In a video about the US Presidents from a number of years ago, @johndruddy.bsky.social made a joke about the Monroe Doctrine: "Monroe strongly opposed European intervention in the recently independent nations of Latin America. That would later become the USA's job!" That's ringing truer every day.

I hate how the nature of social media demands everyone’s instant reaction to big news, huge events demanding our hot take, our opinion, our response to what has just happened. Be it humour, solemnity, pointing out hypocrisy etc We divide ourselves on opinion, squabble, react, and round&round we go!

One of the first things Hitler did was destroy and burn trans research at the Institute of Sexology. Trump has spent the past couple weeks systematically attempting to erase any trans related information that he has power over. Just for context, you know.
