Some of my ancestors were here before the United States began; my most recent immigrant ancestors of which I am aware came in the middle of the 19th century. I also carry my driver’s license and voter registration card. But all I need is my speech to prove I’m a citizen. Lucky me. 🙁

I can’t think of anything clever to write. The last few days have been heartbreaking. We just have to stand up for justice and whatever way we can.

I just wrote “get rid of ICE“ letters to all of my Congress members. They’re all Democrats, but they probably still can use the statistic.

I spent the day on errands, prepping for a winter storm. When I got home, I turned on the news and all evening it has been one horrible thing after another. I’m at a loss to think what is going to become of my country. This criminal administration must go. CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS,, DO SOMETHING.

Dear Europe, I’m sorry. My country has made a big mistake, and for the time being, we’re stuck with him. Like a lot of Americans, I think you are all nice people, and don’t deserve to be insulted. I hope we can get back to normal relations someday soon.

Trump performed according to his habit, this time in front of world leaders. If you voted for him I will try to forgive the mistake, but for goodness sake, do something to correct the error. Write your Congress persons. Toss your MAGA cap in the trash.

Presidential quiz: would George Washington fall asleep in a meeting? Would Abraham Lincoln flip someone off in public? Would George Bush curse in public? Has any previous occupant of the oval office been as cheap and vulgar and dishonest and generally useless as the present one? Impeach.
