Trying to stay informed about the calamitous state of world politics, even though I'd rather be painting, or writing, or reading or silversmithing. Basically I'm an old school lefty, praying for a better world - even though I'm an atheist

This is what patriotism looks like. Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player was arrested after speaking out against plans to install a MAGA plaque at a Southern California library. What a legend. The irony is that it’s unlikely a MAGA supporter has ever set foot in a library.

I saw this in the shops yesterday, and it's brilliant, spot on. However 95% of the British press is sadly owned by the far right.

Seems freedom of speech on X depends on what you say. I put this on Trump's X account in response to his horrible rant about President Zelensky: "Rather a mediocre comedian than a shite reality show host. By the way, everyone in Scotland hates you and thinks you're a vile, greedy, orange jobbie"

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

What's the over/under on how long before complete economic collapse -- by design -- results in martial law? I'd go with 2 months, but one of them is Feb., so 3.

Those who follow me know I’ve been calling out lies & challenging misinformation for many years. But even at its worst I’ve never known it this bad. I know many are feeling hopeless right now. But that’s what they want - to wear you down & make you give up. Don’t let them. We can beat this, TOGETHER
