I started ADHD meds and am reining in my social media usage, including Bsky. I'll be posting a lot less and will probably start unfollowing a lot of people. It's nothing personal, and I'm doing well, I just need to unplug from The Discourse to a large degree.

Adam Carolla in his 'Soviet Dissident' era
If there's one silver lining to the mainstreaming of white nationalism in the US, it's that it creates an opportunity for people to publicly dissect white nationalist ideology and reveal its proponents as incoherent idiots.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

“Outpacing China has to begin at home, by getting our own economic house in order, a challenge that also should motivate Mr. Trump to rethink a large range of his policies,” writes Steven Rattner.

The IDF seems to have contempt for anyone and anything that is not Israeli.
The Israeli army bulldozed parts of a cemetery in Gaza which houses the graves of Allied solders, including dozens of British and Australian soldiers, from World War II.
The IDF has falsely claimed that the dismantling was done out of self defense due to it being an "active combat zone".

The IDF rigged a water facility in Gaza with explosives and detonated it. They filmed themselves doing so and posted the video to social media with a "funny" caption. All during a ceasefire.
But if I, as a Canadian, criticize this, I risk having HonestReporting or Canary Mission come after my job.

NEW: Howard Lutnick, the billionaire who serves as President Trump’s commerce secretary, planned a visit to Epstein’s island in 2012.
Lutnick previously claimed that he was so revolted by Epstein that he had cut ties with him years earlier.

I'll never forgive the people who consistently and deliberately cast doubt on these figures.
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Why would anyone expect these books to still be relevant? They were fun reads at the time, but they're not great literature and haven't aged all that well.
And that's without even touching on the author's obsessive anti-trans crusade in recent years.

I've seen a shocking number of Canadian quislings on Twitter as well.
A lot of British "patriots" siding with a hostile foreign leader who has declared economic war on their country.
A hostile foreign leader who is now looking for anything he can do to damage Britain - because he wants to steal Greenland.
You have all been totally exposed.

Tourism is a luxury. Cutting off tourist visas is far more humane than the sanctions the US routinely imposes on other countries.
US sanctions have destroyed entire national economies and cost thousands (likely millions) of lives.

To those who are claiming that it'd be too cruel and extreme for the EU to cut off American tourist visas now (or to otherwise sanction or inconvenience us Americans in any way)....

Part of the suspicion is because the loudest Iranian exiles are right-wing monarchists who support Reza Pahlavi and Israel. It's also because Trump and Netanyahu loudly claim to support the protestors and are seemingly looking to use the opportunity for another bombing campaign.
@galbeckerman.bsky.social: ”In my conversations with these Iranian exiles, I heard deep frustration ... The Iranian protesters stepping fearlessly into the sights of government snipers are being seen by the American left with more suspicion than sympathy.”

Mehdi Hasan is spot on here. Protests and encampments are about challenging and changing the policies of *domestic* actors, be they governments, corporations or universities.
They are not about demonstrating one's moral positions in a vacuum.

The US & Israeli governments have caused great harm to Iranians and don’t have the best interests of the Iranian people in mind.

I don't get why this would be leaked to a right-wing outlet, or why DHS would promote it. It shows that this was a low-stress situation, that Good was not being belligerent, that the agent was aimlessly walking Good's car, and that Good was steering away from him. Am I missing something?
I reached out to DHS, which is promoting the video on X.
My main question is whether this is the full video taken by the ICE agent or if it's been edited down to obscure what happened before and after.
DHS hasn't responded.
