As far as I can tell from sifting through comments and replies, this was excerpts from a CNN segment in which John Bolton talked about the US doing coups in other countries while Jake Tapper did a bobblehead impression.

The history of US-backed coups all over the world is known and documented, and even despite gen-AI slop and SEO making search engines virtually unusable these days, you can still find information about past coups orchestrated by the US fairly easy. Not sure what 'community guideline' it breaks to share still images and video of a politician talking about it to a reporter on a major national news network.

…damn, this wasn’t “violating Tumblr guidelines” when I reblogged it.

Way to obey in advance, Tumblr.

Apparently the US have been detaining European greencard holders, upon their return to the US after travels. Some have been deported to their countries of origin, some are held in prison in the US.
A French man has been rejected entrance into the country over him having messages on his phone criticial of Trump, he was sent back to France after overnight detention.
A German woman with a tourist visa was equally rejected and send back after overnight detention without access to her medication.

As of yesterday Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland and Canada have revised their travel guidelines for the US.
This includes warnings over being denied entry despite a visa, detention and the US no longer recognizing the X gender marker in passports.

For the first time, the UN has advised all staff in New York to carry their UN IDs and copies of passports and visas at all times in case of being stopped by authorities. This precaution is due to increased scrutiny by U.S. immigration authorities under the trump administration, even affecting those with legal residence status.

This is actually really important and comes up in Anthropology classes all. The. Time.

As long as homo sapiens have existed, we have had the same emotional and mental capacity as you and I do today. You nailed it. They were US. Even Neaderthals existed alongside and had offspring with Homo Sapiens for many thousands of years.

There's much evidence that cavemen would have had complex spoken language, culture (learned information passed down), symbolic interpretation, and I think they most certainly would have been able to handle holding a baby. In fact I have my suspicisions that an ancient homo sapiens mother may be a more present, attentive, and knowledgable mom than I could be today.

Do not let media trick you into believing we are the pinnacle of humanity. Unilinial evolution theory (google it quick I beg) is BUNK, GARBAGE, and the root of so much evil.

We've been human for a long, long time, and we are not inherently better than all those who came before.

One the most profound experiences of my life was visiting Font de Gaume, which has 12 thousand year old paintings. They use a technique where the horses appeared to run across the wall when seen in flickering firelight. There was a bison the wall staring at us with such attitude, I could practically hear him. I had the most profound feeling of those ancient artists reaching forward to lay their hands on my shoulders. To say, "This was my world." It was a profoundly moving experience.

Some years later, I went to the Orkney islands where we visited a tiny family run museum of artifacts from the chambered tomb at the other end of the farm. They handed me a pestle once held by some neolithci human.They'd worn groves where the thumb and forefinger would be for better grip.

I remember when I was teaching English to elementary students in China and I was explaining that read (I read it) and read (please read this) are pronounced differently and my best student, silently, stood up, pushed his chair in, and walked out of the class

Here in Sweden we have a pretty active larping community and many of them have a historical setting. I remember a story of a really awesome WW2 larp where, unfortunately, one of the participants hadn't removed his boots for three days straight and it rained the whole time. His feet suffered so much that he had to be taken to the hospital, which was a sight to behold. See, this guy covered in mud and wearing authentic WW2 gear had managed to get an incredibly historically correct case of trench foot. From a trench.

Peer reviewed! Too good to leave!
