This place is nice, I like it, but there are so many that I have no common connection with.
I don't follow US football, & I'm not a veteran, but I am an ally to lgbtqia+, believe in social justice, kindness & our shared humanity.
So if I don't follow you back, this is also part of the reason...

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

Great.
Because the oil is deep and highly viscous, it requires substantial infrastructure to heat in place to get out the oil, which costs much energy and greenhouse emissions. Also, currently, much methane is released which is worse on climate change per molecule.
‘The Dirtiest, Worst Oil’ Is in Venezuela - Inside Climate News
The country’s “extra heavy” oil packs some of the highest associated greenhouse gas emissions of any crude oil.

Australia’s most significant military ally is now a rogue state. This fact should be more startling than it is. It should be cause for serious reconsideration of the country’s position.

From the Alps to the Central Highlands to the Great Ocean Road.
From the far east near Mallacoota (again!), to the far west with bad fires at Natimuk and Wyperfeld.
