I've been thinking about decolonizing the language we use. This essay by @msaraceni.bsky.social is such a helpful read for exploring these ideas: aeon.co/essays/how-d...
How do you decolonise the English language? | Aeon Essays
Is Earth’s most-spoken language a living ‘gift’ or a many-headed ‘monster’? Both views distract us from the real dilemma

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Fuck every single soldier that is like, “I fought in a war zone, ICE is bad!”
Combat troops have a hell of a lot more blood on their hands than ICE or cops. They are all part of a system of a mass violence that hunts and murders. Fuck ICE, fuck the police & fuck the US military

Dictator Trump is responsible for the Jan., ordered mass murders of boaters, threatened to destroy an entire country, bragged he could shoot someone and not lose voters, and is suppressing and killing immigrants and U.S. citizens alike. I think it's safe to say "peace" has never been on his mind.

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

ICE is terrorism. Pure and simple.
TAPPER: You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist." Why did you not wait for an investigation?
NOEM: Everything I've said has been proven to be factual and the truth. This administration wants to operate in transparency.
T: What you said is not what happened
N: It absolutely is what happened

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Amazing to me that Donald Trump has not been asked once to comment on this insanely Neo-Nazi post from his Homeland Security department, nor asked who are the 50 to 60 *million* US citizens that his DHS say they want to ‘deport.’

It's really tough to decide which one of these two individuals is more disgusting.
President Donald Trump said he will meet with Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado next week — and that he would accept the award she has said she wants to share with him.
Trump says he will meet Machado — and would accept Nobel Peace Prize from her
Speaking to Fox News, Trump said it “would be a great honor” if the Venezuelan opposition leader decided to share her Nobel Peace Prize with him.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

If the next Democratic president doesn’t abolish ICE then the Dems deserve to lose forever
Exclusive: ICE officials plan to spend $100 million to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted ad campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy to hire thousands of officers, according to an internal document.

Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."
