Gee whiz, don’t you miss the days when the US government was more covert in their interference in Latin American countries’ affairs? The CIA contracted out their dirty work or had no-name agents do it for them. At least it’s as plain as day.

I hope California and Cascadia can secede before the US gets its nasty karma. Not all of us should pay.

    It may be bad in Germany but its worse in the USA. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, which has better transit options than the rest of the country. But its limited just to the city of San Francisco itself and maybe some parts outside the city. I just came back from a short trip to Germany, where my family lives. They live in Kassel, a mid-sized city in the north central part of the country. Even a mid-sized city has an extensive tram network and bus system. And a monthly transit card doesn't cost as much. Getting to Kassel itself was easy by train, though the train was 1/2 hour late. I am very, very jealous of my family.

    My serious answer: when I was undermined at my current job, which I'm now on medical leave on, and for which the prospect of returning to work is making me suicidal.

    All that equipment was going to Ukraine, which is also undergoing a genocide by Russia. They just happen to have a proper military, unlike the Palestinians. This was not a good move, and the protesters were probably coopted by Russian agents.

    His father was born and raised in Uganda, and it makes sense he and Zohran who spent half his life in Uganda, may consider themselves black or African. I’ve read that many full or mixed Indian origin people in South Africa (like Tyla) consider themselves colored. Indian origin people ended up in various African countries because of the Brits, but they’ve lived in their own culture since their ancestors were first brought over.
