To my friends in #England, #Scotland and #Wales… WTF? Sally Rooney’s books will no longer be sold in U.K. after Palestinian Action support - How is the UK so deaf to global opinion and blind to what is clearly genocide? What the AF is up with British firms supplying military tech to Israel and British charities funding settler violence? I ask with full knowledge the USA is similarly guilty. We’re working on that. https://www.npr.org/2026/10/16/nx-s1-6004838/sally-rooney-books-uk-palestinian-action-support

I love the Nyckelharpa, a keyed fiddle that first appeared in the 14th century and though used across old Europe is most associated with Sweden - the country with the longest continuous record of featuring the instrument. It’s a centerpiece of Swedish #FolkMusic

Elon Musk says #Trump is 'ultimately' responsible for any curbs on Ukraine's Starshield systems - It is clear that Trump is attempting to tilt the war toward a Russian victory so his friend #Putin can win. This is an affront to long-held US Policy, to Europe and to the thousands of Ukrainians who have lost their lives fighting to ensure their sovereignty and lives in the face of Russian aggression and invasion. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/15/elon-musk-starlink-ukraine-trump-energy-ceasefire.html

I am really worried about a significant undervote in the 18-34 demographic. So many have given up, and seeing no hope have lost any motivation to vote. But please, remember this:

⚫️ Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, and are pushing for Medicare for all.

⚫️ Democrats began the process of student loan forgiveness, only to see Republicans derail the effort. In the majority, forgiveness will be back on the table.

⚫️ Democrats have vowed to contain US military expenditures & the Iran War - and will have much more credibility negotiating with the Iranians.

⚫️ Historically, Democrats have been better at managing the US economy than Republicans (who are known for their tax cuts for the rich while the rest of us suffer).

⚫️ Democrats are the party most concerned with maintaining, even expanding the safety net; while Republicans have cut programs like SNAP and Medicaid.

⚫️ Democrats are committed to our Democracy while Republicans are fascists.

Please VOTE BLUE

#ICE Planning $100 Million ‘Nightmare’ Domestic Spy Program
Under ERO ONE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to hire 142 intelligence contractors with top secret clearances and deploy them in cities across the country.

Nine ways the Trump administration could interfere with the midterms - I’m worried and you should be too. Vote early if possible. Rather than mailing in your ballot in vote-by-mail states, drop it off personally in a ballot box. #Elections #election2026 #USPolitics #USPol https://www.reuters.com/investigations/nine-ways-trump-administration-could-interfere-with-midterms-2026-10-14/

Leading Briton’s Conversation (LBC) weighs in on #Trump posting an AI video of himself wrestling a tiger - after a British man was mauled to death after entering a Tiger enclosure at the animal park. “He’s acting like a perverted 14-year-old”‼️Yes, he is. A national and global embarrassment Trump is… The USA elected a demented toddler to be president. 4Chan finally won, the bois must be celebrating with their anime waifus. #TrumpRegime #USPol #USPolitics
