Usamericans should be more anti-war actually. They should be straight up insulting marines and shutting down weapon factories, 60s anti-war protests kind of shit. I'm sorry for pontificating from down here but the US military-industrial complex is currently supplying a genocide, and this is not a new thing, the US has sold weapons to Saudi Arabia to starve millions of Yemenis, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, these are within memory. And though some people think it's not the point, it Is also true that there are trillions upon trillions of dollars that could be spent in anything else that go to the black hole of corruption (and call it for what it is, corruption) that is the Pentagon. Any of those resources could be destined to literally any other activity and be better spent.

I'm talking full contempt here. You should outright be HATING the military. Instead of lining up to watch Top Gun you should see it as a glorification of a fucking killing machine that serves imperial interests, enriches megacorporations and supports genocides. For the love of God be more angry about it. Goddamn.

For the record, Val was actually my Final Girl guess, because she had the most "fuck this" energy. I thought Emily was too intrigued by what was happening and would get distracted, and Betty as the person with personal investment would've made it in a scripted film but not when it came to chance. (The men were totally out not only on account of being men but their whole vibes were dead men walking.)

Honestly, impressed that I was fairly on the money even though I had NO idea what their actual deals were.

According to the New York Times, 1/5 of the Israeli hostages are dead.

Aka kidnapped and then murdered in captivity by Hamas.Each one of their deaths is a war crime.

If these people were kidnapped from anywhere else in the world, you would all be rioting and screaming for their release. Yet people here are silent when it comes to the Israeli hostages.

I guess the fact that the ICRC and UN have failed the Jewish people (yet) again doesn’t help…

-This is also a friendly reminder that According to the ICJ trial in Haag, Hamas has less than a month to *Bring them all home*

People are too harsh about people being "a cog in the machine", fellas multiple of those machines work very hard to help people and they need a lot of cogs or they stop running.

The answer is not to kick those cogs, it's to give those cogs some oil so they can work without breaking, and identifying if any of the machines is actually death lazer that would be better broken apart.

⚠️ ICE KIDNAPS FATHERS ON FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND ⚠️

Hi all, this weekend I witnessed violence and collusion committed by ICE and Tukwila PD. Even if you can't show up to immigration court in person, you can still take action. I've made a call/email script for you to send to Washington state reps as well as a more general message for reps in other states. Fuck ICE. FREE EDIPO, FREE MYNOR, FREE THEM ALL.

really needed this one 😭 the bill doesn't affect me directly but it does affect my friend, plus I really needed to hear that Republicans can stand up to weird unpopular garbage from on high

"The bill now heads to the governor's desk, and Kissinger said its overwhelming bipartisan support in both the Texas House and Senate could bode well for the measure.

"[We] would be pretty surprised if he didn't actually sign it," he said."

So about that Vanity Fair article… (RANT AHEAD)

Due to THAT Vanity Fair article and the comments made therein, I will now refuse to be a diehard fan of ANYONE (wrestler/entertainer, civilian, etc) anymore.

Shit's getting exhausting, frustrating and having to delete a fuckton of content from my blog is a time-consuming headache that i shouldn't need to do if certain ONE TRUE CHIEFS could read the fucking room. And quite frankly, I'm tired of and getting too old for nonstop disappointment being flung at me online and IRL.

And don’t try to tell me “oh WeLl yoU CAn STiLL suPPorT tHe cHaRacTeR” or “THOsE aRe HIs PersONaL ChOicEs” or god forbid “i DOnT sEe wHY iTs A bIg DEaL”.

Supporting the character is still giving the man behind it a platform - like VANITY FUCKING FAIR - to spew fucking nonsense to hundreds of thousands of people.

His “PersONaL ChOicEs” led to the reinstatement of the most (and I’m going to try and censor a few terms here bc i might get flagged for certain words. I know, I hate doing it too) räç1$ť, şëxǐsț, ħómò₱hobic, transphøbic, antişëmitíc, anti-intellectual, unqualified and grossly incompetent piece of orange oligarchy shitstain back into the highest position in the US government.

And that reinstatement led to one of, if not the most blatant display of corruption, greed and outright bǐgøtřÿ in recent world history.

I am so sick and tired of being told not to “get triggered” whenever shit like this happens because it someone else’s political views don’t affect me. But here’s the thing:

PERSONAL CHOICES CAN AND OFTEN DOES LEAD TO LARGER, MORE DRASTIC CONSEQUENCES.

