As Trump leverages his presidential powers to prosecute those who dutifully exposed his crimes, he's pardoned the following individuals:

George Santos, convicted political fraudster and fellow fabulist;
Ross Ulbricht, dark-web narcotics dealer;
Enrique Tarrio & Stewart Rhodes, far-right militants.

Note: For some reason, I'm no longer able to upload profile pictures to Bluesky. Every time I try, I get some variation of color patterns, but never an actual pic. Sorry, ya'll. Enjoy the colors.

The people of Palestine, homeless and starving, are still being publicly punished by the State of Israel for the failings of Hamas, who have not returned the bodies of all Israeli victims of the 10/07/23 slaughter. Trump lauds himself for "ending the war" and paints a glorious picture of New Gaza.

Earlier this year, Trump and Vance politically ambushed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, dressing him down in a televised meeting. Zelenskyy responded with humble strength, and with truth. Thankfully, Trump has apparently been slowly changing his stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Israel has just entered into a ceasefire agreement, and is beginning to remove restrictions on aid (food, water, fuel) into the territory. This will hopefully serve as an end to the genocide Israel has been committing against the Palestinian people for the last two years.

Personal update!

My life: parenting; house chores; gardening/farming; attempting to create a sustainably enriched life for my family; getting together with friends to play music and talk.

Failing to include: civic involvement; community life.

Trying to avoid: google, facebook, and all that.

Putin's Russia launched an ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine in Feb 2022. During the Biden admin, US provided lethal aid and solidarity to Ukraine. Trump is now defending Russia's actions while Russia plays the victim, helping organize a "peace deal" in which Ukraine loses land & protections.

Communities are finally and tearfully reuniting in Gaza after a very long drag through hell. Pitching tents on their own land, broken by the heavy hand of Netanyahu.

2025. An unrelenting villain has pried open the doors to the oval office, making way for sycophants and oligarchs. Though many attempt to better the world around them, strength fades and safe spaces are endangered. Will the people band together and attend to their communities, or will we succumb?
