@Beachbum You minced your own words. We were taking them at face value. @TonyStark
@liferstate Heh. How many of us do? @TonyStark @Beachbum
@Beachbum Mean what you say, and say what you mean. Especially in a written medium. @TonyStark
@Beachbum If you truly don't wish it to be about religion, then just use nationalities, and stop using a religion. @TonyStark
@TonyStark I think he's just confused. At least I hope that's all it is. @Beachbum
@Beachbum Yes. Americans voted for the US dictator. Israelis voted for the Israeli dictator. See my last post. Don't confuse Israelis and Jews. One is a nationality. @TonyStark
@digyoursoul You're half right. He's certainly a tool.
@Beachbum Jews =/= Israelis and Israelis =/= Jews. @TonyStark

You cannot ethically write a paragraph that says "Trump claimed Monday that a genocide was taking place in South Africa" without immediately contextualizing it as a damnable, racist lie from a delusional demagogue. And yet WaPo did. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/05/12/afrikaner-refugees-arrive-dulles-trump/

Just a thought: Instead of white Afrikaners from South Africa, how about we fly American kidnapping victims from El Salvador back first?

Fareed Zakaria: "#ElonMusk choosing, thru #DOGE, to cut #USAID is a case of the world's richest man being involved in the deaths of the world's worse [off] people."
Bill Gates: "If you show up and say in a few months you can cut $2 trillion out of a $7 trillion budget, you're not going to succeed... He's a genius in some domains but in global health, it hasn't been a focus."
Can we start a pool on what disease(s) he'll pick up there? Hopefully something non-lethal, but extremely painful and long-lasting. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/114495800775231103

#Trump has halted virtually all #refugee admissions for people fleeing #famine & #war from places like #Sudan & the Democratic Republic of #Congo. But he has created an expedited path into the country for #Afrikaners, a #white ethnic minority that created & led the brutal #apartheid regime in #SouthAfrica.
The refugee process often takes years. But only 3 months have passed from the time Trump signed an EO establishing refugee status for Afrikaners….

Zelenskyy constantly pulling these Uno reverse cards is a pretty good strategy against Putin.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

Gov. Abbott supports a bill in Texas that is being hyped as a "furries" bill.
When you read it, it's a draconian ban on a common form of children's play: dressing up.
But really, the goal here is to stoke anti-LGBTQ hysteria.

@mimarek I'm sure they'll make up for their treatment of Afghanis by treating the incoming group of South Africans like kings. /sarcasm
@BrianHarrod No wonder my brother and sister-in-law decided not to fly to visit us in July and drive instead.
