Friends, I want to apologize for not having posted here during these crucial days for Georgia, which saw rapidly worsening repressions.

I had serious trouble accessing Bluesky :(

"Just Who Is ICE?" Can Anyone Clarify? Who Are These Incompetent, Unqualified and Potentially Dangerous Individuals? History Shows Us That Nazi Germany's Gestapo, the Soviet Union's KGB, and East Germany's Stasi Were Very Similar.

What is RFK Jr. going to say about Trump getting a COVID booster?

Nothing, because he and his family also take vaccines.

They just don't want Americans to have access to them

I was thinking our major adversaries around the world probably won't take action to provoke the US into war because they're enjoying sitting back and watching the US self implode without lifting a finger.

I have seen too much evil. Good people died.
Blood. Screams. Eyes of survivors of torture and rape.

Evil burned everything inside me left only emptiness. This emptiness fills only when I see evil dying.

This is no longer anger. It's something else.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

The Tories have today offered me a tax cut of over £20,000 in the event I need to move house and buy another one at a similar value.

Without really explaining how they would pay for it.

But promising some excessive and damaging cuts to services.

I reject this plan.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

It is BRAVE OF US to confront this regime.
It is BRAVE OF US to fight for our communities.
It is BRAVE OF US to move heaven and earth for our families.
It is BRAVE OF US to speak out.
