“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” @ejeancarroll.bsky.social

Join Us: Paper Clip Protest
Let's all start wearing paper clips.
During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis.
Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together.
Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy.
Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.

When will Trump and MAGA realise that Trump is NOT regarded as he and they regard him, outside the US. His bullying, tantrums, threats do not work - he is unreliable, inconsistent and he will NEVER be respected and as an anti - democracy authoritarian will NEVER win the Nobel Peace Prize.

There was undoubtedly shade in the opening comments announcing this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner - “promoting democracy”.
It’s not just about a peace deal, it’s a 360 consideration, Trump doesn’t understand that.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall near Trump today. Maybe today is karma

The key in this article is the ‘promotion of fellowship amongst nations.. promoting academics and science’ , which is why Trump will never win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Could Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize today?

Donald Trump has said several times that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize but experts are not sure he'll receive the prestigious honour.

Is there a Constitution? Seems it’s just a piece of paper these days.

Too late I’m afraid. Every day is another brick in the wall. In any other civilised free country, Trump would have been out long ago. Simple fact is when it comes down to defending freedom and democracy America was found sadly wanting and not up to the task.

This is the problem - America is now regarded as a ‘flawed democracy’ as opposed to a ‘full democracy’ in 2016. There are NO free and fair elections forthcoming in 26 or 28, this is what Trump’s use of the NG is the strategic start of and use of the term insurrection and democrats are terrorists.

Dear America

Be careful this weekend and early next week. The Nobel Peace Prize is announced on Friday and he’s going to kick off.

Be careful when it kicks off no matter what. If you can beat us you can beat him.

Hold the line, hold your beliefs and hold your freedoms.

You can put as many Union Jacks up as you want. Spray as much racist graffiti as you want. You will never make me change my mind or who I am.
If you want to be a racist, bigoted, closed mind,incel, inadequate…… good luck with that.
