A couple of other photos I took recently. I’m so luck to live here. There’s so much beauty. This is near Crozon. Real picture postcard Brittany.

In Brittany, France, there are loads of little chapels like this one, tucked away in the countryside.

Mr President. A little reminder, because this has been pointed out to you several times before. Ukraine did not start this war, Putin did. Ukraine is trying to defend itself from a murdering brute. Are you stupid or have you got dementia and you just forget everything? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wasn’t this a good time for Trump to gut Federal funding for the National Weather Service, laying off 1000 employees. Good job the BBC is there to help out.

So, back to my original question. In what universe is Trump’s agression against democratic states making America great again? From where I’m standing, it looks like it’s making America weaker.

Oh, and I had considered test driving a Tesla but now I’m considering a Renault Mégane electric. The thing is, I’m not alone … far from it, calls to boycott US products are exploding around the world .

Now looking for ways to replace my IPhone with a non-US alternative. Doesn’t Free Phone use Android? This may be difficult right now, but solutions may arise in the future.

Needless to say I’m also very attentive to not buy supermarket products by Unilever, Coca Cola, Procter & Gamble …

Gmail replaced by Ikmail (ongoing) Google Calendar - replaced by Infomaniak’s calendar or Proton Calendar (still assessing which) Netflix - subscription cancelled PayPal - subscription ended Amazon - account closed WhatsApp - account closed, replaced by Signal Facebook - gone Spotify- Deezer

X - replaced by Bluesky Microsoft - subscription ended, replaced by Linux, Libre Office and KDrive. Dropbox - subscription ended, replaced by Infomaniak’s KDrive Google search replaced by Ecosia Google Drive replaced by KDrive (ongoing) Google Maps replaced by Magic Earth

Here is my personal big US company boycott progress (perso I am not boycotting products and services from open source and/or not for profit organisations):

I’m only a little guy, but imagine the effect that 500 million and more other little guys and girls around the democratic world can have if we all do the same.

By the way, the population of the US is around 350 million.

In what universe will Trump’s agression against democratic states make America great again? The population of Canada is 40 million; that of the EU is around 450 million. That’s just us two but we mustn’t forget the others that Trump’s agression is pissing off.

My first ever post here. I’d never posted on Twitter either, counting myself to just read others’ posts. But I really had to share this very poignant article. Hope I’m doing this right 🤞 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
