I wrote nearly 500 words and still ended up with 1000 less words than when I started it's fine it's fine it's totally fine

Sending you love and well-wishes ❤️

This one was for me

Since there are a lot of people insisting that protests don't matter and the Trumpists can simply ignore public opinion: I just wrote about why this idea that authoritarian regimes are impervious to public pressure is very wrong and basically just perpetuates the regime's assertion of inevitability:

Posting ask if the United States invented racism is easily the most ignorant, most unbearably stupid, most obliviously self-aggrandizing thing (some, not all) Europeans in the political commentary space do.

Exactly!! I don't know why they think this is any different or that we're concerned about their opinions at all! I'm literally only concerned about how our governments interact, but that's also being superseded by literally everything happening within our borders

Italy has been run by a fascist for such a long time, they're running out of young people. France almost elected one. Britain is letting a children's author with a genitalia obsession dictate national law. Glass houses, babes

Oh wow I thought all the horrible stuff happening to people in my country was fine until I learned Europeans would say mean things

Happy Birthday!!! 🎈🎉
