@AMOPEUGEOT206@yowtfahhh@MemeOfSteel_ He used perspective to film this scene - refer to Peter Jackson filming the original LOTR trilogy, placing actors on different platforms to simulate hobbits and other characters
@hilltowntrader@RepBillFoster The ‘takers’ framing doesn’t hold up to data. DACA recipients pay an estimated $5.7B in federal taxes annually and are barred from most federal benefits. They can’t vote, can’t get federal student loans, can’t sponsor family. What exactly have they taken?
@hilltowntrader@RepBillFoster The APA argument is real and courts have wrestled with it, but prosecutorial discretion is an established executive power. And even if DACA were invalidated tomorrow, it wouldn’t make recipients ‘illegal.’ Undocumented ≠ criminal. Civil status isn’t a crime.
@hilltowntrader@RepBillFoster DACA has never included a path to citizenship; that’s not opinion, it’s statute. No green card, no visa, no adjustment. The advanced parole route only works if you have a U.S. citizen spouse/employer to petition you. Most don’t. Congress just hasn’t acted.
System Of A Down Honors Armenian Genocide Victims With Prayer At Sick New World In Las Vegas 🇦🇲
➖➖➖
System of a Down paused mid-set to honor the 1.5 million Armenians killed during the Armenian Genocide in 1915, alongside the Greek and Assyrian victims of the same Ottoman campaign, during their performance at the Sick New World Festival at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 25, 2026.
"Millions of Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians were massacred during World War One by the Ottoman Turks. This prayer is to honor those that have left us and also those who survived. The problem is that genocide still occurs today around the world. We have not learned the lesson of people over profits. It's time. It's time to relieve ourselves of these idiotic fucking leaders around the world," said System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian.
Tankian then led the crowd in “Der Voghormia,” the Armenian Apostolic prayer for mercy, before the band launched into Holy Mountains, their 2005 song confronting the Armenian Genocide and its denial.
The moment came two years after bandmate Daron Malakian used the same festival stage in 2024 to ask where the outrage was when the babies of Artsakh were crying. From the same band, on the same ground, the message lands again: remembrance and accountability, spoken into a crowd of tens of thousands two days before Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.

Artsakh carpets are a cultural language woven by hand. Grateful to Vahe for inviting us into this world through his lens and for sharing its beauty. Armenia 🇦🇲
