This is completely disingenuous to the point of being defamatory. One fascist yahoo got chased away without incident. What a trash publication you’ve become. You should get off BlueSky. You don’t belong among civilized people anymore.

Didn’t Mike Huckabee say that he supports Israel taking over the entire Middle East? Why not start with that one? Tuckie is an idiot blowhard; Huckabee gets paid by my tax dollars.

The answer is: everybody goes to jail. The post-Godhra trials went as far as convicting Modi’s right-woman Maya Kodnani but left Modi himself untouched. Once he corrupted the national government and judiciary completely, she was freed. Impunity for genocide is how Modi destroyed Indian democracy.

Imagine being such a white nationalist you think this is a defense of your non-white-nationalism. Like asking the white nationalist fish to define the white nationalist ocean in which he shits.

Republicans did this to us during the Iraq War. We were all labeled traitors then. There is no rehabilitating them by gf setting rid of Trump. It’s part of their warped, demented personalities.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

War correspondent Lizzie Johnson sits in the back of a car, writing her report by headlamp with pencil and paper because ink freezes in the Kyiv cold. The city, she states, is without power, heat, or running water—again. She shares that she was just laid off by the Washington Post while still in-country.

If Hungary were a state in the US, it would have the 32nd largest economy and yet be 51st in GDP per capita (nominal). That’s right: Mississippi ($41K) kicks Hungary’s ($23K) ass. Even adjusted for PPP, MS (~$57K) still beats Hungary ($48K).

Does anyone know if it’s really possible to rehabilitate these kids or are they lost and gone forever? Can we give broad training to parents & teachers to prevent this type of extremism from arising? Or is the thrill of edgy, transgressive slop they find on the internet too seductive?

Anyone check this against Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel’s plan to wipe out ⅔ of the country? Releasing prisons full of infected people would go a long way toward this. Your childhood vax won’t protect you now that herd immunity is gone. And yet we have no choice.

What is he talking about? Crime was at an all-time low before Trump took office. Kids getting snatched off the streets wasn’t happening. It is only happening now by ICE agent terrorists, who are just J6, Nazi, KKK, Proud Boys, 3%ers, and other white supremacist scum.

Lord, I hope so. I’m also very doubtful that there is any real pullback; I think Collins is just being allowed to say stuff to get people in Maine to shut up.

Yes. Maine has long been a place for war refugees to land. We currently have asylum seekers—legally authorized to live, work, and go to school—from Gabon and Congo, who have been kidnapped by ICE. Including a single mother nurse, an engineering student at USM, & a corrections officer.

Yeah, so Collins told Trump this could cost her re-election, so they just pulled back, because they know that removing dangerous people from the country was never really the mission, it was always just about terrorizing anyone who stood up to Trump.

It is also to take seriously that praxis has its own agency aside from being a mere reflection of belief. To do otherwise is to privilege the Protestantism latent in seemingly neutral secularist discourse about religion.

Steven M. Vose @thejainguy.bsky.social · 29/01/2026
You can’t write about religious people and what they do if you’re taking the stance, implicitly or otherwise, that what they do is weird, irrational, and anti-modern. Your job is to convey the logic religious people follow; the rhetoric here falls short of that.
