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.
#cosas mias#and yes I don't like my own military either before you ask#I like them just like that defunded and only there for humanitarian purposes if that#we learned a lot in Argentina about what happens when you let the military in power

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*

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
#im going to be fine im in watchmaker school ill figure something out#i just don't want to be a freelancer or break my body in the name of The Passion#my brother is into electronics and is workinh as an automatician#im genuinely very happy for him!!!!!#and ive met many cool old people who've had weird and meandering paths and im just gonna be one of them#also checked some Norwegian News and the ring wing party is like. wow we should defund art..look at this#the this: extremely kickass creature sculptures i want to visit in person so bad#frp: disgustening. art is bad and we should focus on funding SCIENCE#also frp: wants to defund science

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.
#conc talks#personal#shut up conc#I can’t help but feel that the destruction of tumblr and blog/spaces for mainstream social media was in congruence with right-leaning agenda#not conspiracy theorying but remember how 2016 tumblr got overrun by weirdos?#then they left and the hellsite was left a husk as everyone went to Twitter and became more miserable#or worse#it suits the rights needs to destroy safe spaces of people who oppose their views#I mean#tumblr was always full of irritating online chronics but like… we managed to ignore them at least because the vibes were always silly#meanwhile Twitter thrives on showing you awful shit#and it always did#especially when musk-rat took over#you defund them by not giving them attention#I’m from the UK so like… shut up me… but as a word of advice

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.

i keep getting anti-union mailers with prewritten statements for me to sign to opt out of my union dues (i.e. leave the union and not receive any protections) so i finally sent them an email telling them in polite terms to eat shit and die because i'm a far left socialist. realistically this probably won't do anything but sign me up for their email newsletter as well, but i can dream, and also it was cathartic
#ignore me#i asked them how i can get them to stop wasting their time and resources on me#and mentioned i want to defund the police bc that was a talking point on their website. that u should leave unions bc they hate cops#well guess what bitch so do i! stop sending me shit!

been avoiding the news all day and decided to check in what the results are looking like and...
like, literally every single aspect of this country has worsened under amlo (security, economy, feminicides, murders, health, corruption). people who decided to vote for his party's presidential candidate for 6 more years of this mess just live in a completely different reality. it's just honestly baffling.
here's to surviving another 6 fucking years i guess.
#junk#mexico#i'm not saying xochitl would have fixed the country but#how can you honestly look at this country's current state and think#oh yeah let me reward them with 6 more years of this disgusting mess#like...seriously fuck off#yeah sure getting our first woman president is historic in itself but#claudia is just not it#i hope hope hope i'm so dead wrong but ugh i'm sick just thinking about it#they've defunded so many social programs and any time corruption comes to light for something their party did#it's always just 'oh this is a conspiracy made up by the opposition!! they are the true enemies who want to see us fall!!'#mexico creo en ti :(

the political state of the world is really getting to me today. i need to go reread my college essays on power and control to get a hit of hope or else i'm gonna keep spiraling
#p#just saw screenshots of that article about young white median american voters#like cool. this world is so fucked#the fact that if you are american and live in a certain area you get to affect the fates of ppl all over the world#by electing rabid dog politicians who would bomb their own children if it meant keeping up u.s. hegemony#and yet americans are so dumb. they are so fucking stupid#through a combination of a decaying education system being purposefully strangled by right-wing policies and defunding#and reality-warping ubiquitous nationalist propaganda that is funneled through every conceivable channel to us#and people are dying and yet even their suffering goes unrecognized. somehow that's what's been bothering me#their deaths and their suffering go denied. they are reasoned away. they are dismissed.#it's so despicable. it's cruel enough to kill someone but to try erasing the memory of their death? when you killed them?

Love it when online leftists are like "I think we should be feeding more people into the bonecrusher machine", and then when someone is like "idk that doesn't sound good" they respond like "you idiot. OBVIOUSLY I mean we should be expanding access to orthopedic surgery, you obviously just hate the concept of universal healthcare because you're an idiot liberal who can't imagine anything outside of your dystopian worldview."
This is about the current "family abolition" discourse but also the "prison abolition" discourse and the "defund the police" discourse and every other kind of discourse that uses a snappy, controversial slogan to encompass an extremely complex political topic and then gets mad when less terminally-online people aren't able to correctly extrapolate an entire ideology out of that slogan.
#to be clear this has nothing to do with the CONTENT of the ideologies#it's explicitly the way certain people will use very online buzzwords and then get mad when people don't know what they mean#like when people got REALLY mad when people suggested that just yelling 'DEFUND THE POLICE' at your grandma#was probably not a great way to get her onboard#and that she'd probably actually agree with most of your ideas if you actually explained them instead of relying on the slogan#because that was 'watering down the movement' and 'giving in to neoliberal ideology'#of course that would require people to actually UNDERSTAND the ideology instead of repeating buzzwords they saw online so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The government of Canada did not see any evidence backing up Israel's claim that staff employed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) colluded with Hamas before suspending funding to the agency, CBC News has learned.
Government sources tell CBC that Israel still has not shared evidence with Canada to substantiate its claim that 12 employees of UNRWA were involved in some capacity in the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and the affiliated group Islamic Jihad.
(...)
Canada announced the suspension of all funding within hours of the U.S. announcement (x).
I don't know how many times I can keep saying that it's humiliating to be Canadian. Fucking disgusting.
#my fucking mp won't pick up the goddamn phone#i am about to get so annoying asshole you don't even know#free palestine#canadian politics#canadian#we literally just follow the us around like a sick puppy its EMBARASSING.#israel is like :)) this organization providing relief to the people we are committing genocide against is actually terrorists#we arent going to back this up but pretty please can you defund them so it's easier for us to massacre arabs :)) thank you xx#and every western power acquiesed immediately#spineless cowards
