Australia should ditch AUKUS and join NATO.
I can't concisely capture the joy I feel knowing that the conservatives have locked themselves out of government for maybe a decade.

I just don’t get this because if Ireland seriously threatened to invade Malta and Maltese people started tweeting “fuck those paddy bastards I wish them a 2nd famine” my reaction would be “yeah fair enough, I’m so sorry” not “how rude, *I* voted for the SocDems 😤”
Poor little baby powerless Americans electing warmongering tyrants again and again. Wahh wahh the mean Euros are being snarky on twitter just because our country is threatened them with a little invasion wahh wahh. We’re the real victims here!

i mean. i didn't do anything wrong. i am under occupation by the same people threatening Greenland and Canada. nonetheless it is necessary to hurt me. the necessity does not make this just.
justice is something systems can grant to those within their jurisdiction, and i am outside it.

I am responsible for this because it is done in my name. I don’t get to claim to love my country if I also cannot accept that we are right now engaged in some extremely evil and vile acts.
We all have a moral responsibility to fight the evil upon us. But we also cannot ignore how we got here.

The US has defended other countries against foreign aggression. France in WW2, South Korea in the Korean War, West Germany throughout the Cold War, Kuwait in 1991, and the list goes on.
"Imperialism" is certainly debatable, but the US has not "seized another nation's land" since the 19th century!

The willful historical illiteracy among pundits about American imperialism is still shocking, no matter how predictable.

Replaying Mass Effect Andromeda and it's still a bunch of fun all these years later. It doesn't hold a candle to ME2, but it's it's own thing and deserves a bit of credit for trying something different (even if the the Kett and Collectors are doing something similar).

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

Bluesky posters will be like you “you think massive universal legal resistance with total support from the population works? that pales in comparison to my strategy, winning a shootout with an ICE army” and then not win a shootout with an ICE army
Oh my god theyre killing rosa luxemburg again lmao, your failure to engage in armed resistance is speedrunning you towards death camps
There’s no real debate. I have witnessed a very small number of ICE activists advocating for carrying firearms or even trying to agitate by physically striking ICE vehicles, etc. Let’s be clear: the incredibly vast majority of people resisting ICE correctly believe these people are fools.
