One in five Americans age 50 and over has no retirement savings, and 61% of Americans are worried they won’t have enough money to support themselves in retirement, according to an AARP survey published last April.
I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

Ok kids, I hope everyone is ready for tomorrow's protests, because when future generations ask what you did to fight the fascists, you don't want to say you hid at home while others stood up for your rights. Remember, this is a peaceful protest, but fascists aren't known for being peaceful. Please protest with friends, as there is safety in numbers. Wear long sleeves and eyeglasses or sunglasses - anything that will protect your skin and eyes in case the authorities decide to riot. I also recommend boots, especially steel-toed ones, in case you need to defend yourself. If things get heated, it's okay for you to leave if you feel unsafe; just be sure not to leave alone, as I said, there is safety in numbers. I hope we all have a good day tomorrow, and after the protest, maybe I will see you at the Eid celebration on Jones Street. Be safe, everyone!

My uncle, Nam Si Uk, died today. He was the editor in chief of the Dong A Il Bo in 1987 when they exclusively reported the death of the student activist Park Jong Chul. That was a badass decision on his part, considering he'd been arrested for doing much less as a young reporter during the Park Chung Hee regime in the 1960s. He was a real journalist when it counted.
I was proud to be his niece, and I'm going to remember his example as we #fightfascism in the United States today. #southkorea
You know you live in a democracy when the head of the far-right and would-be presidential candidate is convicted along with a few henchmen for misappropriation of public funds. The court sentenced the former presidential candidate to four years' imprisonment, two of which were suspended, a fine of €100,000 and five years' ineligibility, to be served immediately. The party was also fined €2 million, including a €1 million fine.

It's time for Europeans, especially the UK, to stop tiptoeing through the tulips with the current US administration. According to them, we’re just freeloaders (check Pete Hegseth’s comments). Trump’s state visit to meet the King? It feels like we're appeasing a tyrant, just like we did with Hitler. That was a huge mistake then, and it’s a huge mistake now. This US administration is the worst kind of ignorant bully, and yet we keep tiptoeing through the bloody tulips like nothing’s wrong.
Things won’t improve on their own. Gaza and Ukraine are abandoned while Trump rants on, and we need to wake up – fast. Our government must stop pussyfooting around and take a strong stance. No more appeasement. We need to fight fascism, and we must be seen doing it. First step: Ban the state visit.
Nothing about what’s happening is normal. Do not go about your day like it is.
Want to start small? @SrRochardBunson summarized the solid advice in a piece from @garrettbucks:

Then go big:

From there? Go bigger.
Yes, play. Yes, rest. Yes, drink water. But do this in the moments between fighting fascism like our lives depend on it. Because they do.
No mater where you are, if you are a #socialist and you are not part of an organization, then the time to join is now. We cannot resist without you.
