Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited.
It was a closed door meeting and there’s been no announcement of outcome but with both Australia and Japan in attendance we seem to be seeing a new alliance forming.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

The Democrats are doing an amazing job at traditional American politics except MAGA is working on flipping the board over and ending American politics altogether.
Traditional American politics depend on the presumption of a next election and MAGA is counting on there being no next election.

I am getting really tired of Democrat talking heads saying "Let the GOP sink themselves for the next election".
Yes what the GOP is doing will be super unpopular, but unless you start fighting now, there won't *be* a next election; not one that's fair.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now.
So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof!
1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing.
2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

The best people you can learn from about love — and I mean this sincerely— are aros. the aromantic community will show you that you’ve been taught to treat romantic love as a hierarchy and capitalistic exchange of power, and that all bonds, all relationships, are valuable.

Like many Americans - especially married women - I do not have a US passport and my birth certificate does not match my REAL ID. If passed as is, the “SAVE” act would prevent me from voting.
This is an attempt to stop poor people, women, and trans and nonbinary folk from voting.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

Part of thriving under collapse has to be to mourn the life that you thought you'd be able to live.
That will take a while. Most of us are not there yet.
