Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and a fascist megalomaniac psychopath. He needs to be tried in The Hague. And the next president needs to enroll the USA in the ICC.

I truly abhor the glorification of violence and the death penalty. I also abhor extrajudicial violence, so this is NOT a call for violence. But Pete Hegseth needs to be tried for war crimes, and HIS is an execution I would watch. This is disgusting beyond belief.

Just a quick reminder to @disneyinfo.bsky.social of what happened last time you took Kimmel off the air because the tyrant demanded it. The emperor's rule is crumbling fast, don't risk your reputation by bowing to tyranny.

Well, guess that really seals the deal, now Trump really has to get that Nobel peace prize next year, right? My heart goes out to all the people in #Venezuela who already have a hard enough time trying to live their lives in peace without the invasion of a madman...

You should withdraw all support from the traitors that caved. Unless of course, as the popular theory goes, this octet of senators not up for a vote next year, was engineered by you. And if not… show some goddamn leadership in whipping your caucus! Resign, Chuck. Just go.

Clearly you won’t. These 8 traitors have abandoned the American people. The GOP does not give a shit about the people, and you have just lost the last bit of leverage you had. If only you would have used that leverage last time…

Tonight was a very bad, horrible, no good night. The people told Democrats last week what they wanted, and these 8 people decided to give the GOP all they wanted with nothing in return; not even guarantees that funds will actually be spent as appropriated, which they haven’t done in the past…

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

This is insane. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Honestly, I love Facebook's ad break feature. Basically after scrolling for one post, it interrupts me for five seconds to force me to look at an ad, which is just long enough to realize I hate that app and should not be wasting any time there. Thank you Facebook!

Florida has also blacklisted several European institutions, including 3 Belgian universities, as retaliation for their boycott of the genocidal Israeli regime.

The State of Florida has now blacklisted several European institutions, including 3 Belgian universities, as retaliation for boycotting the genocidal regime in Israel. The relentless blackmailing from American state actors to dissuade others from upholding moral values is preposterous and must end.

If they think that’s jokeworthy, they clearly have a very warped sense of what comedy is. Which would explain why they want to cancel all the late night hosts... It also explains why Vance is so cool with the Young Republican 'jokes'...

Another extrajudicial murder has been committed in international waters by US troops under the command of Donald J. Trump and Pete Hegseth, when they attacked a vessel with 6 souls on board without due process in clear violation of international law. These are crimes against humanity.

I would not like to be the one paying the White House's ketchup bill today.
An AI generated image of Donald Trump sitting in the Oval Office, with the facial expression of a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. The walls and golden ornaments are covered with ketchup, and two empty bottles of ketchup are on the resolute desk.

Wow, that speech on how Ms. Machado was selected for the Nobel peace prize was amazing. This was not merely a Trump snub; this was the committee making clear they have awarded the prize to the anti-Trump, someone whose values are diametrically opposite of his worst authoritarian tendencies. Bravo.

I would be absolutely unsurprised... The real award the man deserves is to be dragged before the ICC for his war crimes.

My sincerest condolences to the Norwegian and Venezuelan people, who are likely to feel swift and immediate economic sanctions or even military reprisals by noted Nobel Peace prize nominee Donald Trump.

www.euronews.com/culture/2025... Clearly, Merz doesn't want to repeat his country's historic error toward the Jewish people. So he repeats his country's historic mistake of siding with genocide. Not every Jew is Israeli. But every genocide is genocide.

Absolutely not. I spoke out against the treatment of Gazans long before October 7th, and I think I abundantly make clear my sympathy for the plight of a people oppressed in an open air prison because of a group that rose to power before half of them were even born, let alone of voting age.

betheb86.bsky.social @betheb86.bsky.social · 07/10/2025
If you've read the entire thread, you know I agree. But that still shouldn't excuse the slaughter of civilians, who shouldn't have to die for the actions of their government any more than the Gazan people should suffer for the actions of Hamas.

betheb86.bsky.social @betheb86.bsky.social · 07/10/2025
Even if they do, there's still a lot missing in the peace plan; especially regarding the west bank, where ever more illegal Israeli settlements keep cropping up, making a lasting peace in a two state solution nearly impossible. One can only hope that true peacemakers will rise up... שלום, سلام

