@kellylepo I would love more real, honest people like teacher Bob Sauer getting their 15 minutes in the limelight.

The Swedish prime minister has announced that Sweden will send troops to Latvia next year as part of a Canadian-led force to deter Russia from attack – despite not yet being a full member of Nato.
Warning that Russia is “trying to destabilise all of Europe” with threats, disinformation and cyber-attacks, Ulf Kristersson said “Sweden’s natural place is in Nato” and that he would “waste no time waiting for the final ratifications”.

A nice trans activism thing I like to do is, whenever I see an article about a school or a library or something being trans-inclusive or supportive of trans people/issues in my country, I send them a thank you card/note in the post.
They're probably getting hate mail about it from bigots, you know? Maybe a librarian/admin person getting something like that could make a big difference, now and also further down the line.
NEW: Conservative MP helped draft text of a conspiratorial United Nations petition, author of petition says.
The man behind a petition sponsored by Leslyn Lewis told me he believes the UN wants to enslave humanity and modify our DNA to turn humans into a different species.
A great anti-fascist initiative from Germany is detailed in this article. They are trademarking the fascist slogans marketed by neo-Nazis to prevent their use, then using the revenues raised to finance their operation. Win, win.

Musk's investors Alwaleed bin Talal, Mohammed bin Salman, & Larry Ellison are fully aware of Musk's substance abuse & STILL gave him loans to buy Twitter
Disabling Twitter as communication for science, news, & democracy was more important to these billionaires
$44 billion is money well wasted to them
In an assault on democracy, communication is a high priority target
In WW2 Nazis ordered occupied territory to give up their radios
Ending Twitter has the same role for today's fascists

Hey there folks. Sadly, while tuning around 10M I just heard someone saying something about "fast cars and fast girls" while my 8 YO daughter was listening as I was searching for more Kids Day contacts. Please, everyone, just keep in mind everyone's able to hear the conversations you have over #AmateurRadio and so we need to probably limit the content we put out there. #HamRadio

There's a strong link between MAGA, international organized crime and gaming/sports betting/gambling interests.
