On my way to Münster for a photo walk.

Running out of places I can reach in under 3 hours via RB/RE/S Bahn service.

Let me just state for the record:

In the event of a conflict breaking out between the US and the EU, I want only a chance to prove myself a friendly party in opposition to the Trump regime. Let me and my husband remain free and assist our host country however we can. Please don't detain us!

Repeating this idea without the overt politics so I can post without CW:

All machines, literal (such as a jet engine) or figurative (such as the war machine of the state) rely on something outside themselves to function.

Remove that outside factor, and the machine ceases to function.

Your ability to stop any machine will be limited only by your ability to understand how it works.

In short, to stop Trump, stop war. You may have to get creative but remember, there is no war without civilian complicity.

Remember, all machines need something outside themselves to work. The civilian working class are the external power source of the war machine!

Just saw a protest against the Islamic Republic of Iran on my way to pick up some film.

Spotted in the crowd:
*Lots of photos of the US backed Shah
*Several Israeli flags
*A placard with a photo of Trump with the Shah that said "Make Iran Great Again."

I got film photos.

Oh by the way, I got my actual plastic driver's license card in the mail today, which means I can finally apply for a driver's card (a sort of government issued time card all commercial truck drivers carry) which means I will find it easier to get a job soon.

Finally.

So weird to see an actual EU-issued driver's license in my wallet now. It took over a year but I got it. I'm still here. And soon I will have the papers to go to work driving medium-duty box trucks.
