Northland Grandmothers for Peace and Lake Superior Veterans for Peace
Northland Grandmothers for Peace and Lake Superior Veterans for Peace condemns the unilateral, immoral, and criminal U.S. bombing on the sovereign nation of Iran. June 21, 2025 will be remembered as the day the U.S. once again chose war over diplomacy, unleashing consequences we may come to regret. This unprovoked, deliberate attack on Iran is a violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the U.S. Constitution.
The pretext of Iran’s alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons is a familiar lie. Just like Iraq in 2003,we are being dragged into war ...
Be Bold and Be Unapologetic

Be bold and be unapologetic.
The No Kings Rallies across the nation serve as the perfect example of this. Look at the enormous crowds of people who are rising up, making their voices heard over the monied interests that are dictating this country, that’s right – DICTATING.
The working class has spoken with a message of truth and sincerity. Our elected officials need to start listening. Stop being afraid to speak up, stop being moderate, stop apologizing. A market that is rigged for the wealthy and business as usual is not ...
Running a Bitcoin Full Node: Practical Lessons from Someone Who’s Actually Done It
Okay, so check this out—running a Bitcoin full node is dignified work. Wow! It looks simple on paper: download the software, sync the chain, you're done. But my first week taught me how wrong that impression was. Initially I thought it would be a weekend project, but then I realized syncing and maintaining a node pulls you into a slow, precise, slightly obsessive rhythm.
Whoa! The first night I set up a node I felt a bit like a hobbyist astronomer watching data trickle in. Seriously? Yeah—every block felt important. My instinct said this would be mostly passive; ...
Why HSBCnet Login Glitches Feel Personal (and How to Stop That Panic)
Whoa, this feels familiar! I tried logging in this morning and hit a few snags. These are common for treasury teams moving to a new corporate portal. Initially I thought it was a permissions issue, but after digging through admin settings, session timeouts and device registrations, I found the root causes often sit at the intersection of user setup and legacy authentication rules. On one hand the system is secure; on the other hand it can be unnecessarily opaque.
Seriously, it's annoying. When you administer multi-company access, things escalate quickly if naming ...

“I think the person running the country should be smarter than I am. We’ve just lived through the alternative, and it was only good for the liquor industry.” Andy Borowitz, political satirist, in his 2022 book “Profiles in Ignorance: How America's Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber.“
Mr. Borowitz was talking about President Trump in his first term. Now we are living through another round of incompetent, fact-free, ego driven mismanagement. Only this time the damage being done is much more severe and comprehensive.
We can get overwhelmed and ...

Are You Outraged?
"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." Comedian Lily Tomlin
We all should be outraged at the blitzkrieg of illegal, unconstitutional, dictatorial and simply stupid actions of the Trump administration. This article is about two of their outrageous actions that are blatantly immoral as well. One is the continuing, shameful support for genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The other is the shameful abandoning of the Afghan refugees who were our friends and allies in our country's longest war.
Mike Huckabee. Trump's Ambassador to Israel, says he is “outr...
Why Monero GUI and a Private Wallet Still Matter — an Honest Take
Okay, so check this out—privacy in crypto isn't a buzzword anymore. Wow! A lot of folks assume privacy coins are fringe tech, or that once you use a wallet everything magically becomes private. Really? No. My instinct said privacy would be simple. Initially I thought a single tool would fix everything, but then realized privacy is messy, layered, and personal.
Here's the thing. Monero's technology gives you strong default privacy through ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT, and the GUI makes that accessible to normal humans. Whoa! The interface matters. If ...
Habeas Corpus Protects Us All From Abuses Of Government Power
During a recent Senate hearing, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was asked to define “habeas corpus.” In an answer as wrong as it was terrifying, Secretary Noem declared it was “a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country and suspend their rights.”
Senator Maggie Hassan corrected Secretary Noem, and explained habeas corpus instead allows people to legally challenge their detentions by the government. Senator Hassan also pointed out that habeas corpus is what separates free societies like America ...
Genocide in Gaza
Hitler murdered 6 million Jewish people during World War II. The world expressed shock and disbelief when the atrocities committed in the concentration camps were discovered. Jewish people were killed in mass shooting operations, through deliberate privation of food and water, through brutal treatment and the gas chambers.
Compare the plight of the Jewish people then to the plight of the people in Gaza today. There are roughly two million people crammed onto a narrow strip of land along the Mediterranean Sea that are prohibited from leaving the area. Food and medical ...
