#SilentSunday Still hanging on

The year is 2003

A republican is in the White House because democrats lost an easily winnable election against an imbecile

Republicans waste no time cutting taxes for billionaires, gutting social services, and expanding the military

Citing God and Christianity, and at Israel’s urging, the GOP President illegally invades a sovereign nation on made up lies about weapons that never existed

The year is 2026

Too late for Silent Sunday but the birds are happy!
Appalling. In our name:
"‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks.
Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end."

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks

Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone’

Highly recommend, esp. for Americans in our present situation: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/10/the-swedish-connection-film-review-netflix

A genial, lightly comic portrait of Gösta Engzell, the unlikely civil servant who outmanoeuvred Nazi bureaucracy with paperwork
