This is today’s draw of cards from my In Allyship deck.

How do we stand in allyship of the generational trauma of Native American children being from their families by ‘Christians’ and put into ‘boarding schools” to strip them of their identity and culture?

Honoring the reality TV show called ‘The tRump Circus’, I colorized a classic 1921 Rollin Kirby political cartoon.

Tariffs were considered to be snake oil because they promised everything and delivered nothing… kind of like co-presidents Donnie and Elon and their pet monkey JD.

The incompetence coupled with an evil intention to destroy democracy in the service greed and ego is tiring.

It started when I met the wonderful folks at Indivisible Mandarin and someone said they’d like a protest sign saying ‘taxation without representation.’ A person across the table mid-heard it as ‘castration without representation… and this was the result…

According to CNN, FOTUS is looking for corporate sponsorship for the WH Easter Egg Roll. Since torching a cross on WH grounds would cause safety issues, they probably will use the cross for sponsorship logo placement

In a clear move in betrayal of the ideals of American democracy and soft diplomacy, the Moron-in-Chief, in an ironic move probably lost on his evil minds, silences the Voice of America after more than 80 years on the air.

Erasure of members of the LGBTQ+ community is not acceptable.

Without protest and resistance, FOTUS will create and alternate history where trans folks do not exist.

FOTUS the snake oil salesman.

Last time it was ‘just’ Mike Pence. This time if we buy what he’s selling we all hang.

This is the best daily update anywhere. Aside from a single mention of “co-president Musk”, it’s devoid of opinion and snark and simply walks us through what happened. Great read that saved me a lot of time and stress.

There was a protest against FOTUS in my city. I did not go.

For some reason left-leaning protests are not focused. Rather everyone brings their problem and their sign. So a protest against FOTUS included “from the river to the sea” signs.

The pro-genocide signs excludes me, whom they want dead.
