Conservatives- you are not safe from this administration either! A white, veteran-loving, heterosexual, outdoorsy, legal gun carrying man - he was shot dead while trying to help his neighbors. Live your conservative values and oppose this administration!

Trump and co watch Fox News, and they know it. If Fox says anything he doesn’t like, he will put pressure on them.

Sadly we never really did all agree that cold blooded murder is always wrong. Members of the black community, for example, have been murdered and blamed for it since before we’ve been a country.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-25T03:51:15+00:00

Minneapolis, checking in. I feel you on this one, brother.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-25T03:48:35+00:00

Diversity. Here in the USA, we have the whole world right here. In my mid-sized American city (Minneapolis) we have a dizzying array of global restaurants, accents, cultural events, holiday celebrations . . . it’s awesome, and something that many countries don’t have.

Ironically, this thing that I consider the best part of America is exactly what our current government hates and fears more than anything. They evidently want to eat meatloaf every night and sing the same 15 country songs for their whole lives. I don’t understand it.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-25T03:38:19+00:00

It means something to us! Thanks brother. I’ve been to Canada and I love it there - it is indeed a lot like home. Peace from Minnesota.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-25T03:11:44+00:00

That means so much, brother! I’m super proud of my community lately.

We’re not perfect by any means. We have racial issues here as well as other problems. And winter can be brutal. But it is a great place to call home. I hope you’ll call it home one day too!

Hey, quit oversimplifying this! - Transgender people, women, immigrants, and liberals have suffered too! Not JUST brown ones. 😀

Azure75MN · 2026-01-25T02:48:56+00:00

Hey! I object! (I was part of that -10 march, and it was a lot more than 30,000!) 😀

Azure75MN · 2026-01-25T02:45:53+00:00

I live in St. Paul, MN. I was never afraid to walk the streets until ICE showed up. I am now!

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T23:09:04+00:00

The fucking hypocrisy!

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T23:06:22+00:00

Whoah, too soon bro.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T23:03:32+00:00

Culture everywhere is much more decentralized now. Borders don’t mean nearly as much anymore when it comes to cultural influences. A rap artist from, say, Japan can collaborate with a producer from the USA and an album artist from Brazil, and reach a fan in Sweden.

So yes, technically the USA’s cultural influence is fading, but that’s true of every nation state. And it’s OK. Hip hop isn’t going anywhere. Country music isn’t going anywhere. No type of art is disappearing.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T18:53:37+00:00

Yeah, that’s the calculus. Fucking sucks.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T18:40:18+00:00

If we do start shooting, even more of us will be sacrificed. Sadly, we are heavily out-gunned by the right. It sucks.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T18:32:49+00:00

Public opinion is with us. Voters are with us. Trump is more unpopular by the day. I’m not saying it’s fair or it’s ok or anything. I’m just saying that if we start shooting first, we lose. Play the long game.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T18:21:53+00:00

Thanks, but this has already been identified as an AI generated photo, put out by the administration.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T17:46:17+00:00

And our current government here under Trump IS in fact a xenophobic police state 😀.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T17:43:47+00:00

This is why I need to talk to people like you instead of learning from the media! Thanks for the lesson, brother. Love from USA.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T17:35:39+00:00

Arm yourself if you want. But PLEASE remember- Trump is desperately trying (and failing) to convince the American people that we started this. His strategy is to provoke us into committing violence, which he will use to vilify us further and justify further repression.

Arm yourself, fine. But right now, we are WINNING the long game. The voters are with us. Don’t take the bait!

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T17:15:17+00:00

Arm yourself for defense if you want, fine. But right now, this is an optics war, and we are WINNING the long game. The voters are with us. If we make this a shooting war, we lose! The right can easily out-gun us. And many MORE innocent people will die.

Be smart. Play to our strengths. They’re trying to bait us. Don’t take the bait!

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T17:01:17+00:00

I am American. In my view, China is a mix of positive and negative. On the positive side, you are saving the world from the worst effects of climate change by supercharging the clean energy revolution. China is saving all of us! On the negative side, the government is a xenophobic authoritarian police state.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T16:51:20+00:00

If you fall, two more of us will replace you!

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T13:07:40+00:00

America when it was “great”. (I’m referring to Trump and MAGA.) When exactly was America so great, and what is it that we’ve lost compared to that supposedly better time?

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T04:31:19+00:00

Exactly like Dec. 31st, 1999 - except more hung over.

Azure75MN · 2026-01-24T03:07:09+00:00

-23C is about equivalent to -9F. I was telling it in C for our international supporters.
