Please excuse the amateurish posts. I'm still learning.
Every Republican dances to the strain of the I Am Not A Nazi Polka

Why do the 2O25 elections seem so consequential on a national level?
It is not just a referendum on the last nine months of Republican rule
It is that there is no more independent local control
The Federal government can now march in and disrupt any time, any one, anywhere, city or state

I think part of the problem is that "antifa" sounds a lot like "intifada" and it scares people who don't know the meaning of either word

Bad Bunny will be eligible to run for President of the United States in 2032.
He missed being eligible in 2028 by one year.

Been reading about ICE in Chicago
Seems like we crossed the "high crimes and misdemeanors" line a long time ago

I wish I knew how to get a proposition on the California ballot instructing the legislature to begin negotiations with the U.S. Congress to secede from the Union
Considering this would mean a Red USA forever, I would bet they would go for it if we offered them enough money

ICE are less like Nazis and more like the KKK

Granddaughter is working as substitute teacher while earning her degree
Sixth day with a 2nd grade class of non-mainstreamed Special Needs (autism, downs, other)
They are writing whole paragraphs now
Don't know if I'm proud of my granddaughter or frustrated with the school district

So this is how 1O% tariffs actually work
Every time you buy a $20 pizza you set fire to another two $1 bills
This is to incentivize you to make your own pizza at home and stop spending money at the pizza parlor
The pizza parlor doesn't care about the $2 you set on fire
Might care about your attitude

Back in the 6Os my cousin was a tune in, turn on, drop out tie-dyed hippie living on a hippie commune in Northern California.
He is now a dyed-in-the-wool Trump supporter.
Still.
He forwarded me this commentary.
Just so you know...

In the history of religion, the greatest conflicts, very on homicidal, were between sects with the very slightest differences of opinions.
With all the Democrats now bowing the knee to the Imperial Presidency, I am starting to think that the same is true of Democrats and Republicans

I used to check in with Bluesky once a day to see who was standing up to Trump
Now I check in to see if the world has ended yet

Say Not the Struggle Nought Availeth
By Arthur Hugh Clough

Say not the struggle nought availeth,
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.

Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord,
Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that,
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word,
He’s but a coof for a’ that.

Say, Elon, what do you want to do tonight?

Same thing we do every night, Donald. Try to take over the world.

I have to update my list of everyone Trump has suggested the U.S. needs to go to war with.
(Its just a distraction until Musk takes over all the money}
