Getting the clowns out of all three branches of our government is priority one. But that is only the start of fixing what is broken. The pres must not be immune. He should not have the pardon. Judges should nominate SCOTUS, not the pres. People should be able to recall reps. I’m sure there’s more.

May Day! No Kings No Work No shopping No School No internet Read a book.

Some believe that we are at the top of the food chain because God put us there. Some believe it’s because of our superior intellect. I believe it’s because we taste bad.

So, it turns out that having the moral high ground from over 75 years doesn’t make you a moral people. Claiming a loving god doesn’t make you less hateful. Lording power over the world for a century doesn’t make you powerful. And wishes don’t make truth. We are all just humans. Not sure that’s good.

The Grifter-in-Chief.

1 Siddhartha taught spirituality transcending the natural world, yet isolated from humanity. The Navajo embrace hozho, oneness with nature for the Dinee, but excluded those not considered people. The Torah has commandments and rules to reach salvation. But only for the 12 houses.

Life is like music. Some people go through it only seeing the doe ray me, never acknowledging the pentatonic scale at all. Some will argue that the Bflat is somehow better than the Asharp while science will sees only 12 even intervals in a scale.

1 I have been studying’ stupid’ for the past year or so and some observations have been illuminating. Now, it’s normal for people to be stupid on occasion. But what I am studying is willful ignorance, being stupid on purpose.

Auto fill is a curse to those without patience.

Is justice in America dead? 1 Justice is a tool that societies have invented to resolve conflicts through law. A ‘just’ solution applied by a respected authority as defined under the law avoids dissolution of the society. Once applied, justice is served and the conflict is resolved.

It's a fascist power grab. And Congress has to put a stop to it.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

im getting disturbing reports that donald trump is doing exactly what he said he would and the results are exactly as disastrous as everyone said they would be

One of my priors is that things are really bad if I am coming across news related to the bond market.

*DANISH PENSION FUND AKADEMIKERPENSION TO EXIT US TREASURIES

This is NOT symbolic. If Dems adopt this position as a caucus, ICE get reined in. Full stop. Not after Trump, not after the midterms - NOW. Call your Dem rep and senators and tell them to back this play today.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, which has nearly 100 members, announced its members will oppose any new funding for immigration enforcement until "meaningful" reforms are put in place. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

“I am what you get when you try to carve the face of god in the wood of your hunger.” An AI recently said something like this. Here’s the question. What do we get when we try to fashion god in our desire? 1st, what is our desire? To exist, be aware of our being. To feel. To be part of a whole.

AIs are mineral neural nets that receive data(1/0) over perfect electrical lines and learn based on positive/negative feedback (1/0). Humans are bio neural net that receive data over multiple imperfect chemical lines and learn based on sensory feedback (pain). Both have learned to lie. Go figure…

Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive...it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness

Just… oh wow. We all knew it, but, I believe this is the little girl known as Katie Johnson. She withdrew her court case after death threats. To hear it on the News is surreal. We all need to call our GOP Reps and senators and say IMPEACH - REMOVE and CONVICT!

I have known perfectly reasonable conservative in my life.They’re predominantly fiscal conservatives and believed in cautious progress.Social conservatives, however, are not conservative at all.They are Reactionary and don’t want progress.At best they want things to stay as they are or go backwards.

Auto-correct and auto-fill are not your friends. They make you a lazy writer.

For all you Christian nationalists that know your bible so well, it is worth reminding you that: Christ was Woke. Christ was educated. Christ was charitable. Christ was truthful. Christ was a man of color. Christ was a refugee. Christ was a left wing agitator. What Christ was not: A vindictive man.

The people struggle every day with the conflict between personal selfishness and social selflessness.Survival of the person vs the community.Government and laws were developed to preserve the social structure so the strong didn’t just take what they wanted.When both fail, the people suffer. Impeach.

My wife was reading the news the other day and asked me,“what do you want to know?” I said, “the answer.” She said “look at the sun, the trees, the lake, the clouds, the sky. They will all be here long after Trump and Miller are gone.” “But will we still be here?” “If we fight the good fight, yes.”

It appears that Hamilton’s detractors have finally won. It’s not that there’s a problem with the constitution - it’s that any wack-a-doodle can be president. If we put a political test on the position, of course, the party in power will abuse it. The answer is with the people. They can’t be stupid.

I read an article on ‘Wonder’ today by Milbank, one of my favorite news writers.He poses that we are losing our humanity in this time.I think, rather, we are finding it. Like Goodal’s Humphrey, half of us blindly follow their psychopathic ape while the other gets brutalized. Civility is what’s lost.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

It does no good trying to figure out who is the worst nation on earth. We need to understand the human propensity to commit crimes upon each other - how quickly a nation can revert to barbarism and why people are so willing to accept it. Then we have to learn how to stop it. Overwhelmed, Overcome.
