Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.

Many self-avowed 'critical thinkers' seem to not think critically.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)

🚨Totally normal for the POTUS to pardon the president of another country for drug trafficking on the SAME day his SECDEF gives an order to “kill them all” in reference to a boat with people suspected of having drugs. 🆘 USA

On this 'Black Friday', let us buy only a minimum (what is needed), only locally and, if only available non-locally, avoid buying from corporations that support anyone who is working to weaken and destroy democracy. Well, this should be done year-round, of course.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

For 10 years now, Europe has reacted to every new Trump absurdity with the same response: outrage, handwringing, paralysis. We need to stop staring at the American car crash and finally start driving.
Trump serves only himself. Europe must act for itself.👇
