genuinely ashamed and embarrassed to be an American right now.

Zelinskyy did what he needed to do though. the whole world can see who Trump and Vance are. if the members of the Five Eyes didn't make provisions before, they must be cutting cables with axes right now.

I know the GOP doesn't care about misogyny and sexual assault, but the Tate brothers are pornographers. that's what they were doing in Romania, recruiting (some would say trafficking!!) cam girls to provide whack-off material to guys online. this isn't even alleged, they talk about it openly.

@Infoseepage H5N1 is not 100% lethal, very much less than that. what you are describing is possible but in the sense that it's possible for two people and a dog to all die from falling off ladders at the same time.

@Infoseepage the dog too??

fuck, Gene Hackman died, along with his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, and their dog. sounds like carbon monoxide. and https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/sheriff-gene-hackman-wife-found-dead-in-santa-fe-home-no-foul-play-suspected/article_2ea8855a-f4b8-11ef-b501-73232a2b5213.html

:dril:

here's a Bluski thread about some Spanish TikTok influencers who went to the US to post about how great the life and the salaries are and **spoiler** she gets cancer and the health care is so awful they decide to return to Spain. https://bsky.app/profile/davidpareja.com/post/3livzqry34c2z

welp. https://www.cryptopolitan.com/crypto-trader-kills-himself-on-x-live-to-create-a-meme-coin/

cool world we have here.

the replacement-level Democrats are sitting back hoping Trump/Musk self-destruct and then everything goes back to the way it was because proactively stopping them through mass mobilization means acknowledging that existing institutions have failed and we have to change the status quo.

people are saying.

oh my god Musk is on soooo many drugs. https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lindcsnmy42h

lol wtf is going on

imagine dying in the most horrific way possible in a place called The Nutty Putty Cave and 16 years later you're an international punchline.

what is happening in the US right now is not a "Trump" thing or even a "Musk" thing, it is the culmination of the US abandoning the rule of law after 9/11.

it's not **exclusively** that. you could probably argue it really started when Ford pardoned Nixon. but in my lifetime, i watched judge after judge after judge fold to executive power grabs. the executive tortured people with impunity, spied on American citizens, assassinated American citizens with drones, used the FBI to surveil and frame Muslims, and built and maintained an illegal detention center at Guantanamo Bay. all completely bipartisan.

lol nancy mace is wolfposting.

before we spend a whole ton of public money on carbon capture, we should try imprisoning all the billionaires, redistributing their assets, rewilding their land, and mothballing their super yachts. see if that does anything.

i guess one way to stop inflation is crash the economy and cause **de**flation.
