This country is thoroughly screwed for at least a generation. People haven't taken stock of how much damage has already been done. 2026 and 2028 won't magically fix this. It's going to be a long walk.

I have been a history, enthusiast my whole life.

I’ve been watching America as history repeats itself.

This poignant quote from Anne Frank proves the fact.

The German Gestapo and Trump’s ICE are following the same cruel procedure to round up people.

If you can afford to do so, I really urge you to buy *Careless People.* FB is trying to squash it in the press; having read almost all of it, I know why. It is a seriously damaging exposé of what FB really is and how fucked up the culture and leadership are, inc Schmuckerberg, Sandberg, and Kaplan.

Those who have never empathized with people that have been oppressed for centuries are now beginning to identify with the very ones they told to just get over it.

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, dishonest, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

Noel Casler, who knows Trump as well as anyone who ever worked with him said today, "We have social engineering being implemented by bigoted and fascistic trolls ... It’s not only dangerous, it’s demented - and we are gonna be dealing with the fallout for generations. If we survive it."

Diversity isn’t a buzzword—it’s an innovation driver. When we create inclusive spaces where everyone’s voice is valued, we unlock perspectives that spark progress. Canada’s future depends on embracing this truth.

Decolonizing education means rethinking whose histories, perspectives, and knowledge we teach. Indigenous and marginalized communities have wisdom that can shape a more inclusive future for all learners.

Fiat is also corrupt & fraudulent, not defending either!? Agree!? 'Libertarianism' is also a fraudulent ideology, abused in its meaning & reality, it would become anarchy without government/regulations.

It’s a huge loss for the community. I’ve seen old locals in tears over it.

This is the same organization that just had 90+ (mostly Hispanic) working class ranching families evicted from Point Reyes so Marin's wealthy can pretend they live near a "wilderness."

I've known them as the Nature Conspiracy since 1995. They hired the relative of the right-wing loony running the big public welfare ranching op on the Aldo Leopold Wilderness to run their preserve and looked the other way when he let them ranch for free. Toadying up to rich assholes is what they do.

Elon Musk’s DOGE team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into the deadly crashes with his company’s cars.

Yet another reason I’d never buy a Tesla.
