The U.S. strategy document published last week frames Europe as stifling free speech and political opposition, and says Washington should focus on "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory". "The alliance between American and German patriots is the nightmare of the liberal elites – and it is the hope of the free world," Frohnmaier said in a speech at the gala. "Let us reclaim our culture, let us reclaim our nations, and let us make the West whole again."

Oil is the absolute enemy, and that should be completely clear at this point. Advocate hard for a Dutch style traffic plan and Dutch bike infrastructure. Push hard for mass transit. Fight car infrastructure with everything you can. Abolish free parking.
Every dollar you spend on gas, every dollar that goes to roads and free parking, is a dollar that will be spent murdering civilians to steal their oil.
Free parking is the most important subsidy to car culture. The more expensive you can make parking, the fewer cars will be on the road, the safer cities will be, and the less money will be available for the gang of thieves directing the military.

I've been working on this one for a while. The multi-trillion-dollar AI industry? Their *most advanced platforms* are controlled by a plain text format that John Gruber made up for his blog, and then bounced off of a 17-year-old Aaron Swartz, before sharing it with the world for free. *That* is the internet. Here's the amazing (true!) story of how Markdown took over the world.

"As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children."

Musk, his DOGE gang, and Marco Rubio are responsible for a staggering death toll. It should be reason to refuse association with any of Musk's products, but large death tolls become statistics. In the short doc "Rovina's Choice", Atul Gawande shows what happens when you suddenly withdraw aid that was saving children's lives. You can watch it for free to mobilize that "suicidal empathy". https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-documentary/the-shutdown-of-usaid-has-already-killed-hundr…
