Hi. I'm a Wife, Mum, G-ma & retired college lecturer. Loved politics til it turned poisonous. Language, birds & music are my things. Oh, and I'm co-writing a screenplay...it's pretty bloody good!

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

I remain genuinely gobsmacked that this wasn’t picked up more. The Alex Jones who *repeatedly accused grieving parents of making up their children’s murders*.
Anyway, “after the news we’ll be joined by Nigel Farage & definitely won’t be asking him about any of this…”
On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The US has cried “peace deal” so many times now, it doesn’t mean anything, & the truth is they’re no longer involved enough to have any real say.
By insisting Europe take point on the financial support of Ukraine, Trump has abdicated all leverage. The EU & UK are now the muscle behind any deal

Trump continues to betray Ukraine, our allies and US interests and advance those of Putin and Russia. If you are surprised or doubt it, you are a sucker or a Russia/MAGA bot.
Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

#CNBC is running little pieces from small business owners who are getting slammed by the #Tariffs.

I think this is the most damning anti-Tariff programming I've seen. Yet no one is talking about it. It is brilliant and should be made share-able

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”
