In a sane world, this would be massive news aound the country. We would get instant action from legislators in Lansing and Washington.

Instead, we'll get thoughts and prayers.

It is all bullshit.
That is it.
I read this forum and other diverse outlets.
Conclusion: it is all bullshit, recycled bullshit, the people in office are full of shit.
Exhausting

I do not traffic in or promote conspiracy theories. But I also refuse to turn a blind eye to what is plainly happening to our democracy.

Trump's war on elections is hiding in plain sight
False claims that foreign government interference caused him to lose in 2020 have been a staple of the diet of lies Trump feeds to his faithful.

Massachusetts neighbors tried to stop ICE from ripping away a mother who was with two children, including a newborn baby.

The agents had no warrant.

Those who want “illegals” to uphold the law should start by upholding it themselves.

This is vile, cruel, and unforgivable. Period.

Anyone who hasn’t read or watched The Handmaid’s Tale, do it now.

If you have, and don’t think this is what is happening to us now, read again, watch again.

We are living this moment, this history, now. It is happening.

It’s not good.

Do something before it is too late!

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

I started to write that I do not understand why a Nazi salute is ok.
Why it will be news for a nanosecond, poof, forgotten.
That is not true ..
That is my gut reaction, then reality sets in.
I do know the reason, and it scares the shit out of me.
So what now, fellow travelers??
