The Northern Lights in Canada are really the most beautiful thing in nature to see in the world.

Neither regime values women and girls. It's just men vying with each other for power.

Something i heard a child ask today really resonated with me. Simple question to his mom "Why is the President so cruel?" Broke my heart

Except the ones who are now dead. There's no successful outcome for them, is there?

Watched Izzard's Hamlet last night and had a blast, so continuing my Shakespeare movies binge today. Watched The Northman, which I didn't love, and now rewatching Coen's Macbeth, which I very much do.

Here we are watching military action unfold without a clear congressional vote.
If we are risking American lives and destabilizing an entire region, the American people deserve more than unilateral executive action.
The founders separated powers for a reason!

If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.

Oh yes. Don't worry too much. They will probably target Europe as usual, because of US aggression.

Jasmine Crockett is standing on business and addressing the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. She is willing to step away from her campaign in Texas to head back to D.C.

From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for β€œIAEA” wrong.

Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Yanis Varoufakis calls prosecution after admitting taking ecstasy 40 years ago β€˜ridiculous’ Greek leftwing intellectual and former minister says his indictment is indicative of far-right turn in western politics

This is obviously ridiculous but I dunno whether it is a sign of a shadowy fascist conspiracy (he is obviously a Bluesky poaster)

Farage says there was β€œcheating” in the by-election.

That’s a serious offence. Any interviewer should be asking him for his evidence, and asking him to confirm that he’s presenting it to the police or STFU.

I don't think in the beginning anyone truly realized how thoroughly OWNED by Trump the GOP is. But now we know.

"We had a bunch of people who bought into this bullshit line that Donald Trump would be an antiwar candidate, Donald the Dove, it was bullshit, the people who fell for it should apologize today or hang their heads in shame." - me.

YOU ME US

Two people, in nature, in love. There's something quite sublime about connecting in outdoors, under the stars, and it's a special treat if you get the Northern Lights.

Even though I convey a lot of space in my paintings, I also like to convey a kind of love that thrives in serenity.

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.
