Greetings from the dog-eared state in USA. Here are some quotes from books, etc, in no real order. Respect for all religions, and no religion, and all people. But no DMs Sorry, not many quotes recently! I’ll try to get back to posting them.

Over my 60 years in and around politics, I’ve heard a lot of people tell me they “don’t do politics.” Here’s my response.

Holy Crap! I just discovered and then did the Math to see if it was accurate: The per capita debt in the USA is… Abt $113,000 Holy crap! Via Voronoi app by Visual Economist

A major United Nations climate report says, for the first time, that the world has lost its chance to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. That was a key goal of the 2015 Paris climate accord aimed at limiting the worst effects of the climate crisis.

Now, this article is pretty TOXIC for we who remember ‘Gamergate’ but it’s still pretty funny. The right blah blah is saying GTA VI is not aggro enough. It cracks me up. Also, just fyi, this game is 13 years after the last edition breaking way beyond release dates Oh, and it cost $1B+ to make

wired.comThe Anti-Woke Right Can’t Figure Out How to Stop ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’A subset of male gamers have spent years warning that the transgressive series has been neutered by progressive developers, but the backlash isn’t taking hold.

Hello!

It’s an unpalatable truth, but Meta, TikTok, and hopefully it goes without saying, X, aren’t sustainable to rely on for political amplification, cultural promotion/marketing or community organizing. It’s long past time for new platforms/means and to move on.

Holy shit. Every single Democrat: This is the message. This right here. This is the whole ass pitch the voters in the weeks before the election.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

When you see a politician throwing a minority under the bus, or using them as a scapegoat, remember that if they will do that to them, they will do it to you, it's just a matter of convenience. Either they stand up for all of us, or they will sell out each of us, one at a time.

Good morning TX, from the sunny 😎 coastal 🏖️ beaches off the Obama Coast (formerly known as the Pacific 🤭) There are shenanigans happening to our friends in Texas — over a 1 Mil voters have been suspended, so if you’re from Texas, I implore you to check your registration and fix that shit!

9 years of lives on hold. 9 years of surviving in the camps. 9 years since the largest Rohingya refugee influx into Bangladesh. The world’s attention may have shifted, but the Rohingya refugees' need for safety and a life with dignity has not. We cannot look away.

And what's truly terrifying is that anyone can pretend to be #ICE. Anyone could go buy gear off Amazon and pretend to be ice and assault & detain people. And we'd have no fucking clue if it was the real ICE thugs or imposter thugs! This is already happening! Speak out! Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Since Trump is unable to bring a receipt of Democrats rigging elections, here's one of Arizona Republicans caught in the act of trying to rig the 2020 election, by signing fake elector forms for Trump. It would be a shame to keep sharing this and other receipts...

1/ Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Anna Boch, a Belgian painter and collector, bought The Red Vineyard (1888) for 400 francs. It is the only sale we can document from his lifetime—a single spark of recognition amid years of silence.
