“All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.”"

Donald Trump will now be the president again. A colossal failure by every Republican, Democratic, legal, corporate, and media institution got us here.

"Do not let these events distract you." 🌲

This week: find the center. When the world spins (Wheel of Fortune), be the axis mundi (Page of Wands). Acknowledge the sorrow (Cypress), but do not lose your voice.

We will still sing and dance.
