A few years ago, on a 🇺🇸-funded project we called all our climate work, which was mostly solar-powered technology “energy” as “climate” was a bad word.

"We need a united European security and defense policy." "If it takes 5% of GDP to cover defense, so be it 5%."
"There is no need to play with people's emotions that defense should be compensated at the expense of medicines, pensions, anything else. That's really not fair." - Zelenskyy

The price of eggs have increased since Trump took office, in some places by as much as $2. Trump also scrapped an executive order that lowered the prices of medication obtained through Medicare and Medicaid.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words.
While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

A lot of folks I know have read On Tyranny, and you should. Also, I highly recommend that you also read On Freedom. We need to do more than resist what's wrong. We need to build a free society. And we have to be doing both all the time.
A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.
