Sneak preview of our own shitty future.

When Trump runs for a third term (which seems likely, despite the 22nd Amendment ) I fully expect him to try similar tactics.

“…true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. "Necessitous men are not free men." People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” - Roosewelt 1944. Still actual today and social media puts this “stuff” on steroid.

#DOGE - “The Doge of Venice acted as both the head of state and head of the Venetian oligarchy” (Wikipedia - Doge of Venice) - can you imagine a better definition?

Trump was almost impeached as a result of a Ukrainian-born expert reporting what he said to Zelensky in 2019. Shocking how few articles discuss he might just simply hate him and Ukrainians as a result of this.

It will be very interesting to see how Trump wants to be friends with Putin, make a peace AND still prevent Russia from selling gas to Europe. Maybe by giving as much Ukrainian land as Russia wants..?

History teaches us that human progress is cyclic. In Europe Roman civilization was an absolute high point. It started with kingdom, then came democracy, then a long authoritarian regime. After its collapse its achievements were not continued but a long dark age followed with religious oppression.

Does Trump think “windfall” is a type of windmill? (The piece he links to does not mention wind energy.)

~1 trillion tonnes of CO2 emissions since 1992 & the inception of the UNFCCC (Rio Earth Summit). ~1/3 trillion tonnes since Paris. As we approach 2025 we’re still acting as if we’ve decades to play with. The “not doable” of yesterday is now essential. We urgently need to escape delay & delusion.

Posts about inmates of #sednaya prison released after decades circulating and people are rightfully horrified about the brutality of the Syrian dictatorship. As a context some names Trump pardoned 4 years ago.There will be new pardons again soon. For people serving 30 years for marijuana possession…
