Escaped USA. Living my best life in a "banana republic" with better healthcare and a mostly working democracy. Still fighting to make the US a place to return to someday.

Listening to this book On Tyranny with added "new lessons" related to Putin's war on Ukraine. The why's behind the war. Ukraines history and importance to the region.

Facinating look at why Ukraine matters.

Highly recommend this updated edition of On Tyranny, if you want to understand Putin's war on Ukraine.

The US Constitition was written by and for the wealthy elite... white male land "owners," many of whom had no problem enslaving, torturing, and murdering humans with brown skin. Fuck protecting the current Constitution. We need a new one.

MAGA will be hurting too. I have been fighting this fascist takeover since 2016. Not enough people wanted to hear it, so I got out and am now resisting from another country with affordable healthcare and more freedom.

Excellent book, easy to read practical advice.

No idea if the 55% is accurate, but I could certainly believe it. The same group thinks being anti-fascist is a bad thing.

Just a break from the news. Wearing three week old kittens in my dress pockets. Cause life goes on for some of us, even with the orange menace.

Total snow job of propaganda. Always follow the money. If any for profit company is paying for a study or report... suspect it is tainted BS.

Excellent overview of how the checks and balances of the systems of the US did not protect US from Trump.

USA never addressed the horrific crimes it committed against the First Nations people and the 12+ million humans it enslaved. The USA has serious PTSD and a third of the country is in total denial, rewriting history to pretend genocide and enslavement never happened.

Just finished Sapiens. Thought provoking, but a deep read.
Recommended if you have time.

How I wish I could forget Trump, the crazies in his administration, MAGATS, and Project 2025. Would like to get back to posting about my amazing life as a crazy cat lady in Costa Rica. This guy makes orange look good.
