I changed back to the previous plan, said to be $109 and called "the Classic". Then I got an email from them saying the Classic plan would kick in when my current plan (the one they changed me to without my consent, costing $169) ended, which would be in 12 months!! WTF?
I am currently reading it. I ordered it from my local bookshop in Canberra, Australia. The themes are resonating deeply. Oddly, also concurrently reading 'Master Slave Husband Wife, by Ilyon Woo. - another epic American road trip to find freedom.
What the actual f*** am I looking at here?

"...the NPC’s list of sponsors reveals the problem. Among them are no less than ten firms with links to the arms industry that is profiting from Israel’s destruction of Gaza, including four of the very largest defence manufacturers in the world – BAE, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Thales."

Censorship by any other name.
The National Press Club cancelled a speaker, Chris Hedges, who planned to address the mass killing of journalists in Gaza. The mainstream press didn’t report it.

I feel the same way. I can’t afford to NOT be informed, but I take breaks for sanity. A clear mind and clear spirit are important tools in this resistance. One human can only do so much in 24 hours with such an obscene, surreal flood of 💩.

Advanced gaslighting of the entire nation. Is there anyone who is still not frightened?

The first person to frequently use the word terrorist and label ALL his enemies as terrorists.

Was Adolf Hitler.

History never changes, it just repeats.
This is what ought to be happening in the US.
I'm baffled as to why hundreds of otherwise sensible, intelligent people at UN meeting yesterday sat for an hour listening to Trump's idiotic ramblings without stopping him (he went 45 minutes over time!) or walking out. Why is everyone in thrall to him? and still acting amazed at his behaviour?
He made it ok to act like an arsehole. He gave permission for politicians to not even have to pretend to be decent human beings. This was part of a global phenomenon to be fair.

Yes but Israel have been breaching international law for years now with absolute impunity so what are we even talking about any more? This is magical thinking. It’s trying to conjure the law as if it’s a genie. It’s saying something so that you don’t have to do anything.
Normalising war crimes. "Relocation' is a real estate term.
Resistance seems to be led largely by comedians, artists, entertainers and late night TV hosts like Stephen Colbert. I fear for them.
No, not asserting that.
It's not astounding. They voted for him BECAUSE he thinks like this. He reflects their views for Chrissakes.
They should build a wall on the Canadian border to stop the smoke coming over, that'd fix it.
We had an opportunity to do better after covid and we blew it.
It would take years, and by then we'll be in a different world anyway. There's no going back.
Public opinion has shifted, that's all. But in the meantime, we have at least been able to see Albo's true colours.
Love it! Go Scotland!
One thing trump showed us with unwitting honesty is that fundamentally it's a massive real estate grab. Colonial powers have done same or similar for centuries. It's the worst of human nature.
I voted for the Greens for years as they were the only party advocating real action on climate change. They seem to have completely lost this focus, wasting time posturing on many other issues like housing and trans rights. They are a complete disappointment and I don't vote for them anymore.
Hang in there, the rest of the world still believes in the decent folk of America, and we so need you not to give up!
