My husband tells me “They can’t touch Social Security.” When I say, “Trump is doing all sorts of illegal things. Who’s going to enforce the law? How will he be stopped? “ Silence. Husband prefers scrolling through pet pics.

It’s possible for me to forgive those who voted for Trump but I won’t forget. I still don’t know what to do with that.

Reports about legal judgments to halt Trump/Musk don’t reassure me. I want them enforced. I want an entire army to go in and arrest all of them, send them to Guantanamo and throw away the keys. I want proof, photos, eye witnesses. Everything!

There are no rich without the poor. There are no poor without the rich.

Read enough on the feed to want to curl up in a ball & cry. However, I’m going to enjoy a piece of cake and snuggle under a blanket to watch Midsommer Murders. They can’t rob me of all joy.

Exactly

Trump threatens Maine governor in public clash during White House luncheon. Presidents don’t act like this. www.rawstory.com/trump-transg...

There is nothing sane about this. I’m embarrassed to be an American apnews.com/article/musk...

Overloaded with info? Simplify. Forget the media spin. Do you disagree with what Trump & his felons say? Do you disagree with the actions they’re taking? Do you want an angry, vindictive dictator in charge? Let the all the chaos flow over you. You’ve got this.

I needed to hear this today.

Democracy has been dying. It’s dead now. If the law worked Trump would be in jail. Authoritarianism & democracy cycle. Perfection is not possible. High ideals must be grounded in reality. To successfully end this regime enough people must agree on what the common good means.

Just finished reading Twilight of Democracy by Anne Applebaum. It gave me a broader perspective for decline in democratic government in other countries and some of the factors that contribute. #twilightofdemocracy #Anneapplebaum

Let's remember this...

Sometimes I read a post or reply that I just can’t understand no matter how many times I reread it.

Most people that support Trump seem to lack critical thinking skills and judgment. I want to treat them with some awareness of the limits that bind them. I’m finding this incredibly difficult. They are “differently-abled.”

More people have to find a middle ground but that will not be possible unless enough media sources put accurate news over money. A lie is not free speech when it does damage. It is a lie.

When it was known that Russia had meddled in the 2016 Trump win did you notice how quickly that fact was dropped by almost everyone? Really needed more follow up. Control of info has been a big problem with the rise of the internet. Little focus on a huge problem.

I no longer have any hope that Congress or the legal system will be able to restore what was. We live under a lawless evil dictator. The old system proved too fragile, too easy to break in the current world.
