People are going to die in large numbers because this corrupt president and his corrupt friends think there is money to be made in the Middle East that they are not yet getting.
This war was inevitable, because the people behind it are monsters.
That is factual, not an opinion.

Even with this belief, I have noticed that I speak less. I’ve also noticed that others around me that used to be more vocal, speak less. And these subtle changes within us scare me of what the next few years will do to us.
There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

The right to say and study what we want is essentially American. But we don’t live in America any longer. We live in a foreign country now. To return, we need to map how far things have gone.

I started to put together this list after my students requested we no longer record classroom conversations about changes happening with the Trump administration. They wanted the conversation, but not a record that could be used against them.

A genuine question. How does one have a mature, calm discussion with people that refuse to listen while behaving and speaking like this?
The way Trump spoke to Zelensky reminds me of how my father speaks to those with opposing views and opinions.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

アメリカはどうなってしまうのだろう。私の周りのリベラルの友達は全く政治的な話をしなくなり、報道を避け、SNSも辞めてしまった。ただ恐ろしい事に私の親族の多くは熱心なクリスチャンで今も現政権を支持。そういう人達が実際少なくないという現実を無視してきた結果が今のアメリカでは？と思ったりする。まだ就任して２ヶ月ちょっと…取り返しのつかないところまで民主主義国家は崩壊し暴走し続けるのではと危惧してる。

On social media and at political rallies, Elon Musk has taken credit for leading the team that is cutting allegedly wasteful U.S. government spending, even waving a chainsaw on stage at a conference. In court, it's a different story.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Same thing occurring in Japan almost every year and lack of staff is often one of the reasons. Is it just the UK and Japan?
Politicians here are concerned about the declining population, pressuring females to have more children yet we can’t seem to protect the children that are already born.

Children like Sara Sharif will continue to die because Social Services have less than half the staff they need.
Errors weren't due to a failure to follow the rules but because the rules simply cannot be followed, only the most extreme cases can be dealt with.
