im not censoring shit this is literally the most en masse mask-off yanqui event ever seen. you people are SLAVERING to be racist and genocidal against latin americans, as if attempting to ethnically cleanse us from your borders isn't enough. 'oh it's just a joke' THAT ISN'T FUNNY, YANQUI.
I already blocked the acc bc I refuse to engage w shit like that, but laura is fully right: I need left-wing "progressive" ppl to stop for a minute and listen to what's really being said about argentina. for like. a minute. we're being painted as savages for a fucking reason.

now that the world cup is over can we talk about how many americans, whose government was responsible for destabilizing our country to get us to the point of milei, are falling for an alleged israel-funded hate campaign against argentina
Pro-Palestine Argentinians are facing suppression and state violence under a fascist government following the Trump playbook. @nacla-report.bsky.social nacla.org/tortured-by-...
Tortured by Israel, Abandoned by Argentina
As the country’s far-right Zionist president seeks to deepen ties with Israel, Argentine activists in solidarity with Palestine have been left to pay the price.

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:
If you're following me in hellsite, sorry not sorry for all the rts trying to educate against the Argentina hate campaign. I'm so scared people are falling so easily for it. We just got our nuclear power plant handed to an Israeli company. Like, we are being actively ransacked during the WC.
watching authors you liked being openly xenophobic about your country is weird lmao
His name is Peter and he works at the Old Florida Book Shop in Dania Beach, Florida. He loves reading Shakespeare.
NEW: A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.
Man dies during immigration encounter in Florida, the third ICE-involved death in a week
Third ICE-involved death in a week confirmed after fatal St. Augustine crash during joint agency operation. National outrage grows over enforcement and deaths

So how long before the statement is released that says this person tried to attack the agents with their car. Then once out of the car he tried to take one of their guns or had a knife or some other fake shit. Murders are freely roaming our streets with full authority of our government.

"Your horror has been stolen from you" really defines the conditions we're in
unraveled@unraveledpress.com · 3w agoYou can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.
Curious to hear Mitch McConnell's comments on the passing of Lindsey Graham.
“In the stuffy, standing-room-only union hall, the vigil to honor Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the Houston man killed by ICE this week, was ending… [Ronaldo Salgado is] a teacher at Eastwood Academy, in the neighborhood where he grew up, and he’s proud to teach kids who are like the kid he used to be…”
A message for America from the sons of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo
Their father was killed by federal agents. They still believe in America, writes Lisa Gray.

a lot of you gringos are a little too eager about the argentina hate that’s all i’ll say
kinda spitballing here, but I do feel like being the sort of guy who loves being a marine and killing people and who gets nazi tats because he thinks they're badass probably is comorbid with being the sort of guy who does nasty things to women, and that denying this association don't make sense
you know i’ve always assumed i can’t run for office because of my highly visible sex work but now i want to see if certain people would come to my defense the way they’ve come to platner’s

Can I just say how fucking wild it is that a man travelled to Montreal, booked a hotel room across from the Pornhub offices, fired BULLETS INTO THE WINDOWS OF PORNHUB, killed two bystanders and the Guardian does not mention Pornhub or WHY HE WAS THERE. Even as they warn against "copycat attacks."

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

Mamdani calls for Platner to drop out

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
