Yeah I’m not one to jump go getting child services involved, but they need to know what’s going on. These children are in danger

I’ve got a checklist for him to try. Though apparently one of the items on there is fucking named after him.

He should try mixing deleriants and empathogens. Or just take a heroic dose of datura.

Yeah we dont talk about it much because it was a shitshow that’s definitely political but not really in line with any side. Like it made perfect sense to Americans at the time that black people who were sick of racism and their ancestors were brought here against their will should be allowed to just go to Africa.

Its definitely a story we should remember when we talk about decolonization. Not as a deterrent but as a warning of what doing it poorly could look like.

But yeah thats why there’s that one country in Africa whose flag is weirdly similar to the American flag, and the lack of knowledge of it is why its emoji is regularly used to refer to America

It’s also a refusal to understand that Liberia was colonized by America as part of a postbellum “return to aftica”

Fucking hell. Like I know Americans don’t know that we’re the ones who colonized Liberia but come on, the president should.

Well it’s good to know that the courts are willing to tell the executive they can’t do things. Shame about it only applying when the feds are helping ordinary people

They lost steam when Fred Phelps died. Also they became normalized. But largely they were pissing off everyone on purpose. They protested the funerals of both gay people and soldiers

I assumed it was her husband and children voting.

Bodhisattva, not a Buddha. A Buddha has escaped samsara, a bodhisattva is usually holding off on finishing enlightenment in the hopes of helping others attain it, though others are just on the verge of it.

Siddhartha Gautama was born a bodhisattva, but became a Buddha when he achieved enlightenment, at which point he wasn’t reborn.

This means that what the Dalai Lama is saying is ultimately that he’s either continuing to forgo enlightenment or that he has accepted that it hasn’t come in this lifetime. If he had it would’ve been a big deal in his school of Buddhism and all that recognize him as the bodhisattva he claims to be. Like, an astronomically big deal.

For a country it’s huge. For a landmass it’s small.

Deportations will stop soon. Remember the whole nitrogen execution thing from last year? They have the budget to build gas chambers and nobody will stop them

Rhode Island isn’t a landmass. It’s a political division. Europe is large for everything but continents. But it’s a moderately sized peninsula on the Eurasian continent.

Nobody is claiming it’s small like Luxembourg, we’re saying its small like India (yes I know its 3x the size of india)

Mama Parsons said it best

They have limits?

Yeah, their statement made that crystal clear. They’re calling her a burglar.

I think in this case its less that and more absolute delusion

Yeah, DHS’s side of the story made their intentions clear: that woman isn’t returning home
