Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

University administrations conspired over the summer of 2024, often hiring security firms with links to Israel, to draw up draconian rules to shut down all forms of protests and prescribe free speech, turning college campuses into academic gulags.

So this is my second year of teaching in a classroom in an elementary school and I'm having a thought.

Why are we talking to small children like we expect them to react like grown-ups?

I see so much angry snapping at kids from teachers/authority figures for being...kids.

Why are we doing that?

To all state law enforcement:
ICE and other federal agencies are giving you a bad reputation.

Remember, you work for and serve the people in your charge.
Treat them as you want them to treat you...
As for ICE, a bunch of want to be mall cops with a dictator in charge.
Their reckoning will come.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.
