I saw an article that stated the #LosAngeles protests are growing. I found articles from Newsweek, Oregonian, Seattle Times, Boston Globe etc, all stating that these immigration protests are growing. TACO is out of his element. #BlueCrew #Democrats #TrueBlue #FuckTrump #Gverse #Resist #RedCrew

Social Security & Medicare are systems where workers & employers both contribute to fund future benefits for retirement, disability, & other needs of the employee. If Elon & Trump gut Social Security & Medicare we need our $ back!

In response to the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office meeting, there are hundreds of comments on Naver (biggest South Korean web portal) expressing concerns that something similar could happen to South Korea & calling for preparations including nuclear armament.

saving this image for the next time I have to explain to a naive writer who's read far too many old fantasy novels uncritically why they probably (i.e. *really*) don't want to be using the word "swarthy" the way they're somehow still using it in this year of our lord 2025

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect Him to be strong. Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought. Trump is the worst negotiator

For my Blackout Day activity I am staying off of the Meta platforms with a compiled list of posts to make tomorrow. I went to an announced protest in Ukiah, but nobody else showed up. I filled my tank last night at a native reservation gas station. What did you do?

I can only imagine what our allies must be thinking while watching this - especially South Korea - and it ain't good (to say the least)

There are opportunities in Syria for the US to play a constructive role, but this will require diplomatic & economic investments. While there is no guarantee of success, a failure to try will likely doom Syria to a dark future.

The legal framework holding these United States together is the constitution, ratified by each of the several states. Some ratified it when it was written and signed by their representatives, others in the process of becoming a state. 1/3

@macamergin.bsky.social

The constitution is a contract entered into by the states with each other. In a contractual relationship if one party abrogates the contract then the obligations of the other parties to that party become null and void. 2/3

@macamergin.bsky.social

Under the GOP control of all three branches of our government they are violating that contract. At some point that abrogation releases the states from the contract. I don't think we've reached that point yet, but I can see it approaching. 3/3

I’ve been macheteing blackberries all day, trying to answer 3 questions: Why shut down USAID and fold it into DoS? Why now? Who benefits? Full disclosure: I'm a consultant for USAID/DRG implementers. Consequently, I have time to machete blackberries and think dark thoughts. I’m unemployed. Long🧵 1/
