Few know what it is like to live in a pre-UN globe. We are effectively there now.

This pretty much ends any sense of the USA being part of the international order that existed since 1945.

Two fires in Victoria burning out of control. Each is larger than the entire Melbourne Metro area.
It's devastating to see so much burn.
My heart goes out to everyone in East Vic. Please stay safe, and don't stay in place. Please save your lives above all else.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them
Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Can't remember too many days when reading the news both from overseas and here in Australia has been as profoundly upsetting, infuriating and scary. I get why people need to detach, simply to find some joy in their own safe existence, me too. I'm just not sure we can afford to.
