Biodiversity is on a knife edge theguardian.com/environment/20…

The USA loves lurching to the right, 30's, McCarthyism, Reagan, even Clinton lurched to the right and then Trump happened, but something deep in the American psyche keeps nudging the boat back on course. I hope to God that correcting mechanism is still working.

If 10% of US Voters supported Trump it would be a political catastrophe. At 50% it’s the end of ethical rational governance in the USA. Maybe this is what USA needs, a deep shock to fix public schooling, housing and health care. Let Trump and Elon burn it all and then rebuild.

If Trump wins and leavss NATO it will be the best thing for Europe. It's time Europeans were independent of the USA for their security. The current situation is blatantly ridiculous. Europe cannot rely on a major ally that has collectively lost its mind.

“Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is ... in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers ....above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice,...which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea." Primo Levi

Utter shame on the City of London Police for not admitting to this miscarriage of justice when it happened. Millions of Londoners have their faith in the police eroded each time this happens. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o…

China goes to war with Europe over electric vehicles. When you dial the clock back we have Bill Clinton to thank for letting China into the WTO without having to follow the rules... ever since which government subsidies & IP theft has ruled the day. youtu.be/CfnZY7yQoCI?si…

If Trump is so obviously mentally unfit for the White House then his rabid supporters are unfit for emergent caring community. When half the country thinks MAGA, you have already lost your country, with our without an election.

Another day another Russian war crime. Putin's army is now using drones to kill civilians in Ukraine. The death cult nation will not stop until they are stoppped. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

54% of adults in the US have a literacy level below sixth grade.... that's roughly ages 11-12. In other words more than half the US population of voting age are far from fully literate... and they are deciding the future of the free world. This is a failure of all Americans.

To all those Americans heartbroken at the outcome of the election. There's a great solution. Come to Europe. We already have the things you just lost ...perhaps forever.

Putin closes Moscow's Gulag History Museum. theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…

Putin is in a corner of his own making. He is going to keep escalating until the West has no choice but to intervene. We have constantly failed to understand this evil man.

Why do so many evil monsters look like broken hearted lonely old grannies. #Putin

It is unbelievable that trying to get obvious art forgeries removed from eBay UK is so difficult. Even after complying with all their detailed request. NOTHING happens.
