I was speaking to a Nicaraguan co-worker a few days ago about the current situation in Nicaragua and the general geopolitical situation in Latin America as whole. She seems to be in her 50s so I ask about her memories regarding the Contras and Sandinistas. I shit you not, she actually spoke positively about the Contras; she said if the Contras were around today, Nicaragua wouldn’t be in the situation that it is today. She goes on to say that her dad was falsely accused of being a member of the Contras.

While I understand that the situation with her dad may have traumatized her, it is mind-boggling that she praised the U.S.-funded death squads.

This far from a solution but the thing I do is do a quick search for it on a search engine and look for websites makes a list of the best ones you can buy at the moment. Here’s an example: I search for “best hiking shoes for national parks” and many outdoor-focused gear websites will recommend shoes from brands like Columbia and Merrell.

Child sick, buy some medicine

Your sick, buy some medicine

How about providing free health insurance at no cost to the employee and access to child care services also at no cost? Or would be socialism?

Yes, the US does evil shit in the Middle East. Killing brown-skinned practitioners of the other Abrahamic religion overseas is an American tradition.

That still doesn’t change the fact that China is persecuting Uyghurs in the Xinjiang province.

You can’t shit-talk one authoritarian state and cheer on another.

Remember folks, not everything has to generate a profit. Things can exist simply to just exist.

I already said this a couple months but Shitter (I refused to call it by that letter) has become a cheap knockoff of Stormfront.

Should the illegal embargo against my ancestral homeland be lifted? Yes.

Will it be lifted? Most likely, no

I know that many instances here don’t see eye-to-eye politically but I think we can all agree that the U.S. has no right impose an embargo against Cuba simply because they don’t like its government. Cuba has the right to determine its own destiny. The same applies to Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. Lets end these relics of colonalism and imperalism once and for all.

Story idea: Lovecraftian horror but from a fish’s perspective and instead of “cosmic horror”, it’s “terrarian horror.”

Meta trying to introduce American-style free market lobbying to the EU. Why am I not surprised.

Mao theme intensifies

Jokes aside, housing should be one those “essential money pits” because it’s a place of shelter not some stock on the NYSE. Housing is a human right that we all should have access to.

Finally, someone that understands my… “interests”

A reminder to not buy “smart” home appliances unless you can self-host it’s internet connectivity or its “smart” features are optional.
