May I add recommendations? If so: Adib Kohrram (start with _I'll Have What He's Having_), and 'Nathan Burgoine (start with "Handmade Holidays"); very different vibes, both gay men writing lovely and loving gay m/m genre romances.

Even the assholes don't deserve to be victims of annexation. The mistakes we've made as individuals, all the ugly history here--yes, it's all real, it's all bad, but I do not believe the path toward reconciliation starts with having the US military forcefully come here and kill people.

We have decades of watching the US literally invade other countries for what they want and they just did it brazenly, again, in front of EVEVERYONE. You can't open the news here without seeing talks of Greenland because we all know what happens if the US succeeds there.

And funny how increasing the budget for "training" has never resulted in anything but more money spent on cops, with zero improvement for the public funding that budget through their taxes.

That last part needs to be brought home to every fucking asshole defending inaction, especially from elected officials in the putative-opposition party: you serve (and protect) your constituents, without giving shit one what the other party will think about it

It's how Republicans have gotten here.
