I must read actually because for those still confused about what's going on outside US borders this OP provides the evidence of Trump/Maga's devastating wrecking ball to what was once our supportive international friendships, the Western Alliance.

The far-right Christian Nationalists, Neo-Nazi klans have become a hideous, brutal and ego-driven machine balanced on the shoulders of the techno-billionaires who in their hubris are hell-bent in carving the world up, realigning alliances and fashioning the global community into their own greedy, perverted playground.

I am absolutely ashamed of what Trump and his jackals are doing here and plan to do to the rest of the world.

On the other hand, I'm inspired by the resistance here and around the globe. PM Carney has been leading the way setting an example on how to deal with Trump and his endless rants and spewings. Here in the US, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago and countless cities and towns across the country are in serious push-back mode.

That will continue until these creatures are defeated and driven out of our public and private spaces.

Here. Everywhere. And all at once.
