As the UK withdraws from the European Union, typical folk suffer new
costs.
EU university fees, if any, are now equal to all from the EU as
if domestic. Sweden has free tuition for EU students; Brits will soon
lose this subsidy. Surely the thousands of UK young people studying in
Europe help UK trade after graduation.
A brighter future requires better
relations & understanding. Arrogant fortress Britain is the darker
future.

Same Old, Same Old
Two Democratic Party leaders best described as "venerable" are Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Sadly, each is far more concerned with their personal positioning at the peak of power than with developing progressive policies. Each worked with Bush-Cheney to attack Iraq (at huge cost), magnifying our enemies, building the US federal security state, and starving American communities of funds -- wasting many lives at home & abroad.
Here's a well-written criticism:

I'm wholly dissatisfied with the corporatist Democratic machine; these two spiders control large sticky webs. And Big Money Democratic politico Steny Hoyer is even worse. The corruption of US politics in both major parties runs very deep. To progress we must confront these rigid oldsters: "Thank You for your service. Now git!"

Puʻuloa: Hawaiians Remember invasion
50 years before Pearl Harbor?
Americans remember the 7 December 1941
surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. But 50 years prior, the USA was just one of
many major nations enjoying treaties of friendship & commerce with the
militarily-neutral Hawaiian Kingdom.
US support for violent overthrow, aggressive colonization, and property
confiscation (esp. lands taken for the US military) makes very many Hawaiians
unhappy. Today.

Brintegrate?
One driver to Brexit are British people raised to believe they are inherently better than European neighbors.
Such people, however few, represent deep educational failure, and shortsightedness in building future foundations for peace & security.
Farage, ultranationalists, and the National Front can only "win" through taking away our mutual security and hard-fought peace.

outposts now suffering horrible storm devastation from Typhoon Yutu which hit this week.
Washington DC rules these lands. Boss Yankee should mobilize cleanup & reconstruction. Please!

Hawaiian Reconciliation
Since 1893 the USA admitted multiple times to illegal aggression in Hawai'i.
But Hawaiian lands are still occupied. The intruders fabricated at least seven
military golf courses on O'ahu! Native Hawaiians suffer everyday as our
inheritance remains stolen & misused.
Today's diverse communities, built on
Hawaiian culture, will strengthen when indigenous inheritance is properly
addressed or compensated. Surely all in Hawai'i are challenged to reconcile.
Unreconciled gaps exist between intruder
communities & descendants of The People of Old. We've sovereignty issues. Hawaiian
communal land tenure exists alongside fee simple ownership. As for
population, the repeat tourist, the fourth-generation
immigrant, the native Kimo of no fixed address - who is Hawaiian?
We must decide - and not look away to fuckin' Washington DC for guidance or revenge.
All can
benefit to be more inclusive, legally & peacefully acknowledging inheritance of
properties and compensation for indigenous people and their families.
