Trump really would love to invoke the insurrection act, violent responses to Ice would be the perfect excuse. How far would they go? At some point, people will stand up…it will likely get violent; It worries me, and the future my daughter will live in. I look at early 30s history in Germany…

Jan 6, 2021, never forget the truth of that day! An attempt by the morally corrupt right to overthrow our government, and they got away with it (so far). I’d love to fast forward 50 years a see what history says.

Van Gogh often set vibrant yellows against cooler backgrounds like blue-violet night skies.
The contrast creates a halo-like glow, as the bright yellows blaze against the darker tones.

Written over 80 years ago, "Keeper of the Flame" presciently describes the times we live in.
Private Faschismustheorien (Folge XII): “Of course the would not call it fascism. They would call it Americanism.”

For one week, I wish every news outlet, every blog, every post on media, all of it, just didn’t mention Trumps name, go ahead and report on news, on what the administration is doing, just don’t speak his name (sans Voldemort)…i truly believe he would just melt, and cease to exist…please?

There is a lot of smuggling in Venezuela, because of their economy, often to neighboring countries like Trinidad or Columbia…while sometimes it is drugs, more often it’s staples, things like coffee, fish, and butter…I’ll wager the administration has no idea, or cares…
