Thank you for your service (that might be the first time I’ve said that).

I’m well aware, but it’s a good sight better off than the US for now. Citizenship in an EU country entitles you to freedom of travel within the EU and residency in any EU country, so once I get that, my husband and I will be able to look at other countries (though really only the Nordic countries and Ireland are better options, that we can see, and those are all pretty expensive comparatively), but even just in Germany, the difference is wild. The institutions here are much stronger, as is the sense of solidarity, so even with the (terrifying) success of the AFD and BSW/FW peeling off votes from the left and more mainstream parties, there’s a very long way to go before Germany is as far to the right as the US. Plus, you have a right to healthcare and much stronger workers’ rights (and rent is way cheaper outside of major cities, I’m talking €400/$440 for a two bedroom).

I’m an American living permanently in Germany. It is difficult, especially keeping on top of paperwork. It’s not impossible though, and even easier if you’re in tech (I’m assuming by the fivefold pay increase). If you learn the language of the place you’re trying to stay, it’s much easier.

None of you who think you did your part spoke out enough or made your voice heard enough not just at this election but in every moment in between elections when complete stupidity was being presented as the norm.

You hear that, pregnant women who are now going to die, trans youth, and minorities or any kind? Ininewcrow thinks you’re to blame for your own demise, no matter how you voted.

But that’s New York. They only played once in Vermont.

Clover provides more cover to allow wildlife to flourish where I’m from and stays short enough to be in compliance with lots of city codes/ looser HOAs, if disbanding/buying a house elsewhere isn’t an option. Check if there’s a native species where you are first, though.

Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.

Good goddamn, Jefferson was wrong again. I bet this is what a lot of judges are thinking about when looking at J6 cases.

Just fyi, it’s “sweep it under the rug.” Swiping is a doing small motion, used mostly for smart phones and sleight of hand, whereas sweeping can be a much larger motion, and often involves a broom or a careless aspect. My husband has the best non-native English I’ve ever heard from someone who didn’t live in an anglophone country as a kid, and he cannot keep those two and swab straight, so I’d consider it a pretty easy mistake to make :)
