"It’s time for the world to boycott the US"

"Under Donald Trump, the US is escalating violence abroad & repression at home while facing none of the sanctions routinely demanded of other states."

"A global boycott & divestment campaign may now be the only nonviolent way to force accountability."

Honestly, these Republican Fascists in the executive branch are reprehensible. I pick up my head from immediate work to see Trump saying it’s fine for him to have posted the most wildly racist stuff online and confirmation that RFK Jr. has been lying about the purpose of his 2019 trip to America Samoa, which he’s claimed had nothing to do with vaccines. Both Trump and RFK Jr. are homicidal.

"We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist." – #JamesBaldwin #BlackHistory

I keep reading Letter From a Birmingham Jail. Dr. King lays out the purpose of a protest. I can't help but notice how divorced the #NoKings movement is from those tenets.

If a protest doesn't have a call to action or a means of pressure to bring decision makers to the negotiating table, then it's not a protest. It's a gathering.

I fear so much of mainstream "direct action" is a way to keep us busy and feeling accomplished. We don't know any better because we don't have real activist leaders.

The Daily Beast: Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went hunting for dinosaur bones in the Dakotas with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to the latest tranche of documents released by the Justice Department. https://www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jrs-bizarre-trip-with-jeffrey-epstein-and-ghislaine-maxwell-exposed-in-files/

The trip actually took place in South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where collecting fossils on reservation land without explicit tribal permission is considered looting.

Kennedy, an avid outdoorsman who once admitted to dumping a bear cub carcass in Manhattan’s Central Park, acknowledged the visit while campaigning as an independent presidential candidate in 2023, when he was grilled about taking plane rides with Epstein.

Donald Trump is a racist.
He has always been a racist.
He will always be a racist.
When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.

He is everywhere you look.

Fediverse friends, can you help me out?

I've been an independent contractor for a long time. Now that my salesperson is retiring, I'm looking for work, and open to contract work or regular employment (i.e. "get a real job") in or near Sunnyvale, CA.

I have degrees in computer science and management, usually develop systems of electronic circuits and software, and have been the principal engineer for a startup that grew to about 170, and a project's principal hardware engineer within a company of about 130,000.

Lately I've been getting highly motivated to find work, and open to nearly anything that offers at least a living wage.

I think that I might be doing something wrong with my resume.

If you are so inclined, would you please have a look at my resume (here in HTML, with contact info redacted) and perhaps offer a critique? Please feel free to message privately.

Thanks

Maybe the New York sewage system should be renamed after Trump.

It's generous of Italy to have allowed JD Vance back into the country after he killed the Pope.

Steve Bannon boasting to Epstein in 2018 about being advisor to basically the entire European far right, including Farage, and what that means for crypto.

They got you mad at #MeToo. They convinced you #Woke was a terrible thing. And they were/are all great big pedophiles.

If you fell for it? Smarten up.

The exact same people and I mean EXACT. SAME. wanted you to stop saying the words #ClimateChange and they've been wildly successful, even with supposed #Progressives.

How about we stop doing what the #Trump / #Epstein Pedophile ring tells us to do, what do you say?

There are lots of satellites here in the southern skies too. But the stars behind the satellites are absolutely incredible! The Milky Way was absurdly bright! The Magellenic Clouds were so easy to see! WOOOOWWWWW
