For #footpathfriday I'm using this photo!
We went out on a very cloudy day, assumig that we'd also get into rain.
But we didn't want to hold ourselfes back and hike into the clouds. of course, we didn't have epic vistas - but the mood up there was just unique. The limited visibility, the lack of sounds, the dim light.
I really enjoyed that day!

One of the great things about globalization is that countries start to get dependent on trading with each other, preventing conflicts and wars and normally leading to peaceful resolution of issues.
This is the biggest reason why most western countries had a relatively peaceful last 75 or so years (globalization obviously is not universally a good thing and has many problems of its own).
But the global turn to fascism and isolationism is starting to dismantle this system, making it worse for everyone.

Yesterday the Trump regime served warrants to a bunch of locals who were at that peaceful protest of the violent church where the regional ICE director preaches.
That protest is old news, the same event about which they’re trying to nail Don Lemon to the wall. Yesterday they came for both protestors and reporters, AIUI.
Light coverage here, which doesn't mention that they banged on people’s door at 4:30-6:30am with warrants and tossed them in federal detention all day. Just shameless, unalloyed harassment.

Dear America,
It is time to get into the streets and demand this insane man leave. Impeachment will not work, nor the 25th amendment.
Stop thinking you have to go to Civil War (or any further toward that end) in order to force your president to resign.
Stop thinking the midterms will save you.
You and your friends need to do it by popular, peaceful, overwhelming demonstration.
You. Now. Force him to Resign.

There are numerous peaceful protests all over Minneapolis and Saint Paul still happening. Driving today, I saw many at intersections and over pedestrian bridges on the freeways.
You don't see the federal fascist government talking about them. The local police are supportive, and our National Guard has been handing out donuts and coffee near the Whipple building to protestors.
We may have won for today, but the fight is not over. ICE needs to leave our state. Renee and Alex …
The most ridiculous thing re the US 2nd Amendment zealots casting gun ownership as protection from a tyrannical government is that being armed & in conflict w/ the state (with not just a monopoly on violence but huge advantage) gives then carte blanche to kill you.
Peaceful protest or civil war.

Here's my #mountainMonday from the weekend. It's been a nice hike up there.
I almost didn't make it out but finally went to the mountains.
By the time I came there I was really happy that several peoplpe went this trail before. Otherwise ... I'm not sure if I would have gone there without snowshoes to be honest.
Next time, I might really bring snowshoes. …
The rolling grasslands and rocky beaches of
"Vandenberg Space Force Base",

The nearly 100,000-acre base was a testing ground in the 1960s for early-generation ballistic missiles,
and today it's a launch site for satellites, classified missions and other payloads key to a new type of war: one fought far above the Earth.

For #footpathfriday I'm sharing this one again. It's really one of our most liked trails.
Even though it doesn't gain a lot of elevation, the path along the shore of the lake is all I like:
narrow, pretty nature like, absolutely great views, bends along the shores so that you don't see too far, and mountains all around ... what else would you need 🙂
My #silentsunday... Do you know that? You're lazy but you also know that you want some physical activity?
The weather wasn't motivating either. But I finally did one of my standard loops. It was indeed silent as there were almost no people out today.
No more than an occasional "hi". Besides that, no talking, nothing but a fox 🦊 in the distance on a field.

“Canada supports the United States…..”
these are the only words that matter and I’m sorry what? This is “our” position? No. I reject this!!
Canada has stood for humanitarian law and international peace and security for nearly a century.
We should be a “Middle Power” with values. Right? Wasn’t that the Davos speech?!
But here we are clapping meekly from the sidelines as the country that would love to annex us, now ruled by a Christo-Fascist Regime, and in partnership with a Judeo-Fascist Regime blows up people in a country ruled by a Islamo-Fascist regime.
We are basically back to the Middle Ages but with nukes in our back pocket.
These are the three most dangerous countries in the world all fighting amongst themselves. We should not be taking sides, except for the side of peaceful civilians of all religions in all countries.
This is not the way.
I am shocked at the shallowness, the naïveté and the cowardice of Carney’s foreign policy.
