We don’t see many US products here in Italy (food quality being the main issue), but if I see any, I’ll probably do a bit of “rearranging”.
To be honest though, I think they’ll become even more scarce, for rather obvious reasons

Today was a lovely day spent restocking my herb tins.
I received a bag of gloriously fragrant chamomile from my supplier in Germany

When you need to be in the studio but you also need a new shirt - a little bit of sewing amongst the herbs
100% handmade clothing has challenges - it’s going on 6 years now of not buying clothes aside from shoes & socks - but it does take time
From the skin out, my designs, my needle & thread

Right after the lockdowns were lifted here in Italy following the pandemic, my husband and I had the opportunity to visit the Vatican while there were no tourists.

So I’m peacefully living in Italy, married to a US Veteran, and my husband has become increasingly worried that my posts re politics could make us targets.

Todays tisane - Mint & Hibiscus.
Lovely to drink either hot or cold, and difficult to keep on my shelf - everyone try’s it and immediately has to take some home with them.

When the official government statements are about killing people, I would hope everyone would start believing they’re Nazis
This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

Any legal resident, any visa holder, any green card holder, can be snatched off the street, kidnapped, and disappeared, if they don’t like their words - Freedom of Speech be damned
And then, of course, this will also be applicable to other groups, as soon as there are new laws they can “break”
And then, of course, this will also be applicable to other groups, as soon as there are new laws they can “break”
…so he’s saying every legal visa holder could have it secretly revoked with no due process and be kidnapped off the street?
Do I have that right?

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."
