I’m impressed that finally there’s some ACTUAL ACTION happening in America, because for too long it appeared that it was flying over everyone else’s heads! Here at home we have been yelling into the Atlantic!! “DO SOMETHING, don’t take it SO passively.”

The 🍊and Elongated have been ripping the piss out of the citizens of USA Classic mobster behaviour.

Challenge them ALL.

Corporate media has not been covering protests and rallies.

It’s also true that we can learn from our European brothers and sisters! Thank you. 😘

Yes I am aware that your main stream media hasn’t been covering stuff, but, Brian Taylor Cohen and Meidas have kept us informed. They need championing, promoting in America!

I hope you don’t feel like I’ve criticised you personally because I didn’t mean to, especially if you have been protesting against the shitshow that’s nationwide.

We send you a massive supportive hug from the Highlands 🥰

Not at all. I thank you for your support and for caring about us and wanted to reassure you that we are protesting. It’s terrifying and infuriating that pillars we have come to rely on (corporate media, “elite” law firms and universities, our congress) have capitulated and left us to figure it out on our own. (One person’s view, of course.)

I meant it when I wrote that we have much to learn from those of you across the pond. We see the way you turn out in massive numbers and wonder why it doesn’t yet look that way over here.

Side note. Many years ago I was fortunate to participate in a short between semesters literature course at Stirling University and absolutely loved the course and your beautiful country. Even dipped my toes, shoes and all, in the North Sea… in January… to take home with me a bit of Scotland.

Thank you for caring and not giving up on us. ✨💙💫
