John Kenneth Galbraith's observation about conservatism is as relevant as ever.
"The modern conservative is not even especially modern. He is engaged, on the contrary, in one of man’s oldest, best financed, most applauded, and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly Put Marco Rubio in his place.
""There's no argument, there's no conversation about it, there's no need to talk about it," she said. "You're here, you respect us, you respect our sovereignty, you're in our country, you respect our people. Period."👏 👏

Joan Westenberg (@Daojoan) lays out the cold truth of what's happening around us...
______________________________________
The future of the United States is no longer decided in Washington. That ship has sailed. It's now dictated in the bunkers, private jets, and compounds of an ideological Silicon Valley, by billionaires and wealth extremists intent on treating democracy as a nuisance that must be swatted away. These men — raised on a rabid press that mythologized their existence in their lifetimes, called them Wunderkind and treated them as something above and beyond mere mortality — have consumed a steady diet of libertarian and authoritarian fan fiction and, in its throes, conceived of a new order, designed to serve their lofty egos at any and all cost.
The Internet was supposed to be the great equalizer. It was meant to be a force that shattered hierarchies and gave power to ordinary people. Instead, it enabled the wealth extraction and avarice of a cartel of overfed, over-pampered despots who enriched themselves in the name of innovation, bled the world to the point of near-total collapse, intellectualized their power fetish and now view public institutions as the final obstacles to be dismantled in their egotistical, delusional pursuit of More.
America's decline into fascism was enabled, supported, nurtured, and encouraged by tech billionaires and CEOs who are so far removed from humanity and human flourishing that they imagine themselves better stewards of our existence than we are. It was preventable. It is deplorable. And it should be an affront to anyone who believes in freedom, determination, and autonomy.
This is not an abstract debate or a distant concern. This is not a conspiracy theory, although, on some level, it is clearly a conspiracy. The authoritarian slide in the United States is happening today, enabled by billionaires who see governance as a tool for personal gain. Democracy is being dismantled in real-time, not through military coups but through corporate takeovers, algorithmic propaganda, and the unchecked influence of wealth.

“During the arrest that took place on Saturday evening, when Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told the agents over the phone that Khalil had a student visa, they said it was revoked by the State Department. Greer then told the agents Khalil, who graduated from Columbia in December, was a permanent resident who held a green card, they said that was also revoked.
The agents confronted Khalil and his wife as they entered their apartment building, which is owned by the university. They threatened to arrest Khalil’s wife, a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant, if she didn’t go to their apartment, Zeteo reported, and, according to Greer, they refused to tell her why her husband was being detained. When Greer demanded to see a warrant for Khalil’s arrest, the agents hung up on her, according to Zeteo.”

Look, seriously, do not visit the US. They’re going full fascist.
The EU should be releasing travel warnings at this point.

Oh man, if Europeans think what the US is doing to Ukraine is bad (and it is), wait till they hear what they’ve been doing to Palestine. Wait, what? They already knew? They didn’t give a shit? Worse?… They were (are) complicit?
No, say it ain’t so! But European Values™…

Do not, I repeat do not, send your kids to study in the US.
Not only do the outrageous fees you pay as an “alien” (their term, not mine) keep their universities afloat, but your kid could be arbitrarily detained by their gestapo for demonstrating a conscience.

Russia is the aggressor and war criminal.
#Ukraine is the victim of the aggression.
Russia started the war.
Ukraine is defending.
I think we need the magic of multiple repetitions of the facts.
Stop Russian terror.

Using Tariffs to Try to Annex Canada Backfired in the 1890s | TIME

Instead of compelling Canada to become an American state, the 1890 McKinley Tariff drove Canada into British hands.
NOTE: The article is 1-month old.
There's a lot of great advice on here, about what we can do about the current state of things. So much, that it's easy to be overwhelmed.
For me, it helps to summarize, so here's my attempt at a prioritized list - with 4 proven action items, 3 anti-patterns, and a bonus item I concocted myself. (Thread)
