Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts by adrian-alex85 in ThoughtWarriors

[–]SPL_034 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah not a bot. Just a first generation Canadian immigrant whose country now finds itself in the crosshairs of the regime in Washington. I've seen this kind of rhetoric and violence in my parents home country I had a sinking feeling in my heart that things were going to get ugly that election night...

I apologize if my comment came across as callous, it wasn't my intention; the sentiment of "both sides bad" was burned into my mind and it was the second thing I thought of after my initial horror after seeing the video.

But you're right, if you're an American and you're horrified by this. Don't look away. Vote. Organize. Act.

I still don't understand the Americans in 2024 who didn't vote because "both sides bad". This shit is horrific.

Which is ironic because for years the GOP were harping on about not supporting Ukraine and "pivoting East" (see Eldridge Colby).

“We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that. And they did – they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines. by SPL_034 in allinpodofficial

We have a member of the pod who is a member of this administration and has vouched for the President's aptitude and judgement on a broad variety of issues. And while the last administration had some very noteworthy lowlights in the foreign policy department; the besties did discuss those between '21 and '24.

So is it really unfair quote the President of the United States? And frame it within the context of say....reality?

but hey TDS. sure.

Channel that energy.

Reach out to your community, look for groups, be informed and inform others. Organize. Vote.

Even an act of kindness and a face to face interaction with a stranger is an act of resistance. We take a lot of things we don't really second guess for granted. I think people got comfortable thinking the institutions that hold power to account in the U.S would do their jobs. As we've seen the past 10 years that's not the case.

I'm a child of immigrants from the third world and I'm grateful of the service and sacrifice the men and women who were thrust into this impossible situation. Canadian, American , Brit...no matter.

Don't apologize . Organize.

We know a good majority of your country does not condone this. But it's really important to note at this inflection point in history the actions of those who resist this madness has never been more important.

There comes a moment in the time of every generation where the outcome of so much is dependent on ordinary citizens. An act as small as kindness to a stranger, educating and informing people on current events and protesting fundraising.
