idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 40mMy curiosity got the better of me and I read the linked White House statement where this is largely lifted from. While it also drips with white supremacy, of course this is about Greenland. 010
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I mean, sure, one day, the house will be paid off, the kids will move out, and maybe I'll downsize and pocket the difference. But the benefits for me right now are only on paper. 000
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Everything is too expensive for me to be able to afford the interest, let alone the risk. There's no guarantee that an investment will pay off. 100
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 10/10/2026But you're fine with centralized government as long as it's at the state level. 000
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 10/10/2026What good is it to me that my house is worth 60% more than when I bought it? With today's interest rates, I'd need to trade it in for a house a third of its current market price just to pay the same monthly mortgage. 480
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 10/10/2026He's lost support among everyone except the people who still support him, who support him overwhelmingly. What an accomplishment! 000

idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Inner city schools that get more funding attract more and better teachers and resources. It's not complicated. 240
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026To be fair, Ukrainian TPS holders are next on the chopping block. 110
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026OK but I really do not have food at home and I can't buy groceries because the pantry and refrigerator are stuffed. 000
Reposted by idarooYael Schacher @yaelschacher.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live. 3021721055
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Well now I am interested to know what solutions AI would propose to address complex social problems. 010
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This is heartbreaking. Documenting the impact of our government's shameful policies on individuals is so important. Thank you. 0152
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Every now and then I log off for a day or two and when I come back it's like I've been gone for months. 030
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I just finished listening to the audiobook and loved every minute. We are forever remodeling so those parts were very relatable. I keep misremembering the title as 'Ode to Provence'. 083
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Individual Israelis are I think respectful, but the Israeli government absolutely dropped the ball on Holocaust survivors. 060
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Zionism is just an ideology grounded in the belief that Jews have a special connection to the ancient land of Israel and that at least some part of it is the Jewish homeland. We were doomed as soon as 'Zionist' became a mainstream slur, which happened only in the last couple of years. 020
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You think he's saying we went to war with Iran because he cares about Los Angeles so much? 000
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I wonder how much of this is going to farmers and not corporate farm owners. 100
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I cannot with people blaming Netanyahu for inviting October 7 to justify obliterating Gaza. Same people who blame Jews for inviting the Holocaust to establish a Jewish state, I would bet. 020
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We have one, not that far, but she's older and can't keep up with our kids. I wonder how often that's a blocker now with people starting families later in life. 080

idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Well the tax kicked in at $200K, $2-$3M today. The bigger issue is that even back then, the ultra rich found tax loopholes, so they did not end up paying enough to make a real dent. Individuals should not be able to accumulate that much wealth in the first place. 070
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The first time I watched Nightmare on Elm Street was the first time I was left home alone for the evening when I was 8. I was supposed to put myself to bed, but there was no way. I turned every light on in the apartment and waited in terror for my mom to come home. 060

idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don't think this even needs a caveat. I'm in PA and Fetterman still voted with Dems more than any GOP Senator, and certainly more than Oz would have. 130
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What does it even mean to say you have principles about something that's still only hypothetical for you. 000
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's probably the same here, just in the other direction. If my town were not so purple, I wouldn't believe that anywhere near a third of voters still approve of Trump. 000
idaroo @idaroo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026He doesn't even say "stairs". "I can go ramp, I can go stair, I can go 'nother stair, another stair in the back, I have a stair here..." 010
