There were about 42 assassination attempts on the life of Adolph Hitler and he survived them all. Just because there were several attempts on his life, doesn't make him an angel of goodness. The same thing with Trump. He is still an evil and a danger to world democracy.

If Russia is allowed to regain global standing in the world, and to attract new business, it will only continue to prop up their false economy, which they will use to continue to corrupt & control other governments, and to expand their own country outward, like they're trying to do in Ukraine.

This is how I see the state of global affairs:

As long as the USA & Europe maintain Democratic & left-leaning leadership, which supports Ukraine’s resistance to Russia, leading to Ukraine's victory, the entire world will continue to advance into a positive future, but Russia will have to collapse.

She truly was a dear aunty to so many of us from the get go. She joined me in warding off the trolls and provided us all with a lot of humor to sustain our spirits.

You just know she and #RBG are cheering us on and rooting for us to prevail!

she and a few other friended me when i began on social media when i didn't know how to handle my trump election anger. i was pretty snarky back then - i think that's the reason i loved her so much. she taught me how to calm my afro wearing stinking attitude angela davis down,

may she rest peacefully & take joy up there that the orange evil will someday fizzle why below in the eternal fire

Thanks for letting me know! I guess we all figured that was the case by now, but it's still sad news. 😢

Her work was a major factor in a movement that turned the tide at a critical time for the US.

And she was cool! ❤️

My deepest condolences to those who worked closely with her, I know she was family to you. She was much loved by all, and will continue to inspire us as we continue to fight the good fight. 💪 🌊

Democrats outnumber Republicans in this country.
I strongly suspect there are far more fair minded, non-malicious people than the fascists here, but not all are online so we don't see them.
So what's the tipping point going to be that turns a "concerned citizen" into a "revolutionary"?
Do millions have to die before humanity takes it seriously?
When has the government gone too far?
At what point will we have had enough, unwilling to tolerate Luddites who want to end the world?

When one person's rights and freedoms are on the line, everybody's are on the line. If people don't stick together to defend those rights, they will find themselves broken up into small groups that cannot defend themselves and wait while each of them loses the ability to speak, to pray, to live as they choose, the protections of the law and of citizenship. And once that process starts you have no guarantee it will stop short of you. That's why your help is needed.

If you're male, you need to defend the rights of women and any other possible gender.

If you're a capitalist, you need to defend the rights of socialists and anarchists.

You need to do this, not out of some personal saintliness which you may or may not have, not to signal your virtue to your in-crowd, but because the people who will come after other people's rights aren't picky.

And once they've stripped other people's rights away, they're coming for you.

Morning thought:

If you're white, you need to defend the rights of black people, Asian people, and all other minorities.

If you're Christian, you need to defend the rights of people of other religions and no religion.

If you're English-speaking, you need to defend the rights of people who primarily use other languages.

If you're straight, you need to defend the rights of lesbians, gays, and bisexuals.

If you're cisgender, you need to defend the rights of transgender and non-binary people.

I always wondered how so many people could stand behind Hitler when he was murdering millions. Now that I'm alive to watch how people stand behind putin & all other world leaders who are terrorizing and murdering fellow humans, I want to vomit. The world doesn't have to be this way, but egomaniacs find a new way to destroy the world while using religion to manipulate the weak minded. My heart is broken by the sadistic nature of those who govern our planet. All this torture for a dollar. Smh.

I put the question out, but no replies yet. Everyone is quiet tonight, even normally busy communications routes. I'll keep checking, and let you know when I hear something.

In the meantime:

Do you guys know why Aunt Crabby has been silent this month? No tweets since Jan 4, no posts on CoSo since the 8th.

I figured if you don't know why, you'd at least like to know she's gone silent. Hope she's okay! 😳
