Morgan Gardner, who is seven months pregnant, said she felt betrayed after her Iranian spouse was targeted amid ongoing tension between the U.S. and Iran.
But that didn’t stop ALL the german being called nazi after WWII and all being appalled by their (in)action and the pain their nation did to others.
I had a German colleague apologizing to me for his ancestors actions (who killed some family members at my grandparents generation). None of us were born when that happened but he wanted to say it as he was ashamed by his grandparents (in)actions. I was sad for him because he didn’t do anything wrong but he was taking the weight of his nation history personally.
Do you want to do that or - more probably - do you want your children to do that later? They will ask for forgiveness to the descendants of the people impacted today saying: “I’m sorry that my parents didn’t do anything to stop that”
Because your ICE gestapo-like state organization is doing appalling actions TODAY in plain sight. And you - as Americans - will be remembered as people who lets this happen.
I’m sure of that and i’m sad to see good people aware but unable to change the direction their nation takes. Must be horrible, infuriating.
I’m worried too about the next presidential election in my country. Hope we will be able to reject fascism again in the next election cycle. Something we have to do nearly all the time since I’m able to vote.
They’re about to pass a bill that will absolutely gut funding and incentives for renewable energy, resulting in catastrophic damage to our industrial base, our economy, and the loss of like 150,000 construction and industry jobs. It is extremely horrible and infuriating!
We know that.

Yep. That already happened. So we know.
We know that. I’ve been apologizing constantly on Lemmy. I guess I was thinking more on an individual basis 🤷♂️.
Also, I’m very very sorry for all this.
