I couldn’t change my country so I changed my country. I’m an American now living in Madrid. 🇺🇸 The call is coming from inside the house.

There are. There’s the Constitution. It’s been thrown out the window. We no longer have 3 branches of government which function with checks and balances. We have an autocracy. And 1/3 of voters voted for autocracy while another 1/3 stayed home. And even if people vote again, we have an oligarchy now

Qatar is not an ally. Qatar was complicit in the attacks on us on 9/11. There is no justification and no denying the potential horrors

That’s why Qatar is allowed to build a base

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce American propagandist Alexandra Jost, aka “Sasha”. She’s best known for being paid by the Russian state to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda — and for doing it with a big smile.

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, they banned To Kill a Mockingbird because it “makes people uncomfortable.”

That’s the point!

Books that expose racism and injustice should make you squirm.

Silencing truth is cowardice.
Read what they fear.📚
