Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.

Beware of a party with "<country/region> first", "freedom", or "people's" in its name. Also, a party that has "socialist" or "worker" in its name could be fascist. See Germany 1920-1945: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party).

"The U.S. Supreme Court ruling left ambiguous whether enforcement requires specific legislation, or whether Congress could refuse to certify Trump’s election on Jan. 6, 2025, legal experts said."
Congress could try barring Trump from office under 14th Amendment, but it likely won’t

Released on November 22, 1968, the Beatles album colloquially known as the White Album "is recognised for its fragmentary style and diverse range of genres, including folk, British blues, ska, music hall, pre-heavy metal and the avant-garde. It has since been viewed by some critics ...as one of the greatest albums of all time." (Wikipedia)
