Last Notes npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Jasper is literally burning down and CBC Calgary and Edmonton TV are running syndicated Just For Laughs. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Biden could end up winning based on the fact everyone loves their slightly loopy grandpa who can still beat them at Trivial Pursuit and knows every "Question" on Jeopardy. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Since we are talking elections in leading western democracies, I should also point out the Spanish election was also expected to see the right come into power supported by the far right but the result was a left-centre minority that kept Sanchez's government in power. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Weird how there are no Scandinavian countries on this list with their “economy killing”, “socialist” policies. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 "Why do you want to work from home all the time?

Astronauts are safe. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub16mz…hm5n well that’s horrible. It may be legal but it should be a human rights/privacy violation!

I hadn’t seen or logged into that app for months, maybe years. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Again, I must express my support, admiration and solidarity with the student protesters. For 28 days they have been calm, peaceful, steadfast and made their voices heard. VIU has chosen to vilify, threaten and accuse them of making others feel unsafe while VIU hires outside security contractors to surveil (including video) and make the Students feel unsafe and unwelcome in their own campus. Administration has still not had a dialogue. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Bus rides are just so much better with an iPad. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Had a bit of a down evening after an event didn't quite hit as I had hoped, and worked for, but new connections were made nonetheless and they will help bring positive results in future. Onward! #Positive npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1grx…uxfe not going back or anywhere else. The non-algorithmic #Fediverse may not be the Future for everyone, but it is the only one I'm comfortable being in. #Mastodon npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Standing in a Subway waiting for a #doordash just now I noticed someone stuffed a community free news paper stand full of "Druthers". (It had a "Mass Immigration" headline on it. 🤮) So I quietly took them off the rack and dropped them in the garbage where they belong. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 It's on YOU shrimp glutons! 🍤😜 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 I Recall the days when Microsoft only wanted our money, not our every waking minute. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Will we get enough rain before summer to fill 1000L?

Hooray for free things! npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 This rhodo near my office has a unique and cool pattern in its blossoms. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Classy of Sportsnet and Ron Maclean to do a tribute to TSN's Darren "Dutch" Dutchyshen. Always sad to see someone die so young. I watched him a lot when he first started in the 90s and he's always been there ever since. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 This azalea has gone bonkers.

