For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

We are often told of the complexity of German memory of the SWW and how they deal with it. No kidding! Fascinating.

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen
*Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record
*In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release
*He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

I’m fortunate to know one or two authors, some quite well. Six months? As we say where I live “aye right”
Deeply and personally offended by the insinuation that it takes only six months to write a book.
“If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who’s going to win the race?” God this is bleak

The media have never forgiven Keir Starmer for leading the Phone Hacking Scandal.
They’re the people who hacked Millie Dowler’s phone making her parents have hope she was still alive.
It’s the Media, stupid.

I'm always tempted to say something to this effect when I hear people making impossible demands. These criminals are not going to investigate themselves. We had a chance to stop this inevitable crime spree, but American voters completely failed to use their brains or do any due diligence.
Look everyone, for now no one in the Trump administration will be held accountable, no one will be investigated for their corruption or their treason, no one will stop their stealing and their taking of bribes.
The only way this stops is a massive Democratic victory in 2026. That's it.
