We must wake up in 2028. Gravity will still work and we will know who the monsters are. Laws will change. The United States will still be a model for the world to admire.

Thank you for sharing. Zarina has given herself to a higher calling, and the painful words are devastating. This atrocity has to end. She deserves more global recognition for her gifted work. As her days are filled with horror, imagine her dreams. Stress comes out in our dreams, such as being lost in a strange place, having a sense of urgency and desire for new experiences, trying to perform a task or get to a destination, and returning to a period of stability or familiarity. Let's continue to pray for relief.
Thank you for your Sunday post, Greg, and for expanding the reach of Sabrina:
“I have been reporting—no, screaming!—for more than ten years that Russia was taking over. I have warned that Trump is Putin’s puppet in this theater of horror—to the empty audience”
Also, my #prevail nouveau mot aujourd‘hui was: “insouciant” — sadly perfect description of some Americans, still. 😣
Stunning writing and drawings. War is hell. Orange is puppet. Should we stop the insanity? How many zillion people are held captive now by TWO men? That's bizarre, far more than Alice. Throughout history, how many Hitlers have been enabled by the gullible and brainwashed? Do we need someone in charge of clean up on aisle insanity, with fleets of deprogrammers?
"The technological singularity is a period of time in which technology changes human society and life so quickly, that our predictions for what will happen next are useless even on short timescales like a month. The future becomes unpredictable for a human. Just like in physics, our predictive models are no longer applicable."
That is a quote from a now deleted Reddit user who was asked to explain "Singularity" as if someone didn't have any idea of what it means. They are most likely talking about AI becoming more intelligent than humans, but to expand it a bit, we have also had HUMAN singularities throughout history. Hitler was one. So is Trump, and Putin. "... our predictions for what will happen next are useless even on short timescales like a month," is pure Trump and pure Putin. In Trump's case, the time scale is even shorter, measured in hours, or minutes.
There has been a bit of a big deal made about Trump and Zelenskyy meeting, AND TALKING, in Rome after the Pope's funeral. There's even video of the event, where they're sitting, seemingly all alone, on two chairs in the middle of St. Peter's. It was reported later that Trump had said that "maybe Putin DOESN'T want peace," and seemed surprised by that. Well, fucking DUH, Trump! My point is that there is Trump-crazy, but the far worse danger for the world, Ukraine especially, is Putin-crazy. Putin-crazy will destroy an entire country, all the people, all the infrastructure, EVERYTHING, just so he can claim the land for his own, and as Zabrina so eloquently stated, "... [gain] immortality in the form of a paragraph in a chapter on great conquerors in a history textbook."
I have no illusions about the Trump/Zelenskyy Rome meeting turning into anything. His quote about Putin came after he'd spoken to Zelenskyy, the last person in his ear. And I think we know what happens next. Nothing good for Ukraine, and Trump backpedaling anything bad he said about Putin. This war needs to end by whatever means possible. It's only been called a "war" because that's what we name this sort of thing, but it is really an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country by a man who is most likely insane. Putin has been harboring this hate for anything West since the USSR fell, and 30 years later, he's started his endgame. It won't work, but his insanity won't let him even consider that possibility. The war stops when Putin is stopped. Permanently.
I'm always happy to see a column from Zabrina. She always brings the war to us at her own peril and has done so for years. I can only hope that she remains safe and secure while she does it. Slava Ukraini!
Thank you for sharing Zarina Zabrisky's writing with us. We people, in this time, need her insights and her words. I am so certain that there are many, many, many more people who have souls, people who have love in their hearts, than the madmen who have risen to power now--putin, trump, netanyahu, orban, and others. But I cannot understand how, in this upside down world we live in behind our own looking glass, how do these few people have so much power over us? I don't know how we will break free of this awful dream time, but I think Zarina will help us get there. Thank you.
Such a meaningful piece that describes with such empathy the plight of everyday Ukraine, equally strikes terror in my heart. The poignant line that describe the essence of today's Ukraine, "—During the war, you are not the one writing the story. The story writes you."
Too true — “when logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead…”
Tremendous. Thank you Disjointed Reality.
🎼 I hadda dream

Bonjour, y’all.
My heart breaks for Zarina and all the people of Ukraine. Mad Men are running the world now. Let us all wakeup from this nightmare soon.

Putin and Trump have the same goals. Resources and Profit.

Thank you, Lexine. I wish I knew the way--but, in Ukraine, people say, "razom peremozhemo" (together, we will win.)
Your work is very important, Zarina. Thank you.
It matters which way we go. 🫶
It is beyond horrible that a country may die because of a vain man's belief he has to stick to the idea that Only He Can Fix It.
