They've chopped down cherry trees and waged full-on war. Riding the highs and lows of the leaders who've tried to Make America Great Again.
Make America ?????? Again.
I am upset. I avoid the news for a reason. It gives me anxiety. Or I get mad. Or I get sad. And then I have a very very hard time shaking that feeling. I'm on anxiety regulators for a reason. So unlike the rest of America, I do NOT start my day with the morning news. I start it with coffee, my kids, more coffee, some cleaning, more coffee, some singing with the birds like Snow White, more coffee, and then... yeah. More coffee.

Friday, 12 April 2024 By: TB Obwoge Did you know that Canada paid for the huge protests against femicide in Kenya? Well the did, the American embassy in Kenya is said to be the largest embassy the US has in Africa. Yet there was no outpour of concern when Kenyan women went to the streets to protest the rising cases of femicide in the country.

Lana V LynxPublished 30 days ago in The SwampDear Donald Trump
Dear Donald Trump, Hi. How's it going? I am guessing not too bad since you may very well be elected as the next president of the United States despite all those pesky felonies and what-not. In case you were wondering, though I am fairly certain you are not, I am doing OK. Generally speaking things have been going fairly well and I am very much enjoying my new home in Baja, California, Mexico. It's pretty sweet. I have a big place I could never afford in a million years just across the border in Southern California in San Diego. Real estate along with utilities and just about everything else there costs a small fortune, and my wife and I do not make nearly enough money as research scientists to afford to buy a home or live there. My place in Mexico is super affordable and the cost of living overall is very reasonable. Did I mention my house has an elevator! An elevator! I guess for you that is probably not a big deal, but for me it is a thing I never dreamed possible. I also happen to live right on the ocean with a private beach and everything. Really, it is a dream come true though it comes with some downsides which are somewhat relevant to the reason I am writing you this letter.

Introduction These are some observations with examples on how bad and evil situations are defended because some positive is found in the situation. I have seen Hitler defended because brought Germany to full employment by mobilising the military, by introducing motorways and the Volkswagen Beetle so that everyone could own a car.

Lana V LynxPublished about a month ago in The SwampWhy Are Black-Specific Colleges, Caucuses, and TV Channels Acceptable, but Not White-Specific Ones?
Previously, I wrote an article that sought to answer the following question: Why does it seem to be more acceptable for Black people to joke about or criticize White people than the other way around? It received a lot of attention, and some of the comments others posted under it were questions that I wanted to address in turn.

Lana V LynxPublished 2 months ago in The SwampPutin is A Walking Dead
The cover image for this story is one of my favorite cartoons by Alesha Stupin because of its symbolism and allusions to various images, incidents and facts in Putin's life. It is based on the famous photo of topless Putin riding a horse that is often used to illustrate his masculinity and strength.
Lana V LynxPublished 2 months ago in The SwampPutin Killed Navalny
Both men in the cover photo for this story, the leading Russian opposition figures, are now dead. With a span of 9 years, in the same month of February. When Nemtsov was assassinated on Feb.27, 2015, I could not believe it and was numb for a couple of days. Same thing happened when the news of Navalny's death broke on Feb.16, 2024.
