Fascism isn’t some high-flown ideology

It’s what happens when you shut down higher brain functions and think only with your lizard brain.

Hate. Fear. Violence. Cruelty. Us vs. Them

It’s the opposite of thinking

It’s outrageous they’re killing innocent people, but we also need to stress, every time, that it would not really matter even it were absolutely certain that they were drug traffickers. Murdering criminals is still, you know, murder.
The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

2 things that impress me about #Türkiye: tea & calm. Tea must be something Turkish people use as a reason or excuse to slow down & hang out. Slow travel = slowing down & seeing more of one’s surroundings.) Every mosque is welcoming.

Museum Day in Amsterdam
I cannot recommend the @rijksmuseum.bsky.social enough. One of the best collections in the world.

We visit military & war museums to learn some history. Turkey’s Harbiye Military Museum gave me the opportunity to add to my “Friends of Joe” collection.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
