A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

There is a reason that, unlike USA, many European countries do not collect statistics on race.
Those lists can be weaponised when evil people are in power.

Get serious, Europeans. You are your only hope.
"EU imports from Russia worth €124 billion have exceeded the amount of aid provided to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion." - stated Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard.

It is impossible for me to convey to Europeans how much the political media in America want to avoid talking about this Trump/Putin attack on Europe. Nobody wants to cover it. Nobody wants to admit what it means. People are talking about ANYTHING else to avoid this debacle.

Imagine if Congress had to make due on the same healthcare "benefits" the government provides to all Americans instead of their heavily subsidized healthcare.
Imagine if government shut down meant Congress had to work the same as designated critical workers do with no/delayed pay.

They’re stopping it to pocket it. To cause civil unrest. To divide the nation. To bankrupt the farmers so they can take their lands. To weed out the poor, sick and elderly. And to control the population.
And they’ll still take the healthcare and raise the prices regardless of it all.

I was wondering what expertise Harrison Ford has about these issues. It's down toward the bottom but interesting to read he was friends with E.O. Wilson and received a conservation leadership award from the foundation. 🌱
I spoke to Harrison Ford about the climate crisis and he said -
- Trump's axing of climate policies “scares the shit out of me”
- of Trump: "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history”
- that the world is "teetering on the edge" due to the loss of nature
