Where is the 3 trillion dollars that has supposedly been collected?

All Creatures Great and Small; The Durrells of Corfu; Miss Austin to name just a few.

In the US, the boos for Vance we’re muted and not even mentioned. That tells you all you need to know about the current state in the US.

I feel like I am living at the point in the movie when I am yelling at everyone to get out of Europe in 1939. What are they waiting for? Why aren’t they leaving? Can’t they see what’s coming? Anyone else feel like that these days?

I would add teaching kindergarten or middle school to that list.

Authoritarians need obedient lawyers, judges, businessmen, and civil servants. Watch for those who are complicit in the unimaginable as they were in Germany: Hans Frank, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, IG Farben. From On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder (2017).

Thank you being an upstander and not a bystander. That’s takes courage!

He’s thinking…how can I make this about me?

Get off TikTok. Get off X.

Who paid for Maduro’s capture? Who paid for the millions that went to Argentina? Who’s paying the tariffs? Who’s paying ICE salaries to intimidate and kill citizens? Where is Congress?

Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches, the end is nigh. Violent right-wing groups (e.g. in Romania, Hungary, Germany), intimated their rivals. From On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder (2017).

"Authoritarianism is the conversion of rule of law into rule by the lawless.” This quote from @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social is ringing true today in the US as it did in years past.

I saw a sign that said “I’m protesting today so I don’t have to hide a family in my attic tomorrow.” That hits really hard.

The athletes cannot come to the US. It’s not safe for them to be here. It just isn’t.

Mafia tactics.

If you have not read 1984, read it or listen to the audio. We are living it right now.

Is that $18 trillion going to reduce the debt or to ICE? Or perhaps in his pocket.

Didn’t Jim Jordan ignore a subpoena from the Jan 6 committee?

Why does Minnesota not have the right to close its own borders to federal agents or troops? Why is the governor not given the option to solve the issue first?

It shows a pattern of behavior on his part.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

I think NATO would get involved.

Why NYC? Why not DC?

We cannot have universal healthcare in the US because it’s too expensive, but we have enough money to run another entire country? We can’t have infrastructure or paid maternity leave or scientific research or grants for college.

Will the senior lifetime pass have his photo on it?

Where is the electricity to run and cool these centers going to come from without clean energy? What’s the impact to the local community?

I am hoping for abundance and prosperity for NYC and new model for what’s possible in the US. I am coming for a visit soon to soak it all in very soon. Best wishes, Mayor.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

I have heard that around 81 people have been killed with no evidence of guilt or proof of drugs.

Why is healthcare a for-profit business? Why do we have companies who profit from diseases and accidents?
