I'm finally done traveling for the summer - Spain and Scotland. I stayed off social media and the news. I feel like I should have stayed away. The place is burning down.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

I shared on other accounts, so I'll share here.
Read it. Learn it. Be prepared. Like Hitler, this history is also remarkably similar.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.

Ukraine agreed to a US proposal for 30-day ceasefire, in turn the US agreed to lift the suspension on intelligence sharing and resume weapons shipments. Russia state Duma declared it doesn’t agree to a ceasefire. But if someone lifts some of their sanctions, they’d think about it.

Trump claimed that DOGE has uncovered billions in β€œfraud, waste, and abuse.” However, no evidence has been provided, and all public fraud claims from both Elon Musk and Trump have been debunked as false.

If it looks like a Nazi salute, if it feels like a Nazi salute, it IS a Nazi salute. It's the second day of 45/47's term, and they're trying to gaslight us into saying Musk wasn't doing a Nazi salute... "He didn't do it right." "He didn't hold it long enough." "He's autistic." NO. Stop it.
