One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
oh!

Catch up, America.
Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

So we are going to require the largest marches and mass mobilization this two hundred and fifty year old democracy in need of rescue has ever seen.
Please, save the date. Make a plan. Make a sign. Bring a friend. Talk it up.
Be peaceful, and loud as hell.
No Kings, you know, for real.

The map for No Kings Day just went live with nearly 600 peaceful protests planned across all 50 states (including our flagship event in the Twin Cities).
Find your local protest or start a new No Kings event if there’s currently nothing planned near you: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Religion. Myth. Ancient literature across cultures. Like the ICE agents who eat at establishments and then arrest the staff. ICE is breaking rules about living together on earth as human beings that have been around since we first started recording, or passing along, any stories or knowledge!

The judge is also stating that South Korean society as a whole has suffered immeasurable damage due to Yoon's insurrection, a cost that the entire nation must now bear.

No, uh, Kings.
So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
Breaking News: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested in Britain on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, the BBC said.

every single congressional republican is (once again) wholly violating their oath of office if they allow trump to start yet another illegal war with iran
Trump's attack on Iran is manifestly illegal, another usurpation of Congress's constitutional authority, and a fundamental assault on the rule of law in the United States and internationally.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has entered the courtroom for the verdict in his insurrection trial, the most consequential of the criminal charges he faces tied to martial law.

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

This would also be true of any further US attack on Iran.

Trump claims he wants a deal with Iran, not war. That’s B.S. We had a great deal with Iran on its nuclear program in 2015, but Trump tore it up and then bombed Iran last summer. Trump is a dangerous warmonger that must be stopped.

Why is Trump planning to attack Iran again? We were told last summer that our bombing then “obliterated “ Irans nuclear weapons program.

for what - on what grounds other than presidential caprice? no pretense is ever made in any of the coverage that a casus belli exists for this looming cataclysm.
The US military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, though President Donald Trump has yet to make a final decision on whether he’ll authorize such actions, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN. https://cnn.it/4kGV8Op

The US is poised to engage in an unprovoked war of aggression against a country of 92 million, which will cause economic and political reverberations that dwarf the War on Terror and become a core factor of American life for decades. And these rats are like 🤓☝️ the polls say trans ppl are gross 😏
The Poll Realists only want to sacrifice trans people and immigrants, never Israel or foreign military entanglements, both of which are world historically unpopular across the entire voting public

It’s like if George Bush has launched the Iraq War but didn’t bother to even lie about why he was doing it, didn’t even try to claim what the goal was, and didn’t even ask Congress to authorize it.
That’s what Trump is doing now, and everyone is just acting like it’s normal.
This is not normal.
