Meanwhile, the US recommended against prosecuting Trump for insurrection because he wasn't yet out of government, he was trying to retain control and not take control.
Good job South Korea, happy to see a country with a "justice" system that isn't feckless.
Beautiful! Congrats on your escape :-)
Welcome! North or South island?
Absolutely. It's not a utopia, but it's a huge step up from the US.
New Zealand! It's not perfect, but with a population of only 5 million, we do a lot better taking care of each other. I live on the south island, so it's even smaller. We have a fairly conservative govt right now, just like most places the economic downturn encouraged a right shift, but the culture here has been very progressive historically, and the people still are. I feel much more hopeful pushing back on hate here than I did in Texas, and it feels like it's impactful as opposed to in the US where it feels like pushing back against a river.
I would suggest you look into it, at the very least! Leaving was the best decision I ever made.
You've done right by your daughter. Good luck on the job search!
Looks fun, I'll give the demo a try with my kids 😆
Find community. Meet in person regularly if you can. Just existing in community is huge, if for nothing else than your own emotional, mental, and physical health. We are thinking of you all from outside the US 🫂
There are no males.
Wise move. I did the same years ago. Prepare for some serious survivors guilt. The best way to handle it is to know you made the best decision for your child.
I was pretty sure I knew what a general strike was.. wouldn't any strike be more expensive than 2-4 hours of protest, and wouldn't a general strike involve much more planning than a normal strike due to the scale and breadth?
Also I was worried that generalstrikeus.com was too soon. The UAW general strike is planned for 2028 to get time to plan, because a general strike isn't something you can just do successfully at the drop of a hat.
