obviously everything happening in the us is horrific but (like everything in trump's traveling carnival of government) it's mostly exceptional in now slapdash and clownish the cruelty is. let us please not forget that the EU has been paying foreign governments to torture and murder asylum seekers for years -- and australia's been doing the 'sending refugees to unaccountable offshore camps' thing for more than two decades. & like i say this not to detract from the justified fury and outrage for the situation in the usa but to urge everyone to analyse it not as some bizarre abberation but as something that fits alongside a long list of policies long pursued by the usa and other imperial core nations

What's wild to me is that he didn't lie about a lot of this stuff! He said he was going to deport people! There were "Mass Deportation Now!" signs at the RNC! DeVos was pulling this shit in his first term! He talked about the funding he wanted to cut! People just fooled themselves.

(I mean, "Welcome to the fold, it's terrible that you were fooled, etc.")

He did lie! He lied that there were tons and tons of criminal illegals he was going to laser-target, etc.

Fingal's Cave is a geological formation located on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.

It is known for its extraordinary structure of hexagonal basalt columns, which were formed from rapidly cooled volcanic lava millions of years ago. The cave is approximately 72 meters long and is notable for its natural acoustics, giving it a cathedral-like quality.

how various 90s/2000s rock bands would react to you coming out as transfem (assuming the person talking is the lead singer):

Fall Out Boy: Hell yeah! Pete can show you how to put some eyeshadow on! #Centuries

Green Day: That's awesome! Tre Cool will take you out clothes shopping while me and Mike make out! #AmericanIdiot

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Cool man - Oops, sorry, i mean lady! Haha! *every member goes back to their weed bong*

Foo Fighters: That's awesome, hey, you don't mind that I cheated on my wife right? Cool, cool. #Everlong

Weezer: Oh thank god, now I don't feel weird about writing a song about how bad I want to fuck you
