It has been a few weeks since I last published a post. We had a recent move and I had to regroup to center myself in our new home. I didn’t step away from the news though as there is just too much to stand up against right now. During my hiatus from writing, I… Continue reading Apathy Will be the Death of Us
No Kings Day II
It is truly inspiring to see the pictures and videos posted of the No Kings Day II protests from around the nation, and the world. There are posts from small towns and large cities. From Dothan (AL) to Logan (OH) to Augusta (ME) to Birmingham (AL) to Chicago and NYC. In blue states AND red… Continue reading No Kings Day II
OMG! Grow Up and Wake Up!
Every day our great country goes further down the fascist path. The Republican president is directing the Department of Justice, which used to be an independent agency, to go after anyone who, in his eyes, has wronged him. These include Leticia James, Adam Schiff, Lisa Cook, John Bolton, James Comey, just to name a few.… Continue reading OMG! Grow Up and Wake Up!
Compromised
Our great country is compromised! The Presidency is compromised. The Vice Presidency is compromised. The United States Speaker of the House is compromised. The United States Senate Majority Leader is compromised. The United States House of Representatives is compromised. The United States Senate is compromised.

This is What Occupation Looks Like Oh Foolish Ones

That’s what it looks like in the book of fiction and movies. In real life, it is much… Continue reading This is What Occupation Looks Like Oh Foolish Ones
I wonder when…
As we have watched the Republican White House, and complicit Republican Congressional members and other local and state elected Republicans, continue their mission to demolish democracy and the United States, I’ve been wondering when certain things will happen. We have already experienced the capitulation of law firms, universities, media outlets, businesses, and state and local… Continue reading I wonder when…
Work Day
Today was a work day. New post next week. Stay strong in the defense of democracy!
A Little Bit of Resistance Can Go A Long Way
Often when we think of resistance, we think of military action, rebel group, large scale protests, and even terrorism. These are what the media concentrate on most, but they are not the only forms of resistance. There are many small scale acts of resistance that can go a long way when done consistently and for… Continue reading A Little Bit of Resistance Can Go A Long Way
