Optimistic realist. Humanity gets twisted into evil shapes by trauma, but we can recover, be better, & extend our recovery to others & the planet.

From Daniel Deronda by George Eliot - a very apt quote for today's political landscape!:
"It is a common sentence that Knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of Ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down."

I’m in Europe. Until I see arrests and incarceration I consider us no better. Resignation is not justice.

🎩 Donald Trump, is losing his Supporters over the Epstein files
Many of them are turning on him
So he had to crank up the racism last night
To pull them back in and derail any critical thinking
Will they allow themselves to be blinded by hate
From the reality that Trump is a pedophile!

Record setting: Trump is the worst president in U.S. history — twice.
That, however, is nominal compared to him being one of the worst human beings in history.

The irony of brave men who defended our Constitution, being deported by cosplay cowards who have no regard for that Constitution.

They’re deporting US Army veterans.
They say if they’re undocumented, they must go.
Such a selfish group of human beings.
They consider undocumented immigrants “good enough” to go to war and possibly die for the country, but not good enough to avoid deportation.
Ghouls.

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration.
John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”

I know the racism alone is the top 5 items of screaming importance from Trump last night;
However, can we take a moment to lament how pathetic it reflects on us that we have a phone-addicted meme-sharing President shitposter?

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.
