The January 6, 2021 insurrection is not over.
Nor did it happen spontaneously, nor was it accidental that rioters were mostly angry white men.
It remains the civil war of our time.
Stand for democracy over tyranny. Protest by protest. Boycott by boycott. Step by step.

Arresting a sitting judge is not normal. It is the tactic of a fascist dictator. It is political Intimidation that threatens judicial independence, undermines the courts' legitimacy and weakens public trust. Thus I stood in frigid cold at the Federal Court House. Fascism has no place in America.

After a decade in advertising. Earning a PhD. Navigating academia for 20 years, publishing a ton. I’m done being anybody but me. If that intimidates you, maybe it’s because I have more experience and/or know more than you. I don’t plan to act like I don’t.

Every Veterans Day I think of my father who served in the Marines during WWII in the Pacific theatre. When I saw this retired Marine raise this sign at a protest, I thanked him, hugged him and wept.
We must never forget and certainly never disparage the service of our veterans. Bless them always

He flies “home" and then to Mar-a-Logo, to a Great Gatsby Halloween Party.
A celebration of excess - while Americans of modest means await hunger and no affordable healthcare.
His callous cruelty is unsurpassed in American presidencies. He is America’s Ugly Little Fool.

Columbus Day began in the 1920s, fomented by the KKK. Given WWI, the “government emphasized Americanism.” In 1934, Pres. Roosevelt proclaimed it a federal holiday.
Yet 90% of native peoples died due to displacement, enslavement, war & disease!

Since Trump took office on January 20, 2025,
there have been 253 gun-deaths in America.
Including 10 school shooting.
Where was POTUS during at of these moments? No where.
Yet today, he uses the death of one man for political gain.
Donald J. Trump, is the SHAME of AMERICA.

September 17 marks the signing of the US Constitution.
Today, our union is less perfect, lacking in justice, domestic tranquility vanished, the arms of defence have turned against citizens, our welfare eroded, and the blessings of liberty seem to apply only to those who kiss the ring. God help us.
