#Trump is now using rhetoric toward Mexico similar to that used recently toward Venezuelay: "Something have to be done with Mexico." He adds that drug traffickers could also try to enter the US from Canada: these are the two countries with which the US will host next summer's World Cup.

Don't get lost in process. Don't give credence to their invented justifications. Americans don't want this war; Venezuelans don't want this war. Only Trump and his billionaire friends want this war. The only thing this is meant to secure is a corporate bottom line

We're alive to love things, learn things, and make things. That's it. That's our whole task in our short bright flash of life. Love, learn, and create. The more love, learning, and making stuff you put in the world - the love, harmony, beauty, justice, compassion and mercy of existence - the better.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
