Five questions to ask the powerful:
1. What power have you got?
2. Where did you get it from?
3. In whose interests do you exercise it?
4. To whom are you accountable?

In honour of International Women’s Day, this is a small memorial note on the first woman to fly the English Channel.

That wasn’t about a mineral deal (aka extortion and blackmail) or “peace” it was about alienating Zelenskyy so Trump’s mate Putin can install a puppet and make Ukraine a second Belarus. This isn’t just Russian aggression, it’s US aggression and all of Europe (UK included) needs to cut them out.

First they came for the undocumented immigrants, and I *did* speak up even though I wasn't an undocumented immigrant...
...but a shitload of those same undocumented immigrants own relatives who *are* U.S. citizens threw them under the bus & voted for Trump anyway because "the economy."

Here’s a prediction.
In the US, a brown complexion will obviate the need for a yellow star.
Take a few nanoseconds to think about it

Here’s an idea, and I’m sure I’m not the first to come up with this;
Any appointee to tRumps new cabinet should be asked one question.
‘Who won the 2020 election?’
Any answer other than ‘Biden’
should trigger an instant disqualification.
Would save a lot of time.
I can dream…..😢

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he'll contribute to the global overdepletion of the ocean.
So give him a salad, maybe.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.