This is literally the Butterfly effect in its purest form.

It's gonna take a while to completely scrub my blog of a certain piece of hypocritical scum, and I refuse to do so while l'm on vacation, but I'm glad I stopped watching WWE, and thus stopped reblogging content regarding the Big Bitch, back around 2019. Less shit for me to scrub from my blog.

i am happy with who i am but i am also deeply envious of my eight year old younger brother, who's always had a skill and interest in a thing that's very easy to make a career out of, so he just went straight into the specialized schools straight into a job... and i've kept flopping around like a fish on land with no idea what i'm going to do this whole time. maybe i'm just bitter that i HAVE a skill i'm passionate about and really good at, but there's basically no infrastructure for turning it into a decent, stable job. sighs

You know what? EVERYTHING was way better on tumblr and still is. And now we have Blue Sky anyways. I can’t stress the change in mood and clarity that has come to me since deleting the ‘toxic bird’ app from my phone and not checking it - especially in these trying times.

At this point all ‘the app’ does is show gloating imbeciles and rage-baiting losers and the people arguing with them… OR the despair that is encouraged by the algorithm system that feeds on misery.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t despair - the world is substantially worse off now. But we should at least give ourselves the space to surround ourselves with the things we love, the people that bring us joy and the environment that encourages us to thrive. That’s all we can do. That’s how we fight back - by surviving. As we did before the great migration to an awful space that actively use us as target practise for their botched humour and spite.

Just… delete the bird app man. Stop giving Elon money for his Ket habit. You’re funding all the things that actively work against you with looking at the ads and interacting with bots. I promise you that you will be happier.

Three illegal migrants with the vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua abducted a man and two kids in Texas — then executed the older victim and dumped his body on the side of the road, authorities say.

Carl Luis Zambrano-Bolivar, 26, Jhonata Nahin Toro Gonzalez, 22, and Ehiker Morales Mendoza, 38, were recently arrested for the murder of Nilzuly Enrique Arneaud-Petit, 33, who was found dead Aug. 24 with a single gunshot wound to the head in Farmers Branch just outside Dallas, DHS officials said.

While police were responding to a report of a body, they learned of two juveniles possibly related to the victim walking on a service road about 10 miles away, according to the Farmers Branch Police Department.

Investigators caught up with the minors and were told the kids and Arneaud-Petit had been “forcibly taken by several unknown suspects from an apartment complex” in Dallas earlier that night, police said.

The suspects drove Andreau-Petit and the juveniles to the location in Farmers Branch, where they fatally shot the 33-year-old man, police said. The kids told investigators the suspects then fled with them in a sedan before releasing them on the service road in nearby Lewisville. 

Andreau-Petit was an associate of the violent gangsters “and allegedly involved in a complex ATM theft operation targeting several locations nationwide,” police said.

He was accused of withholding money from other group members, which led to his kidnapping and execution, police said.

TdA members Zambrano-Bolivar and Toro Gonzalez were arrested in Aurora, Colo., in September by Denver’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations team, DHS officials said.

A third member of the feared prison gang, Mendoza, was busted Oct. 11 in Las Cruces, NM.

All three were in the country illegally, authorities said.

A fourth man also wanted in the murder, 29-year-old Jhonny Jesus Martinez Serrano, remains at large.

The three men in custody are expected to be extradited to Texas to be prosecuted on charges of capital murder and aggravated kidnapping, according to Homeland Security Investigations.

“Violent criminal organizations and transnational gangs like Tren de Aragua are a plague upon our communities that rely on fear and violence to [rain] terror on hardworking and law-abiding residents,” said HSI Dallas acting Special Agent in Charge Travis Pickard.

 “We have sent a resounding message that we are united in our efforts to dismantle these violent criminal networks and put an end to the lawlessness that they spread,” he added.

The violent gang has been terrorizing cities across the US.

In August, the ruthless group made national headlines when frightening video capturing some of its gun-wielding members storming through an Aurora apartment complex went viral.

The Post was the first to report on TdA’s infiltration of Aurora, its takeover of several poorly maintained apartment complexes and its top leader, nicknamed “Cookie,” who was involved in at least two violent crimes.

TdA also has been blamed for a surge in violent crime in such tourist meccas as Times Square in Manhattan.
