I don’t think the Hispanic vote will
be a hold for the GOP
At this point, they and everyone else
knows, we can’t continue with goon
squads abducting people and engaging
in all imaginable misconduct during
these so called raids.
It’s super depressing, and the GOP
is responsible for doing it.

I used to live on the shores of Oneida Lake in Upstate New York
The lake is so large it creates a light
sink over the lake, and you can see
the brilliant stars in the sky so
clear they look like little light bulbs.
Western Maine: same thing.
Super low or no light interference.

This sounds like a threat to me.
You don’t just casually tell Australians
they’re going to β€œburn” when you
have a vast network of agents in
country who are well able to start
fires that 100% will kill people.
And Israelis are known for doing
operations like that.

Young people in teh US are in a dilemma:
Stay in the States and try to change
things, knowing you can’t save, get an
education or healthcare, purchase a
home, own a business
~Or~
Emigrate to a country where the
government isn’t trying quite so
hard to destroy you.

*There are several such countries

There’s Something Very Dark Happening to Millennials and Gen Z Adults America is not a good place to be an early adult.

The Reagan Revolution inside the GOP and the neoliberal takeover of the Democratic Party ended up together creating policies that immiserated the post-Boomer generations β€” and many of these stats reflect that horrible reality.

"It is a famine.Β The Gaza Famine.

It is a famine that we could have prevented if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.

Everyone owns this. The #GazaFamine is the world’s famine."

And yet still the White West mugs every single voter off.

I’m in Upstate NY and the same thing
has happened here.
Certain areas were plastered with
Trump paraphernalia, and almost
all of it is gone now.
Some of these were huge, impressive
displays that must have taken a lot
of time and effort to install.

β€œQuite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it?

I love Philip K. Dick.
I’ve read 12 of his books.
I also love the movie Blade Runner.
I remember when it first came out.
All of us art students were so thrilled.

There are about 3000 belugas that congregate every year at the mouth of the Churchill river where it empties into Hudson Bay. It’s always such a treat to see them, especially on such a beautiful day. 🌿🦊🐳
