Have lived in many countries on a few continents. Now settled on a mountain so I can use a pointy stick to poke people down if they bother me. And now this is what I do, I read, I judge, I garden and I know (a few) things.

Do even americans understand that trump demands 50% of all natural resources ukraine has and find in future forever? FOREVER .. no time limit or upper limit on value. ITS RAPE

So, I signed a petition earlier today on change.org to ban X in Europe😉 admirable sentiment, but that's not how the EU works and I thought I'll run you guys to the actual steps needed for the system to pay attention to you👇 Step1: start here👇 citizens-initiative.europa.eu/how-it-works...

Excellent. This, on top of air travel to the US is down as 10% or more, Canadians are refusing to fly on American airliners, and travel agencies are reporting as high as a 40% drop in bookings to US destinations. Canada is responsible for more of America's tourism dollars than anywhere else.

When you are too nazi for Le Pen.

Happy Friday! This is the resistance. Cause some Good Trouble today!

Feed cleanser. Beautiful art!

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

This US administration is making me agree with people like Graham and Pence. Ew ew but they are right.

What the Goebbels of the Georgian Dream regime says - literally, not essentially - is that no one has the right to protest anything ever at all. Citizens can only vote once in four years. What electoral fraud?

With friends like these, Europe needs to remember we are (mostly) each other's best friend. UK would be smart to remember the 'special' in special relationship is very much like 'mommy thinks I am special'.

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Swedish armed forces recommend its citizens to use Signal as the default way to send messages. Signal is free, open source, double encrypted, and no one is listening in like Facebook does on Facebook messenger and WhatsApp. I recommend everyone resisting trump using it too. #Resist

Traitors.

Of course, the former. Prime Minister of the UK went a different way and blamed Europe for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Tories failed utterly when they made Johnson leader.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

⚠️ Ever seen a viral post that felt… off? It mixed truth with lies. It spread like wildfire. You weren’t alone. State-sponsored disinfo is real. And it’s getting smarter. Here’s how we fight back on Bluesky 👇

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

And this is why I consider EU the best international project of our time and maybe ever.

Carville on Hannity: I think the Republican Party wants to get rid of Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security. I think they are against a living wage. They support Putin. I think the Republican Party hates workers and protect billionaires…https://youtu.be/9L_HvoOkU0s?si=Jt9e8jG9DqcAOTZo

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
