. HTH.

Yeah I think it was supposedly in the name of “balance” . A bit like having a conference on human rights and inviting a serial killer to balance the perspectives. Outrageous and craven action, yes, Hedges is absolutely problematic, but this is farcical.
