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!

The Democrats Are Going to Lose, Unless…
Locally, Democratic candidates are outperforming in local special elections across the nation. This is good because politics really is local; states have more power over our lives than most people realize and some exercise that power better than others (sadly, usually against their own citizens). National Democrats right now are doing as badly, if not… Continue reading The Democrats Are Going to Lose, Unless…
This is What Occupation Looks Like Oh Foolish Ones
When one thinks about an occupied country, I would imagine the vision is one of troops in every city, military vehicles patrolling the streets 24/7, people ratting out their neighbors, and propaganda being broadcast via all media. 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…
I Do Blame the Democrats
Am I alone in working hard every day to not be sad and angry 100% of the time. As someone who actively works to stay up-to-date on what is happening in the world, it is downright depressing a lot of the time right now. There are those who get upset whenever someone says what is… Continue reading I Do Blame the Democrats
Resistance is NOT Futile
The Borg was wrong, resistance is not futile. Captain Picard proved that in science fiction, and it has been proven many times over during the course of mankind. But, it only works when we all get involved. This week, watching what is happening in LA with ICE, the Federalized National Guard, and LAPD police abuse,… Continue reading Resistance is NOT Futile
June 14: National Handmaid’s Tale Day
If you haven’t heard, the next national organized day of protest will be June 14, 2025, starting at noon local time. Other than protesting to save the country and Constitution, it is also a day of protest against the military parade happening in D.C. that day as a “celebration” of Trump’s birthday. The official theme… Continue reading June 14: National Handmaid’s Tale Day
Raise Your Hand If
There were so many things on my mind to write about this week—military spending, norms, voter suppression, gullibility, history and so much more—it was hard to decide which topic to choose. I’ve settled on labor and food supply. Some of what I’m about to say may seem controversial and has the potential to be interpreted… Continue reading Raise Your Hand If
All Out of F&*@s This Week
Why am I all out of F&*@s this week (pardon my language mom)? We have corporate media who are not doing their job. Not covering the nationwide protests showing we the people are not happy with the direction the country is heading. Not calling a lie a lie. Not calling for the impeachment of a… Continue reading All Out of F&*@s This Week
No Consequences, No Lessons Learned
As human beings, we seem to innately want to push boundaries and to get what we want when we want. However, our parents, friends, bosses, and other people, help us learn there are expectations within our homes and within society in which we must live. This is often through trial and error, and positive and… Continue reading No Consequences, No Lessons Learned
