I hear Trumpy is planning on marching the streets tonight. I'm of two minds - either everyone just carries on with their life (because he hates being ignored) or thousands of smoke bombs are dropped downtown. My preference would be the latter - but, I also don't want anyone getting hurt.

Do you ever feel complete despair about how many people are completely silent about what is happening in this country? Such a travesty.
August 20, 2025 at 2:33 AM
Yes! Without due process for some people we are all at risk... and, honestly, white people (myself included) need to be off our asses and in the streets - it's not anyone else's job. Will a constitutional crisis occur? We are there. Full stop.

Judges have a warning about Trump’s rapid deportations: Americans could be next
Judges across the country continue to note that if courts don’t protect the rights of the least popular and most vulnerable, everyone is at risk.

What has happened to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is horrendous - but, he's not alone - he's just the most egregious. We need to bring every immigrant back. Not one of them had due process.

I know this is pie in the sky idea - but, with the erasure of black, brown, indigenous, women profile off of many government websites - it seems like Hollywood has an opportunity to help educate. I never learned about Japanese internments or blood diamonds in school. A whole wealth of stories!

We are a global laughing stock. How embarrassing.

Trump is taking a sledgehammer to the country - but the sad thing is that people who don’t pay attention to politics aren’t going to realize what’s happened until it’s far too late to do anything about it.

Sigh. So much up in flames. Do not submit. Resist. Choose the battles - and resist. (This is a reminder to myself as much as to anyone else).

Yeah - I'm sure this will all bring down the price of eggs. This sure doesn't look like America... or at least not the one I thought I lived in.
