GUT PUNCH

It happens in the mind
The stomach gets it first,
Before processing has time,
The waves of nausea burst.
Queasy knowing yells,
Silence still prevails,
Speechless it reveals,
How deeply this thing feels.

That is the plan

Supreme Court ruling could let GOP add 19 House seats and "clear the path for a one-party system"

Supreme Court case could wipe out all Democratic-held seats in some deep-red Southern states.

That land belongs to those great animals, there is no environmental damage that they cause. Roundups are horribly cruel, once rounded up, these magnificent wild American icons are sent to slaughter.

National Guard members are paid yearly with tax payer money. They have a responsibility to be ready if needed. Not for ICE, for us. They have no business being out of shape, and overweight. Excess weight makes them less able to perform actual duties, other than assaulting unarmed people & menacing.

When we have prevailed...(and...we will)...and are engaged in a vigorous and unending process of protecting what we saved, doing so with a ferocity we hadn't been for decades, be one of those who is unquestionably able to say, "I never gave in. I didn't allow my position to slip so much as an inch."
