Blissfully retired. Proudly Northern. Leans centre left. Doesn’t suffer fools or fanatics. Love of the USA suspended until at least 2029. Slava Ukraini.
@sdrbraint10@ChiTownSports@springsteen My 13 year old grandson saw him with his dad and grandparents in Liverpool last year and loved every minute of the 3 hour gig. He has taste.
@hwinkler4real We went again yesterday and have been doing so for over 50 years (and also to see rock bands). The Royal Liverpool Symphony Orchestra is one of the best in the world and we are so lucky to have them.
@StephenKing Tipping expectations in the USA are ridiculous. Pay the staff properly and they won’t need tips. If a tip is appropriate, 10% is more than enough, unless the service is truly exceptional,
@hololiveEn@SPEERBOT@JesseKellyDC So, he’s “world famous” with 862k people. I don’t seek fame, nor am I a braggart. And I really don’t give a FF how many followers I have in this cesspit.
BREAKING: MAGA erupts in rage as the city of Minneapolis gets nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize amidst their valiant resistance to Trump's violent ICE crackdowns.
This is going to send him through the roof...
The nomination was put forth by "The Nation" magazine whose editors stated that Minneapolis "has met and exceeded the committee’s standard of promoting 'democracy and human rights, and work aimed at creating a better organized and more peaceful world.'" The editors further noted that while "no municipality has ever been recognized" by the award, they "strongly believe" that Minneapolis deserves the prize.
There is a compelling case to be made here. By standing up to Trump's murderous goon squads through peaceful protests, Minneapolis is giving the entire world a blueprint for how to oppose would-be tyrants. These protestors are putting their bodies on the line in an effort to stop this country from mutating into a full-blown fascist dystopia. Stopping Trump in this way is not only good for America, it's good for the world.
The Nation's editors pointed to the "deployment of thousands of armed federal agents to the Twin Cities and a wave of aggressive raids" as having brought "unprecedented state violence Minnesota’s streets." Even so, the brave inhabitants of the city soldier on.
"Two civilians, including ICU nurse Alex Pretti and mother Renée Nicole Good, have been murdered by federal officers, sparking outrage and accelerating a movement of resistance across Minneapolis and beyond," the editors wrote.
"In the face of these attacks, ordinary residents have stood their ground with nonviolent protest, mutual aid, and solidarity, confronting fear and authoritarianism with dignity and resolve," the editors continued. "Thousands have marched in freezing temperatures; communities have organized legal observers, delivered groceries to those in hiding, and insisted on human rights and constitutional freedoms."
They concluded by stating that "the world is watching" and "the actions of ordinary people defending human dignity matter."
We know how obsessed Trump is with winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Awarding it to the epicenter of the blossoming resistance movement to his regime would be the perfect way to spit in his authoritarian eye. Give Minneapolis the prize!
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Minneapolis deserves the Nobel Peace Prize!
