'"We understand that there were feelings hurt, but understand that Plattsburgh and the Adirondack region value you and we want to make this relationship continue," Kennedy said. "We're ready to roll out that red carpet."'

Again, American friends, it’s not about hurt feelings.

It’s about having no appetite to visit a copycat Nazi state run by far right zealots and making oneself subject to summary deportation to el Salvador.

Fix that & the tourism will follow.

Here's what Nazi Musk, Nazi Trump and the rest of this sick Nazi white supremacist science hating sociopathic eugenicist concentration camp loving earth poisoning sadistic medical experimenting administration are desperate to keep you from reading.

PUBLIC PROTEST WORKS (the bigger the better)

Our job is to reach and engage the masses however we can and to throw sand in the gears at every opportunity.

Same as them, but truth telling.

They started small, building in steps, 'finding efficiencies' as traditional killing methods failed to keep pace. Industry got on board and helped. The rest of the world looked away or offered indirect support. The victims were dehumanized, their lives and valuables stolen. There was no free press to report, it had long been crushed; the crimes were concealed by the regime as best able to the bitter end.

The sadists behind it all denied accountability.

LEST WE FORGET

One of mine is avoiding unnecessary consumer goods purchases.

This 10+ yo Miele vacuum broke at the handle. The man said too old for replacement parts, maybe buy new?

I didn't think so.

Some shaping, multi-purpose strong glue & a few winds of duct tape later—gobs of energy and plastic waste held off a few more years at least.

Just curious America: what made 79M of you think you'd be different?

A chicken egg thing I guess

Really y’all, it’s a good time to rewatch the Jimmy Savile doc on Netflix and think about Trump.

Not because I’m suggesting Trump is a serial abuser of vulnerable underage targets, but only to refresh on how a human lizard hides in plain sight.

And how it’s enabled.

Seen this?

It's 'antisemitism' to question or oppose the slaughter of 50,000+ in retaliation for the loss of 1,200 (notice these numbers are NEVER reported anymore in stories on Gaza?

That's islamohatred at work.

('Islamophobia' is a deeply messed-up and wrong word for it.)

A friend asks, how can Trump abandon millions to invaders in Ukraine then complain about ‘Canada stooping so low as to use ELECTRICITY, that so affects the life of innocent people, as a bargaining chip and threat’?

Kōbō Abe, who wrote thoughtfully about crime in his dystopian, edge-of-society prose offers a helpful point:

‘The cleverest thief is the one who pretends he’s been robbed.’

I’m Canadian.

I don’t want to gloat.

We all just want this infantile nonsense to end.

The midterms are coming.

Members of Congress all have phones.

You have millions of votes.

Yes, voting is crap, but so is getting in a lifeboat after your man drives the ship into ice.

Please, please, America, don’t miss what may be your last chance…

Want to understand what’s really going on in Israel/Palestine?

One man’s awakening:

Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

Wisdom itself is a minority.

A must read.

Thank you for sharing.

Humanity is all of us, the evil and the good.

May the good in all peoples prevail, and may its light one day shine from all as it did from this man.
