Here’s a piece I wrote in February. So short I could screenshot it. If you’d like to check out other editions of my newsletter, follow the link. I am considering rekindling this effort. I’d also like to post the writings of others, should anyone wish to contribute?☯️⚖️✌️

There are no blue states or red states, Everything is really just some shade of purple. That said, the more Trump upsets his base, the bluer the shade of purple. I think I used all those color oriented words correctly, I am actually colorblind :-)

Let's see if this happens or makes a difference. I’ve given up on getting my hopes up, but I still have hopes, they’re just not up! ☯️⚖️✌️https://www.rawstory.com/trump-epstein-bomb-about-drop/

While antifa is not an organization, the Republican Party is, & has become an anti-humanity terrorist organization, but they are unlikely to go after themselves. Can we just fly them all to the Hague for crimes against humanity? I’m not kidding, that’s a high bar, & it’s time to belly up.

If we win one lawsuit proving vindictive prosecution, it becomes the roadmap for everyone else. Kilmar Abrego Garcia has a good argument, per the judge. Hearing will be set next week. Watch this one, it’s a hinge pin for so much more. ☯️⚖️✌️

Here’s a nugget. They’ve arrested an American citizen who they claim to be the girlfriend of the founder of antifa & plan to prosecute her until she tells them what they want to know, & won’t say who she is. Antifa is an abbreviation for anti-fascist. It's not an organization & it has no founder.☯️⚖️✌️

It’s nice to see someone like MTG, who is as MAGA as you get, speak up. She knows it’ll affect her family & constituents. She’s saying that Trump surrounded himself with people who give him bad advice & while she doesn’t like ACA, she knows we need it. I’ll take common ground where I can get it. ☯️⚖️🏥

Fascism happens on a sliding scale, there’s not one point where it’s complete, because they are never satisfied and always want more, but it never reaches a point where it cannot be undone. Just as democracy was never a sure thing, fascism never will be a sure thing either. ⚖️☯️✌️

If it upsets you when we compare the regime to Hitler’s, feel free to give me a more accurate comparison. Hitler didn’t start with the holocaust, he began with all the things the regime is doing. Trump is proud to have read Mein Kampf, & has not referenced having ever read any other book. ☯️⚖️📖

Antifa is nothing more than an abbreviation for anti-fascist, a term that is also not an organization, but an ideology, and nothing scares them more than an ideology that fails to give them all of the money and power. ☯️⚖️✌️

The Publix heirs definitely contributed to Trump‘s campaign.

I just wonder how much of a piece of chicken shit one must be to feel they have to be armed to go about their daily life in their community. I don’t know who they’re trying to impress, but I’m not impressed.

Publix is allowing open carry in their stores in Fl.. Fuck all you people who can’t thump a melon without a side arm. I’m quite glad I started boycotting Publix when they contributed to Trump’s campaign, & who the hell could afford them anyway. I’m happy to drive past them to go someplace else. ☯️⚖️🛒

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

They have no interest in reopening the government, they want to run a shadow government. Apparently having all three branches wasn’t good enough.

White House announces radical new plan to allocate tariff revenue without Congress

The Constitution gives Congress what’s known as the “power of the purse.” When Trump tries to claim he has his own purse, there’s a problem.

They’re going after Antifa. In other words, they’re creating a bogeyman out of thin air, & calling it a highly sophisticated organization; they’re going after cells. You know who they think antifa is? Everyone who’s not them. Antifa doesn’t exist, there are no paid anarchists; it's pure fascism. ☯️⚖️✌️

…and there are still people that don’t believe we are living under fascism, even as they do literal fascist things.

Ultimately, I didn’t go vegan because of any specific videos or information about animal cruelty. It was general cruelty. I went vegan through Buddhism based on, “Do No Harm”. If I had understood the horrors of the animal agriculture industry, perhaps I would’ve gone sooner, but I don’t know?

I was a kid in the 60s, a teenager in the 70s, a college student in the 80s, married in the 90s, kids in the 2000s, in the 2010s the writing was on the wall, and the 2020s are without a doubt the dumbest time I’ve ever lived through. ⚖️☯️✌️

I understand the mindset, I spent two years as a vegetarian without going vegan because of cheese. Those were the dumbest two years of my life.

I have found good things at sprouts, but I can’t buy bread there because i’m not paying $8; It happens to be across the street from where I work so I have figured out what they do well & what they don’t. My go to is Aldi. Walmart’s ok but if I wanna walk 4 miles I’d rather go to the park;)
