Went to the #gym for the first time in weeks today. I can already tell this is going to be a painful next day or so!

Seizing sovereign territory is generally considered an act of war.

A very bonny view east from the Great Portland St bridge on my walk to work - it won't be long before the sun becomes an actual thing on a Monday morning, rather than hiding shyly below the horizon #clyde #glasgow #scotland

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

I wonder if the US Congress is basically just hoping some other country is going to do their job for them…

Utterly deranged country you are running here, US.

This really needs more traction. You vote for a parties representative, so if they jump ship, they should lose their seat. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... #ukgov #petition #election
By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party - Petitions
When an MP decides they want to defect to another party a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their elected official.

At least a quarter of the entire population of Greenland’s capital marched in protest, waving their national flag 🇬🇱 and chanting “Greenland is not for sale”

And we know how a Trump administration would treat those protesters if allowed. www.theguardian.com/...

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.
