Israel's desire to launch an illegal preemptive strike was the alleged "imminent threat" that the USA is using to justify its participation in attacking Iran.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

My contributions for consideration for an Autistic Adults Workbook A questionnaire sparked thinking I wanted to share

NeuroDivergent Rebel put out a call on their Substack for submissions for a questionnaire, from which some quotes will be pulled for a new workbook.

I thought it might be interesting for me to publish some of my answers....

I see so many people talking about the 25’th amendment to the US constitution.

I am wondering — do people actually believe James David Vance would be better than Donald John Trump as President of those theoretically United States?

In an era of rising political violence, election reform can help lower the temperature of our politics - FairVote Following recent acts of political violence, a Quinnipiac poll finds 79% of American voters say the United States is in a political crisis.

Problem: Voters are fed up with our broken, polarized politics.

Solution: #RankedChoiceVoting lowers the temperature and rewards politicians who solve problems for all of us. ⬇️

Europeans paid each other protection money to call "dibs" on lands and peoples they had no legitimate claims to.

Useful article to understand how nonsensical Canada’s, Denmark’s, USA’s and Russia’s claims to Inuit Nunaat and other territories and peoples really are.

Using labels like "United States" or "Canada" for parts of the Inuit Nunaat makes about as much sense as the use of the label "Gulf of America". US and Canadian loyalists who actually care about sovereignty need to fix their foreign government’s official colonial language.

Too many Canadians are like US Democrats, trying to point away from institutions that they personally identify with and claim that they don't support the problem.

ICE didn't become a problem with the recent Trump regime, it was created under the Homeland Security Act of 2002.

ICE is bipartisan!

I wonder if this journalist is the one that Sean mentioned.

"Desmond Cole explains how the Canada Border Security Agency works, often in tandem with ICE, to detain and deport migrants, sometimes with lethal consequences."

I wish Canadians would stop only thinking that the Dominion of Canada governments only need to be better than the Governments of those United States.

Citizens of these institutions need to stop trying their identities to these foreign institutions.

Whether we're talking about the foregn governments of United States, Canada, or Denmark, we are dealing with foreign “white” nations calling “dibs” (claiming possession with no legitimacy for those claims) on the lands and peoples of these regions.