War propaganda only. Democracy dies in the dark. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub19fc…ay3c so of Gloria Vanderbilt npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 The Supreme Court of the USA is seeing arguments that would allow a coup and end to democracy in that country. This is not an exaggeration. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 "Comprising the newly developed anode and cathode, the assembled full cell forms a high-performance hybrid sodium-ion energy storage device, which crosses the energy density of commercial lithium-ion batteries available in the market. According to researchers, the device exhibits the characteristics of supercapacitors’ power density." npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Hot Take: npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 At some point soon, there should be a member of the public taking questions from MPs.... something that hasn't happened in over 100 years! Tune in! npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Watching the PM and PP spar in "Debate" in the House over poverty, “axe the tax”, and making the rich pay.... and all I can say is, if the slogan rhymes, it's not good policy. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1ckm…gutz amazing. Congratulations!! #fediverse npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 The consensus seems to be that we're in Late Stage Capitalism. The questions are, how long does this stage last, and what is the next stage? npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Just learned that some idiot parents from Saskatchewan sold their farm where they made like... food and stuff with their 8 (!) kids... and moved to Russia. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Don't let any denier or fossil fuel apologist ever tell you that renewables are "unreliable" or that batteries are "unsustainable”. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Ham for Easter. 😋 I am very lucky to have a talented cook for a spouse. ❤️ npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 “This is a very difficult situation with a high likelihood of not being successful, but that’s not going to stop us.” npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 The orca-mom drowned trying to get out of a small inlet despite people trying to help her. 😢 They think she and her calf went into the inlet when they were chasing a seal. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 As much as I can't stand the tabloid nonsense and I don't think they should have anything to do with our government in Canada... they're human, and this sucks, and I'm sorry the Princess has to go through this AND ALSO be inundated with the BS that the British tabloids will put her and her family through. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 I'm torturing myself by listening to Pierre Poillievre on CP24. After his "axe the tax" rhyming policy BS, he goes on to say within the first 90seconds that he would “lower the cost of low emitting alternatives" (note he doesn't say renewables) and then proceeds to list: Nuclear (extremely expensive), Hydro Power (extremely expensive, almost gone), Tidal Wave power (currently mostly non-existant), Carbon Capture and Storage (greenwashing nonsense) in that order, and nothing, not a mention, about the cheapest electricity to build at scale right now which is solar and wind. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Zuck is officially here now... gross. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Canada Post didn't get the package to the Consulate in Toronto on schedule... should have been delivered by now but it's still "processing" in Mississauga. 😬 And the Spanish Consulate often doesn't do stuff on Fridays. 😬😭 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Currently (Mar 18, 2024 22:31PDT) There is not a single story about or from or mentioning Canada on the first page of BBC's “USA & Canada” news section. 🤣🤷♂️ npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 You know Cathedral Grove, right? Trees that are hundreds of years old on the highway to Tofino on Vancouver Island? (It was even featured as part of the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.) npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 “'We should abandon the fantasy of phasing out oil and gas': Saudi oil CEO. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 I really enjoy the no-BS way Premier Eby responds to stuff like this. “"I don't live in the Pierre Poilievre campaign office and baloney factory," said Eby. "I live in B.C., am the premier and decisions have consequences.” npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 First pixelfed post in awhile :) npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 IN PUTIN’S RUSSIA YOU DON’T VOTE - VOTES DO YOU! npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Forget "banning" whatever social media company your gov doesn't like, THIS is what a responsible gov does. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Uhoh! Someone’s mad at journalists again and Social Media companies are like “ok!”. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Remember how I got rear-ended at a stop light a month ago and the offender took off? npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Nenshi is a rare person who can bring different ideologies together (and has). This is good for Alberta and Canada. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub183g…vrj8 @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1cr2…q039 @npub1eha…w3qc @npub176y…fj2k I would love to see food coops. Especially if there started to be direct connections between grower and seller coops. I am 100% sure that farmers just want to make a living and want people to be able to feed and take care of themselves. They don't care if Loblaws makes another cent! npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1was…8cm7 @npub1mmf…eknq I also believe racism is the root cause of Jagmeet not being able to break through as NDP leader. I actually do think he has charisma (ok, he's not a Chretien or Mulroney or Trudeau Sr) and his policy accomplishments are real, but the centrist-conservatives and left-leaning Liberals harbour too many misgivings of people "like him”. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 This might be the first time Trump is right twice in one headline. Just probably not for the reasons he thinks. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq unfortunately :( npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq perhaps not completely. But I do think if that process was extremely easy and people saw their server membership as fluid, then perhaps that would help the problem by making shadow banning less effective. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq you are absolutely right. Rolling your own server can't be a solution for anyone. We need more options in terms of servers that are well run and make it dead simple for people to move between without losing anything. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq a pyramid scheme. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1cpx…s4gp there can be no doubt Musk is trying to influence global events. Scary. And as yet, totally opaque. I hope he gets slapped down to the benefit of Ukraine but the level of corruption and traitorousness in the USA right now makes that possibility... unlikely? npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Random #RussiaUkraineWar thought: I am consistently disappointed in various Ukrainian voices heavily supporting Israeli actions in Gaza to the point of overt and gross racism. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1cpx…s4gp @npub1mmf…eknq It's kind of a Musk/Dogecoin meme related thing isn't it with Ukraine? I've seen it around but don't understand it. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Dear @npub1xzm…eykm @npub1g8e…qdqf #fediblockmeta npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1ks4…x88p @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1c3m…43se @npub1xzm…eykm @npub1g8e…qdqf Agreed!! npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1fp9…0erf a strength, I think. Shows that as a nation we are at least open to changing how we view our own history as attitudes and realities of those histories change. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1fp9…0erf lol. I'm honestly not sure I can do any better than you. It's a baffling sexual kink that somehow has made it into mainstream (possibly Manga related?) teen costume culture that has very nearly reached protected minority status. 🤷♂️ npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1fp9…0erf npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1spp…s0wq @npub1mmf…eknq I have always hated Costco just for the mass-of-humanity effect so it's been awhile, but I remember going and you usually spent a good $200-$300 on a good amount of food. I can't imagine doing the same now and it not being $500. Our paycheques have definitely not increased at that rate! Terrifying. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1cpx…s4gp there will always be a "biggest server". The difference is we have a choice. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 It's International Women's Day and I just wanna say thank you to all the women, including those who came to that designation a little later in life, here on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Without you this place would literally just be reply guys… IMAGINE. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 It seems pretty darned basic of an action for the Biden Admin to tell Musk there will be zero helping of Russian forces and if it is found that Musk's network is allowing Russian forces to use Starlink, the US DoD will reserve the right to shut that down. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 I was at the gas station yesterday in my EV. I needed windshield washer fluid and a place to dispose of some garbage that had accumulated. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 The story was published in, and then removed from Road and Track.

I just got two identical spam/scam letters, for a "loan” to my work snail-mailbox here in Nanaimo, Canada sent through Spain. 🤣🤪 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 The US vetoing the Arab-backed resolution is disgusting, but I think this point from their (USA's) counter resolution speaks to, in coded language, the fact they believe Israel is on the verge of or planning full on ethnic cleansing and that is likely a real "red line". If the Israel pursues this, and the USA withdraws from their decades-long unequivocal support for Israeli policy, then the entire dynamic in Middle East geopolitical could completely change, and not to Israel's benefit. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 #AskMastodon has anyone heard if the major social media management apps are adding or have added Mastodon? I feel this has been a major reason we haven't seen broader adoption in the corporate or government space. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 I have always felt safe posting about anything.

However, my point is: this also reminds me that if Canada (and North America in general) had a working high speed rail network, it is a mode of transportation that is far more conducive to accessibility and assistive devices. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub1mmf…eknq @npub1hcc…4xws @npub10kt…34x4 in an age where undeniably Christo-fascist politicians are leading the charge down the path of regression by appealing to the baser instinct of moderate Christians, and Muslim-extremist groups are leading the charge to advance their political agenda by appealing to moderate Muslim populations, should it be any surprise that Israeli Fascist-Semitic leaders might appeal to a moderate Jewish politician to allow them to continue their policy of extermination of their perceived existential threat and that moderate politician might be persuaded? npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 OK Mastodon - I have a question about universities and #selfhosted instances. #PleaseBoost npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 Good grief.

If Canada was a normal country with a national and provincial networks of bus services we'd be able to commandeer those and fill them with busloads of people. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub16kg…hh7t I think that the propagation thing will resolve in time as well as it is a wholly technical phenomenon.

If there are, why are we not boosting the heck out of them, and if not, why aren't we breaking down their doors.

That press conference last night was amazing. The gauntlet has been thrown. It reminds me (and I do need to remind myself often) that there is a gigantic swathe of America that is as horrified by what is happening as the rest of the world. I hope a way is found to restore the American Republic. npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 🌱 @npub16mz…hm5n That’s horrible
