Small title correction: it’s 1902 and 2015, not 2025.

Latinas for Trump

🌴➡️🧑

I give it less than a mooch. Probably the next time Trump has to take a very large dump in the middle of the night.

Your list is pretty wild. If you’re serious about #2, please talk to a mental health professional if you haven’t done so yet. And if you seriously put #4 ahead of, like, cancer or infectious diseases, you should definitely consider leaving for another country.

As for me, I live a relatively normal life in a relatively peaceful environment. I’d put my money on cancer.

Watterson’s art is fantastic. I love how the second panel goes haywire just like Dad’s emotions, with his arms going over the text and into the neighbouring panels.

Germany has some 3700 km of land borders, more than the US’ border with Mexico. German politicians and media have not been honest about the funding and personnel that would be required to seriously control immigration.

FYI, lichess.org offers the same functionality (arguably better) for free. It’s a crowd-funded, open-source non-profit, free of any ads or trackers.

Haha wow. Thanks!

Does anyone have a link to that picture? I can’t find it anywhere.

For those like me who don’t know him, he was a well-known film critic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Siskel

Yes, but mostly PoC so far, from what I read.

My friends are going there in June. They had booked the trip before Trump was even elected They have little kids and look as Aryan as it gets so they should be fine. But honestly in their place I would still seriously consider cancelling.

My library offers art! Like, original art pieces (paintings and sculptures) by local artists which you can borrow for up to three months.

Sudan, definitely. (And I’ve visited well over 50 countries.)

I do some volunteer work in a non-profit that operates globally. We hold an annual team meetup in changing locations. In the past few years we did Canada and several European cities. For a while now, the plan had been to hold 2025’s meetup in the US as we have several team members from there. But as it stands, we’ll choose a different location because too many team members have said they’re not comfortable travelling to the US under the current administration.

We’re talking some 20-30 people not travelling to the US and spending money there. Obviously a small number but as you said, it adds up.

Fun fact, that word is etymologically related to “placenta”.

Calvin & Hobbes still makes me laugh out loud after all these years.

I still can’t fathom that the US has a guy who eats roadkill and had a brainworm - the two of which might be connected - as their secretary of health.

Isn’t this also mostly about shipping routed which are expected to open up more and more due to climate change?
