Daily Despair-Avoiding Affirmation 01/30/2026 🎉

We are watching an amoral sunsetting old man, bolstered by elected & appointed demagogs & sycophants, destroy the democracy that took 250 years to build Then there's MN where people are showing us how & why to stand up. WE MUST FIGHT HARDER & SMARTER.

Daily Despair-Avoiding Affirmation 01/29/2026 🎉

We've seen what happens when Congress & SCOTUS become cheerleaders/bystanders to a Unitary Executive. The only people representing us is us. WE ARE THE MAJORITY. Let's fight harder, protest louder, give those who are ruining America no peace at all.

Trump & his inner circle are frighteningly inept. The Noem-Miller-Bovino blame triangle. Rollins & her carefully researched starvation meal. Duffy blaming sweats for travel woes. And the man himself stymied by "affordability." We deserve better.

Trump's agenda is simple: get rich. He is addled & weak and rubber stamping Xenophobe Miller's radical racist agenda. But it feels like people are waking up, standing up & pushing back. Our majority grows. Let's keep the pressure on. Resist harder.

Trump & his no-talent goons are at last inevitably losing the faith of more and more of the public via their stupid hurtful lies. We, who've always been the majority, need to stand up louder right now. Speak out. Write. Document. Publish. Expect more.

I had a hard time recognizing America in MN yesterday. I actually cried which is not my thing. We must confront this admin's gaslighting, corruption, racism, & crime. Speak. Record. Share. Write. Remind everyone how much better we could be.

Every time Trump & his toadies speak, they show us & the world how unfit for office they are. Our majority is growing. Keep resisting. Find a way to engage those new to the fight. Together, we can take America back.

Polling suggests that our majority is growing in response to the incompetence of Trump & his Cabinet of Misfit Toys. But we can't leave democracy to chance. If we want our country back, we'll have to take it back. Find a way to resist today.

Feeling a bit like an American today. Gathered with some folk prepping signs for a protest tomorrow while watching an actual adult potty train congressional Republicans. First one finished:

Yesterday in Davos we shared our broken delusional unfit President with the world. We learned again that Trump cares about business & markets and not us. Use this. Boycott strategically. Ditch big tech where possible. Stand up. Speak out. Resist.

So if the insanity of this time we're in gets to you as it gets to me, I'll recommend a blog I found published on Wednesdays since the election. Premise is we've given up on a failed America and are becoming Elonica. This week's was therapeutic for me:

As they did after Jan 6, those who will follow Trump "off a cliff" as my mother used to ask me now echo his Greenland insanity. He's lost it. His Cabinet of Misfit Toys, SCOTUS, & the group formerly known as Congress won't stop him. WE MUST PUSH BACK.

Trump has caused such chaos here & across the world it's hard to prioritize what & how to resist. He has frightened Congress into submission. Do they represent us, the majority? NO. Are they representative of us? God I hope not. Stand up & speak out!

Let's be sure today in some small way to point out the contrast between a King who deserves our respect and the current wannabe King who deserves the best psychiatric care our exalted prison system can provide.

I'm hoping that today reminds us that one of the parts of America under assault is the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who died in the service of a country he knew could be better. We can and must be better. Find your voice. Take action.

Greenland. Venezuela. Minnesota. The White House. The Nobel & other peace prizes. Epstein. Meantime my gas costs more than it did on election day, I can't afford red meat, eggs are down but milk is up. Had enough? Demand a functional government.

Trump & his Cabinet of Misfit Toys continue to tank in the polls. Turns out the great majority of Americans don't want wealth for the handful & chaos for the rest of us. Let's maximize the power of peaceful solidarity. Stand up. Speak out. Document.

From the Preamble to our Constitution:

Establish Justice
Insure domestic Tranquility
Promote the general Welfare
Secure the Blessings of Liberty

We the majority still believe in the country our founders envisioned. Stand up. Push back harder.

Now is the winter of our discontent ... across the country & around the world the Trump damage is weighing heavily. I found this weird blog posted every Wednesday which describes life in MAGA US as though it makes sense. A breath of sanity that makes me smile. This week:

Remember that feeling of chaos from Trump's first term? It's way worse. Clearly Congress doesn't want to govern & SCOTUS's "Unitary Executive" is just a king. It's on us. Time to pull friends & family from the sidelines before there's nothing left.

I am in awe of the passion Minnesotans are bringing to the fight against tyranny. We are better than the masked, armed, violent thugs unleashed by President Miller and his mouthpiece Trump. AND WE ARE THE MAJORITY. Stand up loudly, passionately, now.

As those around a diminished tanking Trump manipulate his weakness to get what they want, those of us who love & miss America must remind ourselves daily: We are the majority. We can take our country back. We are the majority. Take our country back.
