Europeans get it and say it out loud. Why the #USians don’t is a mystery to me
:
“The remarks were swiftly condemned on social media. The English historian, author and television presenter Simon Schama described them as a “special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity and comically ludicrous self-importance”. Schama added: “As if the little people’s rage against immigration somehow is superior to the war against the 3rd Reich and entitles this comic book nobody to lecture the actual heroes.”

Has anyone done a study of the geographic distribution of #Fediverse users? My impression is that it's becoming increasingly Eurocentric, but I see a lot of content from the #UK in particular. I wonder if that's just an over representation because of the social circles I've fallen into here (reinforced by the fact that I am a monoglot and filter for English).

#USians are not much represented in my feed.

Fellow white #USians,

Get a hold of your people. WTF #SouthCarolina

"Government documents have identified the two federal officers who fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis as Jesus Ochoa, a border patrol agent, and Raymundo Gutierrez, an officer with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to ProPublica."

That has to be driving the MAGA #USians (more) nuts, right? Latino guys, ostensibly looking for migrants, killing a white guy?

I believe that it was @amiserabilist that posed the most important question I might have ever read, the other day & I would like to ask my fellow #USians specifically.

Similarly to Paul, you don't have to answer here, but you should know the answer to this. That means writing it down and/or telling someone close to you. These things have a tendency to shift over time, especially if they're not crystallized into reality.

"What is your personal red line?"

What is the one thing that if the #trump criminal empire does, you will not return to normal life until they are out of power? This doesn't necessarily mean quitting your job, if you have one, but supporting those who take to the streets in any way possible. No vacations, no holidays, no nights out because you deserve it.

What is the one thing that if they do, you will become as obsessed with #antifascism as I am?
