At least it's mostly going to be Americans that he kills, and we voted for it.
He's going to kill so many people and we're powerless to stop it. One of the most vile humans currently wandering around this watery rock.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

And don't forget that George Washington himself committed treason. He was a militia Colonel and then led an armed rebellion against the government he had sworn to serve.
Minor point but George Washington didn’t even hang the Whiskey Rebellion conspirators after they were sentenced to death for actual treason.
The President’s call for the murder of Americans is simply un-American. When I say there is no place in our country for political violence, I mean it. It doesn’t matter who says it or why. There is no justification. Every American should condemn this in no uncertain terms.

The media doesn't treat the Trump regime's allegiances with neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes as antisemitism, but Zohran's belief in Palestinian liberation is treated as antisemitism.
It's completely backwards and insane. Zohran will protect American Jews; the fascists will target American Jews.

WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

When we got our first computer my little brother was better than me at video games. Then I worked out that I could write code on it.
A few years later I read @stevenlevy.bsky.social's Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution and I found a context for it all.

I guess expelling all of the Jewish people from the country is a way to combat antisemitism. Not one I'm in favour of - I'd miss my kids - but this is why I don't vote Republican.
Mike Pence wrote an opinion piece for Fox News. Reading the headline, I was like, "Okay, seems like a normal take."
Then I read the subheadline and... bro, what?

I find it comforting that at this time of increasingly brazen bigotry, that the American right hates the Clintons enough to make them refrain from using Epstein and Maxwell as an excuse to push more antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The crossing guard at my kids school is an older trans woman. I think she's only recently transitioned. I don't know her and really only just exchange greetings, but I love seeing her try on different looks as she's coming into her own.
