RESIST! You cannot love America and support the GOP at the same time. Our predecessors fought wars to save us. This is our fight for future generations of Americans. Very proud to be followed by @morgfair.bsky.social.

The AFP (American Fascist Party) is more real than Antifa. We need to call them what they are.

They want to overthrow democracy and turn us into a fascist nation.

The first step to defeating an enemy is to admit the enemy exists.

America will defeat the fascists.

Loutro Beach on the island of Crete. A small boat with a man in it hovers on top of turquoise water. In the distance, brilliant white stores and homes line the cove. There are no roads to get here. Boat is everything.

Fun fact:

The distance from Spain to India is less than the distance from the Bahamas to India.

Not only was Columbus wrong about reaching India as he thought, he actually travelled further away from it.

Yet folks still call indigenous people “Indians”.

Overnight, Ukrainian SBU and SOF drones struck several military-linked targets in occupied Crimea. Hits included the Feodosia oil terminal, where at least five storage tanks were ignited, and two key substations: 220 kV “Kafa” in Feodosia and 330 kV “Simferopol”. Causing major power disruptions.
