what me strikes also when watching or #streaming on the internet : #American #movies seem so bland... endless blood-splattering, horror... or these fabricated dramas blabla... then better to prefer action movies LOL
only European movies have the ability to touch (!) me ... where I refrain from what I know what is coming and make a pause before I continue... they get under my skin (!)

I can order a nuclear strike. I can order masked goons (ice)with guns to shoot at people in America. I can order the air force to bomb anyone I want to.I can have the navy launch missiles. I can have the national guard go into a city & terrorize the population. I can send in marines against who ever I want. But as a convicted felon I can’t own a gun. Isn’t America great? #maga #liar #army #navy #bomb #Criminal #ice #1stFelon #USA #middleEastWar #russia #ukraine #Trump #American #fascism #fascist

The clerk at ALDI asked if my accent was #Canadian. I said yes 🙄 🇨🇦. Actually, I said, “I’ll take that, but I’m #American” When I lived in #Alaska and traveled abroad, I would always say I was from Alaska. Avoided many conversations I didn’t want to have. To be fair, I haven’t been asked where I’m from in a long time, but I’m reminded that I’m still a #BlowIn.

In related news, my citizenship 🇮🇪 application is finally in. Now a different waiting game.

Brand New's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is such a great album. I come back to it every now and then and then play it on repeat until the bits are scratched up, only to repeat it again sometime later.
It's time I check out their other albums too though, something I've somehow never gotten around to. Odd how that goes.

"In 1942, the mother of a toddler was given a shocking order: She was told that her child must be sent to a #detention facility without her. That was the real-life dilemma faced by the main character of Together in #Manzanar: The True Story of a #Japanese #Jewish Family in an #American #ConcentrationCamp, a new book by Tracy Slater.

It takes place when the #UnitedStates was reeling from #Japan's attack on #PearlHarbor and began rounding up people of Japanese descent."

From t.me/United24media

#American rapper #Azealia_Banks mocked the weight of #Ukrainian soldier #Oleksandr_Kiriienko. #Kiriienko returned from #Russian captivity 40 kilograms thinner. He was captured in #Mariupol in 2022 and not released until February 5, 2025.

#Kiriienko recorded a video message for #Banks, recalling what he went through. The torture, trauma, and abuse that #Ukrainians endure in #Russian captivity are hard to comprehend.

"this level of intrusion gives the #TrumpRegime potential control over almost every institution and organization in #America, every aspect of #American life
...

But this control is not exercised publicly. It’s behind the scenes. It’s found in the fine print. And it is personal. It depends on Trump’s whims.

This is what #fascist control looks like, people."
