I’m trying real hard not to react to every announcement 47 makes. This outrageous plan to send 30,000 migrants to Guantanamo detention camp though!?!?? Anyone in South Florida knows of a protest, demonstration, rally, anything—please let me know because I want to be there.

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

Here’s something to think about as you kick off 2025: ✨We are all stardust.✨ Every atom of oxygen in our lungs, of carbon in our muscles, of calcium in our bones, of iron in our blood—was created inside a star before Earth was born. Image: NASA Hubble Space Telescope, CC BY 2.0, flickr

I’ll never understand how America was unable to do what Brazil did after Bolsonaro (a.k.a. “Trump of the Tropics”) led his own January 6. He became INELIGIBLE to run for office for 8 years! I expected the same, if not better, from the nation once regarded as the world's model for democracy. #sad

Anyone else feeling numb at the thought of January 2025 approaching? I can’t quite describe how I am feeling but it’s a mix of impeding doom with not giving up, can’t give up, won’t give up, with gonna have to keep telling myself that to just survive somehow.
