Dear people of the US, guy from Germany here. Just a few thoughts from a country that once was ruled by a Nazi Führer.
If your Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) only enforces terror and injustice against unwanted minorities - it becomes the Gestapo.
If the National Guard only guards a dictator's interests - it becomes the SS.
If the president only presides over a repressive regime - he becomes a Führer.
It's as simple as that.
Rise up. Resist.
Before it's too late.

Dizzy?
Came out of the bathroom, tripped on something (my feet?) staggered across the hallway and into the bedroom door, somehow I had turned around, backwards and saved myself from falling by grabbing the door frame!
Think I'll change my name to Warren - Warren Idiot.
Let's Make Hope Normal Again - Green Party Political Broadcast
A message from Zack Polanski, the new leader of the Green Party of England and Wales
Naturally, our legacy media is unlikely to pick this up as there's no hate or kicking down

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Close Encounters
Love this film!
It was the year of the Great Darkness. Chameo, the Lord of DarkSky, became ever more erratic. His followers grew uneasy. Many were seen in the free fields of the Mastodonians, setting up temporary tents, talking to each other about the decline of DarkSky and occasionally asking a Mastodonian passer-by about life in the free fields.
What shall we do about the visitors from DarkSky, one of the knights asked the Lady Joan Mastodon.
Let them find their own way, she said. Most will return to Chameo, their souls are bound to the Great Algo, even if they don't know it themselves. But some will stay.
Those who stay will be welcome, make sure to help them settle. Those who wish to leave we shall not stop. We need not worry either way. Our task is unchanged: to make free expression resonate. Go, plant your hashtags now.

Brain dead tonight
I charge my car at 2 kilowatts per hour, at £0.25 kWh.
How long before I save money If I spend £1000 to get charging at 7 kWh at £0.07 kWh at 6 hours per day
I now have to convince "the boss" that the investment should be made.
I support #PalestineAction
Anyone who boosts this post is breaking the law of the United Kingdom
So don't do that

The Girls will come over for their autumn visit, Roamer, my Lady Joan said to me. I'll be in the kitchen all day. Feasts don't cook themselves. I shan't be tooting for a while.
She must have noticed my surprise.
Yes, Roamer, no toots from me until the Girls are here and the soup is on the table.
She stood up and raised her voice a little, as was her wont when she declared matters of principle. Three things are needed to fight the Great Algo: good toots, good hashtags, and quality meals shared with our friends. Don't forget the meals, Roamer. Don't forget the soup and the stew.

Royal Highness / Highness
How do I know who to address as Royal Highness as opposed to Highness?
Or do I just say "oy, tax avoider"?
Well, this is interesting;
Defend Our Juries have set the Police (and behind them the Govt.) a real test in the wake of today's terrorist attack on a Synagogue in Manchester; focus your resources on the likely targets of terrorism, or use the police to arrest peaceful demonstrators in Central London.
You could not have a starker demonstration (pun intended) of how the proscription of Palestine Action has gone wrong (both practically & politically)

The difference between real terrorism and trumped up terrorism has never been more clear.
Will the Labour government face facts? Somehow, I doubt it. Every road of late in mainstream politics seems to be leading to police states and authoritarianism.
If I take a historical view, then present day democracies respond to change just about as well as the monarchies they took power from.

It's true that Zack was previously a member of another party but he did leave the Lib-Dems back in 2017 so more like he disembarked rather than jumped ship.
I certainly did jump ship in 2023 from Starmer's Labour to the Greens

in reply to Steve • • •IMHO Greens represent an aggregation of jumbled aspirations, mainly good intentions. What I feel it doesn’t need is a colourful egotist rather than the considered pragmatism that Lucas applied.
Currently I’m not a member of any party.

in reply to CAFCA47 • • •Farage craves & achieves a measure of popularity.
Davey pranks & alienates those who might seriously consider his party.
Polanski deludes himself that he rules the world.
Starmer, Badenoch & Flynn lose the room through irrelevance & error.
