In the last week we have seen two elected Minnesota Democrats and their spouses shot in their homes by a white Christian nationalist fanatic. Two of which we shot dead. In the last week we have seen two elected Democratic officials arrested and detained. U.S. Senator Alex Padilla from California was roughed up, handcuffed, and… Continue reading Record, Report, Resist: Do Not Look Away

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
Time for a Wellness Check?
It has been a week unlike any other that I can remember. The week started with the Republican controlled United States Department of Education (USDE) having sent a letter on the previous Friday at 5:00PM EST, to go into effect at 5:00PM EST that same day, meaning no notice whatsoever. The memo basically said regardless… Continue reading Time for a Wellness Check?
Are We Too Individualistic?
The Musk/Trump administration and Republicans are coming after all of us, starting with companies and organizations of influence and power. We saw it when Trump went after ABC News when it reported on Trump, which parent company Disney capitulated to the demand rather than fighting back, thus hurting the fourth pillar, the press. We saw… Continue reading Are We Too Individualistic?
Are You Mad as Hell Yet?
It has not been a good week to live in the United States, but there have been some bright spots. Let’s start with why my blood has been boiling this week. The first is just a repetition that has been occurring since 2015, which is that Trump never seems to be held accountable for anything.… Continue reading Are You Mad as Hell Yet?
With Friends Like These…
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate passed the CR (Continuing Resolution) with the help of these short-sighted, in my humble opinion, cowards, who decided to assist the Republicans in hurting everyday working Americans: Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Angus King (I-Maine), Gary Peters… Continue reading With Friends Like These…
