The end of the "U"K🇬🇧 #SmallerEnglishEmpire sets a new world record for the slowest #slow_motion destruction of a country in history...so slow many don't even realise it's happening.

The "U"K🇬🇧 is a #Crash_Test_Country.

Sadly, we don't have seat-belts, air-bags or insurance.

Over ten years ago, I worked at an Apple Store and my job title was “Creative” but that pretty much just meant I spent all day teaching cute little old people how to use their new computers.

One day, this sweet little old man came in for a lesson (we’ll call him Bob). Bob wanted to create an email address so he could email his granddaughter.

We pulled up the page (let’s call it email.com) and Bob started to enter his info and he came to the username section and asked what he should put so I said “oh, you know, something like [email protected] but more unique because that’s probably already taken.”

In order to give him privacy, I was looking away from his screen when he finally proclaimed “I got it! I’m [email protected]!”

I was absolutely shocked, so I looked over at his screen and that’s when I realized Bob had become the proud owner of [email protected].

This isn't a cost of living crisis. This is an excess profit crisis.

Our climate, energy and economic crisis is caused by the extreme greed of the richest 1%.

Well, it's Groundhog Day, again.*

Ron DeSantis isn't the only one who wants to erase Black history. This is something America has been trying to do since the beginning.

If anything, DeSantis is emblematic of a much larger problem, one that’s not only centered around race but one that concerns the freedoms and civil liberties inherent to any given democracy. Recent history has already shown us what effect the banning of books and denial of human experiences has on a society, and we are steadily headed in that direction.

This is all right out of the ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) playbook. If you don't know about ALEC, who funds them, and what their agenda is, you should. Dismantling public schools and higher education institutions is high on their priorities list. Getting the population who should be allied to split apart is key to maintaining their power.

Without education, there can be no understanding. That’s part of their goal.

Opinion DeSantis is wrong about Black studies-
