Why is a victim’s statement being posted on Twitter by the government? Why is the government using Twitter like it’s a legitimate platform?

I….did not realize they were NOT classified as wildlife. Of course they’re wildlife. You can certainly pen up elk and make profit off of them, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same as cows or chickens.

Edit: also, like, they’re native to this land as wildlife, while cows and other domestics were imported??

I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”

Oh, that’s super fun. I didn’t have poisonous rice on my End of the World bingo card.

This is why we need feminist activism: prevent men from chaining a woman’s ability to pay for food or housing to his access of her reproductive system (in the form of sex or literally reproducing).

Too bad conservative women don’t recognize that.

Ugh, you’re so right. I was hoping to find a silver lining and there isn’t one.

Stupid economy-destroying pissing game aside, I wonder if this bullshit will be a net positive for the environment. Fewer rare minerals mined, fewer gas/coal-sucking boats making the trip across the ocean full of single-use plastic products and fast fashion, etc.

Yeah, in the USA, religious beliefs are held in more importance than the right to access basic survival resources.

Yeah, and most non-Nazis have long left the platform and deleted their account. The log-in issue is a huge one. It effectively blocks a massive portion of the US from getting important information about money that is theirs.

Definitely. Things politicians say make a lot more sense when you realize that code speak.

It kind of always has been this way. “The people,” “Americans,” “White people,” etc have always been defined arbitrarily, and always in American history have referred to wealthy landowners who adhered to a puritan work ethic and a supposed “Anglo-Saxon” culture.

I don’t think “over educated” is the right word. I lean toward “poorly educated regarding history and the other humanities.”

Yeah, I don’t think the GDP is a great defining factor of economic emergency, in that words like “recession” have to be declared before the country treats the problem seriously. Assuming that growth is going to happen forever in a finite world is naive. And there are serious problems in the economy happening despite the GDP, like increasing poverty and lack of education or healthcare.

So like, my frustration is that “recession” has to be said before the government freaks out and attempts to fix things, but things are already really bad in ways that matter far more.

”…ending Biden’s dumb war on things that work.”

This is real language used in official White House communications.

It is the language of a second grader.

Yes. I suppose I should add this: modern-day, “average” Americans have been fed the false narrative of American greatness and equality of opportunity their entire lives. This particular concentration camp flies in the face of that narrative and is living, breathing proof that the USA is a violent, racist country obsessed with the “in group=humans” and “out-group=animals” ideology.

And the horrors of this camp and a bit of the cognitive dissonance between that false narrative and the reality of what is happening cause nausea.

This is uncanny.

The people who already live in the communities that New Founding is targeting already have their own vision for local life, and many of them are not thrilled about the idea of wealthy Christian nationalists moving in and taking over.

Ah. The colonizers are being colonized.

Colonialism has hurt itself in its confusion.

The link to the Panama concentration camp article is explicit and nauseating. Y’all, it’s a concentration camp, right down to the cages and lack of food and shelter.

The USA officially has concentration camps. And since Trump has revoked the visas of international college students and immigrants who came in legally under a policy set in motion by Biden, he is preparing to put anyone and everyone in those camps.

The only thing in my knowledge that has caused gun restriction laws to be placed on the books is Black men arming themselves en masse.

I work at a university and learned yesterday that the current administration has removed the legal status of at least three of our international students…without notifying the university or the student. Just up and deleted their visas.

The government made innocent, law-abiding college students illegal for no fucking reason and didn’t tell anyone. Why do that unless you’re planning to raid their home, kidnap 18-22 year olds, and spread terror?

They are doing this all across the country. I read a Higher Ed article about it. I’m sure no university has been left untouched. Thousands of innocent people threatened with ICE raids for no goddamned reason.

Deporting “illegals” my ass. This has never been about deporting undocumented people.

I can’t say if this is objectively better or worse than what Biden did, but I do know that this is outright evil.

If the economy crashes, people won’t be able to pay their loans, which I sincerely hope will fuck up a billionaire or two.
