Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Trump will get his way with two thirds of SCOTUS by incentivizing them better (see "Clarence Thomas"), or possibly by terrorizing them into submission. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 18/03/2025I don't think that's fair . Most Americans might not *realize* that they've lost their democracy or freedom or rights, but they would care if they knew. 1130
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Columbia is eager to comply because it is run and controlled by Zionists whose main priority is to silence anti-genocide voices, at the expense of American free speech and the 1st amendements. 140
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 16/03/2025The great fascist/Zionist alliance is pretty happy to welcome raging antisemitic leaders in its fold. Why else would Netayahu count Trump and Orbán as his friends? 120
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 14/03/2025After 9/11, Georges W Bush's approval rating jumped to 90%. This happens in times of war. Zelensky's approval rating *before* the war was at 37%. This doesn't mean he's evil, but let's not build him up as a hero based on his wartime popularity. 210
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Or ... these people, while pretending to be the opposition - are just satisfied that the GOP has full control and can push far right goals forward, including enriching the oligarchy and defunding social programs, health programs, etc. 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Numbers like these show two things: (a) that people are unable to dissociate themselves from their party (b) that the US is so polarized it is irremediably broken 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 06/03/2025This is what happens to societies in decline that don't fund science and R&D. Foreign institutions hire their best and brightest, thus accelerating the decline and improving their own status in the process. It's called a brain drain, and it's happening to the US right now. 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 05/03/2025When you are this passive year after year, decade after decade, it's no longer inapt resistance, it's collaboration. 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Yes. Although to be fair, the US military haven't applied these standards for a long time. "Collateral damage" is barely frowned upon nowadays - *especially* when it's in a brown country (which it always is), e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, etc. 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Our democratic "leaders" are fully on board with Republicans. Oh they'll criticize some things from time to time, but they are doing literally nothing. Why? Because what is really happening is *another* huge wealth transfer toward rich white people, and Dems are absolutely fine with that. #uniparty 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Yes to #1. Not convinced about #2. Zelensky held his ground in a tough situation. He faced down two juvenile bullies and kept his dignity. That's brave, maybe courageous, it's not heroic. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I mean, she's a deep core Zionist, so really there is zero surprise she's such a strong supporter of the new Nazis of America. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The US is using the same language to oppose UN resolutions against Russia, that it has used for decades to block the ones condemning Israel. Words like "antagonistic" or "not constructive to peace". And it is SO satisfying that people are finally realizing how contrived and disingenuous they sound. 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 25/02/2025It's an effective way of blindly and fully supporting Israel. Isn't that what it's all about? 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Yes. If only the same leaders stood up to defend the innocent in Palestine... #freepalestine #genocide #israelapartheid 120
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 24/02/2025The NYT spent a year amplifying Israel's lies - from 40 beheaded babies to "human shields" in every school and hospital Israel destroyed. Now they want us to believe they're the truth sentinel. F.. them. Seriously. F.. them 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 24/02/2025This is what real democracy is about. People have multiple choices, and vote for the party that best represents their views. Not just the least worst between a genocidal maniac and a rapist. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 22/02/2025This 👇. It seems like the evil duo are so absorbed with their vendetta against minorities, social policies and the rule of law that they forgot to make sure their rich friends stay happy. That's not going to work for them. 192
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Didn't the exact same thing happen in 2017, when Republicans passed the so-called "Trump tax cut"? And when Biden became president and the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate, did they do anything to reverse that plunder? No? I wonder why... 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Yep. Beyond disgusting. And the reason why the ADL is not up in arms is that this particular Nazi administration is perfectly aligned with Zionism. In other words, Israel. Beyond disgusting. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I don't like Trudeau, and I don't like sore winners. But Trump deserves this one. #canada #hockey #fournations 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 21/02/2025It is shocking that people are surprised by this. The American political machine RELIES on Democrats and Republicans being the only options. One party continuously drives to the right, and the other fakes resisting but just paves the way. Do people really not see this? 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Israel's gestapo went after a bookstore in Jerusalem. This British writer did the right thing. www.matthewteller.com 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Israeli Jews are absolutely not interested in any such compromise. Zionism has always been about dominating and harassing Palestinians, in order to force them to leave. Here's David Ben Gurion, first PM of Israel, saying exactly this. 274
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Coming from the chancellor of a country that continues to unconditionally support Israel's genocide, and makes it a crime to even criticize Zionism, it's a pathetically hypocritical stand. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 16/02/2025No. Western values are rooted in racism, exploitation and colonialism, and the Trump admin is not attacking these things. In fact the inverse is true, Trump is openly promoting these values, which makes things uncomfortable for western leaders who have been doing the same exact thing subversively. 020
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Il est temps de remettre un peu d'équilibre dans le monde. Les pays en voie de développement, surtout le "global south", doivent travailler ensemble d'avantage, et s'affranchir rapidement du joug abusif Américain. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 13/02/2025This is exactly what we expected. People were already pissed at us for our bullying of international orgs and our support for Israel's genocide. Now they've had it. 0161
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Regardless of its "stated position" and hand-to-heart promises, Google has been cynically working with the military in the US and abroad, notably in Israel, for a long time. It simply adjusted its mission statement to reflect the facts on the ground... 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Wow. Real unemployment rate in the US actually close to 24%. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 08/02/2025People need to understand. Most Democrats are fine with the Republican plan. Sure they'll protest publicly, but in private they want jungle capitalism, full control of the media, subservience of minorities. The entire political class is right-wing, not just Republicans. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025And there shall be Ambrosia, And doves, and monkeys, and beautiful things, And peace and happiness. Thus spoke Trump 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Unbelievably - but somehoe I'm not surprised - I am not able to delete my facebook account. I did however successfully delete my X account. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Besides getting condemned by the entire world, Trump's ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza - basically pushing Israel's goals - actually drove a wedge through the pro-Zionist coalition of western states. #genocide #freepalestine #israelapartheid #zionism 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Just last year, Israeli rappers Subliminal, HaTzel and Raviv Kenner produced a popular song, "It's On Us", in which they spoke of Palestinians: "There is no forgiveness for swarms of rats. They will die in their rat holes." #genocide #zionism #israelapartheid #freepalestine 011
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Amazingly, the WSJ actually spelled out Trump's tariff debacle, instead of presenting it as a "win", à la NYT, AP and WP. 000
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 04/02/2025This *might* be why there is confusion in, um, the white house 010
Mark Nyes @marknyes.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Good news (so far) from UNRWA, despite Israel's continuing harassment and war crimes. #genocide #apartheidisrael #israelterroriststate #freePalestine 121
