I don't have any answers. I wish. I'm in an odd state of mind, half migrained half stoned, and just had to get that out.

And the way to combat that is to make sure our kids, the next generation, are educated. To make sure they understand the value of education, and the cost of a poorly educated populace.
We can't afford to think that authoritarianism could never find a foothold in this country.
It already has.
Just look at Alberta, at Maple MAGA. Look at the green to conservative pipeline.
The best way to ensure what is happening in the US never happens in Canada is to educate people with a really high quality, first class education. None of this eroding away at public education like we are seeing in at least some of the provinces.
Busy day for our Early Access Program yesterday.

A photo looking down through a window at what i assume is protestors marching through a borough in Minsk. Text from Balarus Free Theatre reads, "Protestors in Minsk have adopted a different protesting technique and instead of one large gathering they are now grouping in local boroughs. This way there is not enough police to go around all boroughs." Additional commentary by Syndicalist Trash Panda reads, "LAPD can handle 1 10,000 person march, but 10 1,000 person marches across the city would cripple us"

"In the 20th century alone, it is estimated that governments with a monopoly on the instruments of force slaughtered over 200 million largely unarmed and defenseless people."
"But should the government forget this basic principle, the people maintain the practical power that comes with being armed for their own defense. The threat of tyranny and oppression is very real, even today.*
"A well-armed citizenry acts as a major check on the ability of would-be tyrants, enabling the people to forcibly resist oppression. In the [US], our constitutional system is premised on the theory that, in a truly free society, ultimate power lies with the people and not with the government."
I was pondering the nature of the 2nd Amendment with regard to Authoritarian governments, and came across this interesting read: bit.ly/42tutgu

We live in the information age, and yet stupidity and ignorance seem to be at an all-time high.

Galen Buckwalter, 68, shared with me his harrowing tale of being forced to flee the Eaton fire alone on his wheelchair through dark streets and fierce winds, dodging debris as fire neared his home.

I caught myself using "ME/CFS" in a forum, then wondered why i used that name when i purposefully try to only use "ME" to label this illness.
It's cause i didn't wanna exclude ppl Dxed w/ CFS.
But we do have a better alternative that researchers are starting to use!
"ME (formerly known as CFS)".
