When I walk in to the panadería and get a grito of GÜEROOOO…. those are my people 🥴
what is wrong with this world??? sound off in the comments
This is extremely funny because the USA is currently giving the strongest argument there is for why we should, in fact, have an ICC. Almost as if the people making this ask are becoming extremely sweaty about the future.
The Japan Times@japantimes.co.jp · 3d agoThe United States wants Japan and other allies to end their support for the International Criminal Court, a U.S. Department of State spokesperson says.
Just finished a new member orientation, over 30 new faces 😎
"they can't" has and remains the wrong framing. they will try. it will be hamfisted. the question is whether they will be able salvage something from the chaos which, no matter how sloppy, is ultimately a victory for the lawless oligarchy they are working towards.
Editing the Blue-Gray Lady@nytdiff.bsky.social · 24h agoDemanding partner nations become viceroyalties and our own domestic media and opposition party will discuss it as a humorous scandal, intolerable.

don’t forget what DOGE did to the social security administration and the IRS for the purposes of voter fraud conspiracies and the neo-confederate surveillance state
im nicebart 👼🏼@nicebart.bsky.social · yesterdayIt makes me so mad specifically because despite the govt collecting a huge amount of data on us, it was all relatively siloed out and walled off by security access! SSA had 135 diff databases that didn’t all touch each other, IRS info was painfully slow (3-6 months) etc.
one of the *biggest* 2008 failurebankers & is the guy appointed to commissioner of SSA & the IRS too now somehow. Co-Chief COO, he was in the room when JPMorgan absorbed Bear Stearns with a $30 billion FR backstop. He watched the old system crack from the inside. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_B...

yep, i will note that the fugitive slave act was used to try to kidnap free blacks and sell them into slavery
Ansley Erickson@ansleyerickson.bsky.social · yesterdayBreaking my heart this morning: “Fitting ankle monitors on noncitizens without a criminal history who remain in compliance with their immigration cases has little precedent.” True in the narrowest sense. False given how the history of slavery and peonage roars through each part of this story.
Friendly reminder that a bunch of the 2008 financial crisis recovery nearly got railroaded by Republicans after the basic first steps Bernanke and Geithner took in their capacity as chairman and treasury secretary. I know nothing matters anymore but in a world where we get revenge, it matters.

Blood. Mostly by giving a lot of blood to the blood god.
Ernst W. Ruhmer@ruhmer.bsky.social · last yr.It does seem to be getting out of hand. How does a society reestablish the cultural taboo against lying out out of your ass?
horrors, fresh and raw red in tooth and claw
Raven Onthill@ravenonthill.bsky.social · yesterdayWhat are we going to awaken to?
how much longer must we suffer under the yoke of the ailing senile pedophile nazi king and his cabinet of scheming drug addict war criminal viziers
drinking five beers and realizing that all men are brothers
Did I tell you guys how I’ve become friends with a local lefty labor organizer radio host who is good friends with amy goodman. Anyway, I’ve been shadowing her radio show and will soon help do program planning but also she connected me with a local historian who researched the history of the klan.
Saint Louis was hit by tornadoes little over a year ago. The south side got FEMA funds and repairs. The north side did not. You are free to guess which side is majority black and which side is majority white.
Jjinandtonic@jjinandtonic.bsky.social · 2d agoGary, Indiana, similarly has been without power for iirc 10 days and FEMA aid is just arriving
One of the poorest counties in the nation, Wyandotte County, KS, is majority minority and was wrecked by storms this past week. People are still without power, kids are missing school, and there's an active community effort to ensure FEMA matching funds are actually acquired.
Benjamin McKean@blmckean.bsky.social · 2d agoIn retrospect, this makes it seem remarkable Bush took any hit at all for Hurricane Katrina. Trump routinely blows off disaster assistance and appears to pay no political price at all.
