from the movie Excalibur Arthur: Which is the greatest quality of knighthood? Courage? Compassion? Loyalty? Humility? What do you say, Merlin? ... Merlin: Truth. That's it. Yes. It must be truth above all. When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. You should know that.

“Civil service protections keep the government honest, fair, transparent, accountable, and allow civil service employees to report fraud, waste, abuse, illegal activities and unethical activities. Once that is gone you have full corruption of the executive branch."

A coup is taking place. All government payments (social security, medicare, civil service payrolls and retirements…everything) are now in the hands of Elon Musk, to cancel whatever he likes. This is a coup against the American government and people, and it's happening NOW.

Europe has large expanses of farmland and forests. New homes are built outward from their beautiful cities and towns. Random suburban sprawl is nowhere to be seen. It's so beautiful! Remove sprawl and save arable lands and forests, and reduce traffic congestion. Life without the Climate Crisis!

Europe has large expanses of farmland and forests, uninterrupted by random houses and subdivisions. Instead, their modern homes are built outward from their beautiful cities and towns. Excessive suburban sprawl is nowhere to be seen. Random sprawl destroys arable lands and forests...and good life.

Your Felon in Chief is overstepping his authority. He is breaking existing laws. He is going against his oath of office by ignoring the constitution in many ways. I have written to my congressman and senators asking them to create laws that reign him in, or to initiate impeachment action.

Your Felon in Chief has placed incompetent Pete Hegseth in charge of our armed services. When asked whether he would refuse unconstitutional orders, and would decline to deploy the military against US civilians, Hegseth evaded a direct answer, saying “I reject the premise” of the questions.

Trump and his cronies have begun attempting to dismantle our postwar democratic government at home, and our influence abroad. He will do this if our representatives in Congress and our courts allow him. Read Heather Cox Richardson and Joyce Vance to keep informed and to protect your freedom.
