Hobbies: reading, embroidery, walks in the mountains . . . currently mastering dyes.
Do least harm. Do most good.
Justice over dogma. Progress over purity. Truth over myth.

Remember how Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill -- and Trump signed it into law -- requiring DOJ to release all of its files on Jeffrey Epstein by Dec. 19?
Still hasn't happened. To the tune of more than 2 million documents still being withheld.
Carry on.

As long as Trump remains POTUS, nobody can take the US seriously.
Nobody can make any agreement with the US.
The US has become out of bounds.
In the long run, this madness will be vewry costly for the US.
Don't US republicans understand that?
Are they merely cowards?

Time and again, successful resistance to Trump’s authoritarianism comes from ordinary Americans putting their actual bodies on the line, when institutional leaders can’t even deign to use strong language.

I really don't like having to write pieces about people I personally know. But Andy Naselli's prayer for ICE to break the teeth of the wicked in Minneapolis was simply too awful to ignore. So here's my latest piece.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT…
We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.
📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

Former Norwegian Defense Attaché says the fix isn't reforming NATO — it's a new coalition with Ukraine as the credibility anchor. euromaidanpress.com/2026/01/20/t...
The alliance Russia fears isn’t NATO. It’s a coalition that will actually fight.
With Ukraine as a founding member, a coalition of committed nations would have the one thing NATO lacks: proven resolve.
