Čelit ruskému vlivu u nás? Ne. Zdanit tiché víno? Ne. Odmítnout miliardu z drogového tržiště? Ne. Řešit kritickou roztržku mezi MO a NGŠ? Ne. Upravit jednací řád sněmovny? Ne. Udělat koresp. volbu rozumně? Ne. Rozbít dementní systém přijímaček? Ne. Ale zničit národní parky, to by se dalo stihnout!

Yes, I have a very hard job to do. It is not just about being a nasty reminder that war still here. It is about educating people about Ukrainian history and art - things that many cannot imagine we have in this country. * thoughts after preparing info for tomorrow

Europe is fragile. Europeans are not ready for a major war. Most Europeans do not realize that the battle for Europe is already underway. Most Europeans do not understand the danger looming over them. Russia wants #Europe. Russia is ready for a major war and ready to kill.

So now Trump's regime wants to set up a database to "track" autistic individuals, including accessing highly personal data. Autism is not a "disease" and we definitely don't need to be tracked by any government, historically that doesn't end well for the group being tracked.

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is a crime. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Whatever it takes. There is no acceptable outcome of the war in Ukraine than the full pullout of Russia behind its recognized border and war reparations.

European leaders must state that Ukraine should win the war, and they must also state what that means: 1. Russia pushed out of Ukraine 2. Russia paying reparations to Ukraine 3. All deported Ukrainians, POWs, brought back to Ukraine 4. All Russian war criminals handed over to justice etc.
