@singlemaltgirl that is exactly what I am saying.. we are wildly and widely ignorant of important and relevant history.

@JV3MJD I love and follow Ron Filipkowski.. He is just sounding the warning that we should know. Know this.. our oligarchs are NOT going to allow Putin to be successful, in the long run.. they would lose too much money in lost trade. JD cramps can huff and puff all he wants to.. he is a lightweight.

@singlemaltgirl
If a WORLD WAR killing millions of people, is not a hard sell, then what is. We need to know history so we do not continue to fall for the okey-doke!! Rachel Maddow's podcast, "Ultra.." will teach us that this is nothing new.

@rpardee this brown ovaried citizen.. THANKS YOU.. your hat will make some folk quietly anxious.

@singlemaltgirl And when has it NOT been a "hard" sell?? The two parties pale in comparison to the cynical "I don't give a crap" actual majority. Look at this chart and know that over 92 MILLION DID NOT VOTE!!

@BrentSullivan republicans.. as they have been for decades.. will not do a gottdang thing to advance democracy. The other news, though, is that in the end.. unfortunately, NOTHING will get done again for the next 24 months.. let us get ready.

I post this again. No amount of phonecalls/doorknocks will wake these "I don't give a crap.." personal-greed WASP dumbcluckers.
We have work to do. And Kamala scared the bejeezus outta the maga whitefolks.. they know what is coming. and they fear it.

@Bix chin up.. for every Musk, there are several billionaires who will continue to support democracies in the fights. NOT to do so, is to lose money in the long run. As for cutting of Ukraine's starlink.. there are now mesh internet systems in operation. Necessity is the mother of invention.

@catlynne333 exactly.. trust me when I say I have heard that for decades.

Depression/anger crashed my immune system.. and, of course, I caught a giant cold.. at least it is not Covid. How about you?

@Spagesgallo1 @AskTheDevil
But we always have, don't you think? 20th century was waaaaay worse than this, because of the fights we had then.

@Spagesgallo1 Look for military bases to relocate out of Texas soon.

@catlynne333 good points all..
BUT... know the deep deep racism/misogyny of our history. Know the unfettered greed of our economic oligarchy. Know that the biggest group of our election.. did NOT want to know for greedy personal privilege, or cynically don't give a crap. 92 MILLION plus citizens... DID NOT VOTE!!

You know who really burns my beans? The judicial system that accepted frivolous delay after delay after delay after delay! Jack Smith did his best, but dang!!!

@Bix I have been imbittered many many times, being brown and ovaried. BUT, 20th century was waaaay worse! Kennedy Brothers messed with money.
Martin Luther King protesting with garbage workers.. messed with money.
Malcolm X.. after returning from Africa.. messed with money.
And you see where that led.
these are the most famous.. a WHOLE lot of citizens died because they wanted their fair share.. and we ALL paid for the "game of thrones" actions of the oligarchs. But we ALWAYS get back up.

@t_heislen there is the old asian saying:

A rich man... has enough.

@TrueBloodNet Not a lot in my current battery. But I am going to purchase another one.. almost saved up.. at least 700w/h. Delta River 2Pro, around 500 bucks, maybe?

@StevenSavage there are plenty to choose from. I have the ecoflow river, which I like a lot.. but a lot of others are comperable.

@TrueBloodNet heh.. hope we never have to actually use it.
