My actions count, so do yours and theirs. We are society and we build our own reality. Take responsibility and act for a better world.

The White House and its leadership is putting resources and measures in place to increase waterflow from showerheads. How about vanity? This is made high priority, when parts of the country don't have enough water for basic human needs. Fake blond turf's solution: drill baby drill - oil, not water!

Any organization, entity or business needs overhauling and occasional scrutiny to function optimally. It's a tedious and delicate job that requires balancing and weighing. A wrecking ball approach is dangerous and causes irreparable damage. Such approach is devastating for humanity and the "us"

The modern EPA of America: "We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more" ... not so different from the obsolete view on climate change.

A Russian woman spoke out: "I don't understand why I should expand my borders if my country is dying out, degrading. I have no doubt that my country's soldiers should not be on the territory of Syria, Georgia, Ukraine or other countries"

(3/3) With decades of Western policy consensus callously swept aside, European nations must now do everything within their power to preserve Ukraine’s sovereignty and repel Russia’s aggression.

(2/3) The UK government is doing its best to live up to this commitment, but the US is effectively siding with Russia in undermining it. Instead of seeing its sovereignty preserved, Ukraine is being pressured to accept a lopsided peace agreement without real guarantees.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

America is bleeding power and influence around the world. Russia and China are laughing their asses off every single time Trump and Vance do something embarrassing—like today’s shitshow with Zelensky. We are a lot less safe with these clowns in charge.

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

What an embarrassing moment in the history of world politics. American so called leadership has just turned the Oval Office to extortion setting with media presence, used to humiliate the leader of a foreign country. All pre-planned, of course. This cannot end well for the Russia puppets.

The words betrayal, cowardness and disgust have reached new levels. Our world is witnessing an extreme self-centered exploitation of the weak and the ones who are trying to uphold what's right. The new dictator's club is expanding rapidly in the world.

The world is a dangerous place to live. Not necessarily because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing to defend right from wrong. Money and power seem to prevail and humanity is increasingly and gradually chipped away.

It's, again time to reflect over our world and how it has developed to serve the powerful. The richest man in the world is further enriching himself by pulling existential aid from the poorest and least fortunate. How sick is our world?

Tarifs. Hurt. Inflation. Everybody. No friends. Lower the price of gas. Keep promises. External(?) Revenue Service. Initially tough. Will understand. Knows best. Humiliate. Short term. Of course. So, who controls the ERS? AHA!

Our tax system should work for everyone, not just billionaires. When Republicans are focused on cutting taxes for the wealthy instead of lowering the cost of healthcare, childcare, and housing, how is that going to help families?

Accountability? Responsibility? Respect for the community? January 6, 2021 will be written in history books and will never be forgotten. Those responsible for that disaster will also be remembered.

When the world's richest man, who is also radical, selfish and supports right wing extremism, gets so into politics that he can halt the most basic functions in society, then we have to ask ourselves if democracy works as it was intended. History has shown what turn this insanity can take.

Global emissions are increasing and are at all time high. So are the deniers of climate change, but at a "higher" level, which I call corruption. How do we, the ones who care about our grandkids, behave? The trend seems to be to buy bigger trucks. Thank you Trump for the opportunity...

When the 20-foot wave comes, and probably it will, will Bluesky be able to handle it without major technical disturbances? I'm hopeful this platform will reinstate the true free word!

I sometimes wonder what makes politicians take stupid decisions. What if the US and Europe had seen the opportunity to finish putin's regim off and stepped on the gas, instead of hesitating and providing piecemeal aid to Ukraine. Moldova, Georgia and Armenia would have been "freed" as well...

With my power, I shall extort you. Your position, income and legacy, I can topple with a simple message of dismay, for my buddy owns X and I have my own channel. Do as I wish! Senators; are you representing the people or guarding your personal interests only? Any conscience, backbone or balls?

Benito Mussolini, Italy Joseph Stalin, Russia Adolf Hitler, Germany Francisco Franco, Spain Mao Zedong, China Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, Haiti Kim Il-sung, North Korea Augusto Pinochet Nicolae Ceausescu Idi Amin, Uganda Saddam Hussein, Iraq Muammar Gadhafi, Libya ... we never learn...

After dictators fall, which they do, turbulence takes place and can lead to severe consequences. But there is a fair chance that things can get better, like in: Italy Germany Spain Chile Romania But the damage can be so severe that some countries may need decades and centuries to recover.

Dictators and dictatorships can only live so long. The oppression, the total control, the theft, the abuse, the fear, the humiliation, the slaughter, the disregard for human right and dignity, ALWAYS come to an end. History books tell that and the free prevails. Putin and Assad: brothers in arms...

There will always be at least 2 sides of a story. Most times, there will be many more. Who is to say which side is right, or wrong? If we open our mind to understanding the other side(s), there won't be so many conflicts and deep divisions. For that, we need a backbone. That starts with our leaders!

We also need to engage with the opposing views. Most likely, we'll learn something, and we will enlighten others with our views. I dare say the majority of tensions and conflicts would get neutralized. Toss in some culinary experiences and BAM: we have a better world, at least for a while. Try it!

Human kind is too stupid for its own best. Rather than working together to increase our chances to collectively succeed and support the conditions keeping us alive, we think: Steal Lie Cheat Bully Retard Extort Corrupt Abuse Poison Pollute Over-consume Effective not efficient Me-not-we Fight wars 👏

...whatever you do, verify the information you get. There is so much biased, false and artificially generated information / misinformation, it's no surprise tensions are rising with increased volume of information. The strength of the Internet and the information age is its biggest weakness 🤔

It's been few days, and the people have spoken: Is the call for change worth voting for a force that will hurt your cause? Latinos? Muslims? Low ed-segment? Will your world get better the coming 4 years? The consequences will reverberate for decades and dictatorships are rising around the world.

From Twitter, May 30, 2024 History written today! Just because one is famous and powerful does not mean he can lie and cheat his way through life without consequences. Accountability catches up. Let us all make this world better, and think a bit about others instead of ourselves and our gains

From Twitter, Apr 24, 2024 It seems, as suspected in earlier tweets, that porn stars have more power in society than clowns. They are definitely more trustworthy. Can they bring down the clown to his knees, pants down?
