Hi everyone and welcome to my profile. My name is George and I live in the beautiful city of Utrecht, the Netherlands. It's a city known for its rich history and the iconic Dom Tower, standing tall as a symbol of our past.
I want to wish everyone taking part in No Kingsday the best of luck and remind you to stay safe, as there are dangerous people around. My thoughts are with you. Greetings from the Netherlands, dear friends!
Trump and Hegseth are turning the military into a playground for their egos. Generals fired, whining about “woke,” and threats of repression. The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not a president. This is spiraling into something dangerous. It’s getting scary.
US soldiers are trained to neutralize threats, foreign and domestic. Their oath is not to a president but to the Constitution. By trying to deploy the military against civilians in Portland, Trump plays a dangerous game that could one day turn against him.
Is Trump really planning to deploy the military against civilians in Portland, authorizing the use of full force? I call on the people of Portland and the entire United States: Resist! Do not surrender to a dictatorial power! Fight!
Trump is preparing for a full takeover of the US. Soldiers patrol the streets, Democrats are sidelined, and the First Amendment applies only to MAGA. This mirrors Hitler’s playbook. We cannot allow history to repeat itself, this must be stopped before it’s too late!
If people don’t rise up and march to the White House, nothing will change. Voting won’t fix this. ICE’s abuses and absurd decisions keep surfacing. Trump once said, “You won’t have a country left.” The bitter truth is that with him in power, that’s exactly what will happen.
Free speech isn’t a one-way street. If you want others silenced because you don’t like what they say, remember that the same rule could silence you too. Freedom of expression applies to everyone, or it means nothing at all.

Resist. Resist. Resist.
Step onto the sand or into the woods, let the breeze clear your mind. Stress drifts away when you give it to the wind. Remember, the sun will shine for you too. May this Tuesday bring light to your steps and peace to your heart.
I actually do that quite often as well, Cathy. I always greet people when they pass by, sometimes with just a smile or a simple hello. It feels good to spread a bit of kindness, even if not everyone responds.
I find myself staying indoors more often and only go out when necessary, like for groceries or when our grandson wants to play football or visit the petting zoo. People seem much less friendly than before. Do you feel the same?
Disney brings Jimmy Kimmel Live! back after a week, showing how much money and subscribers they lost. The worry is if Kimmel must apologize or self-censor. Free speech should not bow to pressure. Stand firm, Jimmy, truth and expression are at stake, not just ratings.
Trump’s chaos roars each day, as if silence no longer exists. Yet there’s always that single breath, hidden between the noise. Find that light, however small, and let it remind you that even in storms, calm can still be found.
Happy Monday to all. Let’s step into this week with kindness, respect, and integrity. True strength lies in upholding values, not in tearing others down. May your day be filled with positivity and your actions inspire others to do the same.
Trump abusing justice to target opponents is a direct attack on democracy. Those still adoring him are not just blind, they only miss the swastika to complete the picture. Loyalty to tyranny is complicity, and democracy cannot survive this.
It was already dangerous in the United States, but now it’s shocking. Targeting political opponents like this resembles Nazi tactics. The abuse of power is blatant, and my heart goes out to Americans facing this erosion of democracy.
This is naked autocracy. A president weaponizing justice to crush opponents is a clear and present danger to democracy. Trump is corrupt, unfit and must be removed at once by impeachment, prosecution and the ballot, barred permanently from holding public office and held accountable.
This is our grandson with a chestnut he transformed into a little hedgehog. He’s so proud of his creation! He’s spending the night with his grandma and grandpa 😊. Wishing everyone a wonderful Saturday evening!
Looking around, it is clear people have changed. Values twisted, governments sliding far right, freedom of speech claimed only for themselves while others are silenced. I may not have the full answer, but one thing is certain: I will keep fighting where I can.