Hospitals have been bombed. Journalists and aid workers have been targeted and murdered. Critical aid supplies have been denied, and when they were allowed, fire was opened on innocent civilians just trying to get their first meal in days. Let's hope the cease-fire talks work, but I am cautious.

betheb86.bsky.social @betheb86.bsky.social · 07/10/2025
Because two years later, it should be clear that it's not just Hamas who have grievously miscalculated; so has the Israeli government. It should be impossible not to condemn the October 7th attack. It should be equally impossible not to condemn the genocide by the Israeli government in Gaza.

often cut off from trade, and crucial facilities like running water or electricity. But after such barbarism, who could ignore Israel's right to defend its own people? And who could sympathize with the barbarians? Nothing can excuse such slaughter of innocent people. Nothing. Not even October 7th.

betheb86.bsky.social @betheb86.bsky.social · 07/10/2025
I mean, at that point, sure, there had been terrorist attacks, but it was also hard not to empathize with a population living in an open air prison, half of whom had been born after Hamas rose to power; treated forever as second class citizens through no fault of their own,

betheb86.bsky.social @betheb86.bsky.social · 07/10/2025
My thoughts this day are unequivocally with the victims and their families, not in the least the hostages that are still not returned. On that horrible day, I was sure that Hamas had not only committed a horrible crime, but they had made a crucial error.

betheb86.bsky.social @betheb86.bsky.social · 07/10/2025
2 years ago today, Hamas committed an atrocious attack against civilians who were peacefully enjoying a music festival, brutally ending the lives of 1200 people, wounding thousands more, and traumatizing millions. I condemned that attack emphatically that day, and I condemn it today.

Merz: ik ga mij heel duidelijk afzetten van de historische fout die mijn land tegen de Joden heeft gemaakt. Ook Merz: mijn land kiest dan maar opnieuw aan de kant van genocide. Niet elke jood is een Israeli, Friedrich. Maar alle slachtoffers van genocide zijn slachtoffers van genocide.

betheb86.bsky.social @betheb86.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
Mortality is not a measure of health, as it is skewed by demographic composition, it just means we have more old people. Because our life expectancy is 3 years longer than the USA. We do have a high tax burden, but also working social security in case of unemployment and a decent retirement age.

Yes I do, because I happen to live in a country with a healthcare system that works exactly like the ACA was originally intended, with individual mandates and all that stuff y'all deemed "too socialist". And my country actually still functions. That's Belgium, btw.

Senator, at this point, I feel like the only thing to do is take a broken, creaky COUNTRY, smash it to the ground, and rebuild from the ground up. Congress is broken. SCOTUS is broken. Your elections led to Trump in the White House. Your media and education are hijacked by fascists. I could go on...

Because that's what they want, Chuck. They want to see the place burn, and of course they'll blame it on you. Meanwhile, they declared war on the American people today, and blatantly called for war crimes to be committed. What will it take for you to see that cooperation with the GOP is impossible?

I fear that what will stick is the "no more fat soldiers", because it's such a ludicrous catch phrase, while what should stick is the far more chilling "we don't find with stupid rules of engagement". It is an open call to commit war crimes, like their examples Russia and Israel.

Trump calling scientists “stupid people” on the stage of the United Nations while completely misrepresenting climate science is truly insane. And of course the president who spends more time on the golf course than in the White House rants about Obama playing golf.

So, starting tomorrow, Kimmel will be back. I wonder how much their cowardice ended up costing Disney; though I don’t think ‘ended’ is the right word. It’s not like we’re all gonna resub to Disney+ tomorrow and pretend this didn’t happen… Their actions have caused lasting damage to free speech.

Any violence by people on the side of freedom will immediately be twisted into justification for violence against dissenters, just like we see now. And if it should come to large scale violence and civil war, let it not be the peacemakers that light the flame.

You are not wrong. What is happening is wrong. Finally, do not resort to violence as long as you are not in physical danger. I know it may seem like there is no other way left, especially if nothing remains of the first amendment. But as we have seen with the murder of Kirk, violence is no answer.
