Trumpist America is shifting at the speed of light toward totalitarianism. Republican Senator Josh Hawley is tabling legislation for jailing Americans for 20 years if they dare download DeepSeek. Time to rise up to shut totalitarianism down.

DOGE is redundant and wasteful of taxpayer dollars. The Government Accountability Office already exists to examine how taxpayer dollars are spent and provides non-partisan fact-based information to save the government money.

Musk's made-up commission is being sued. "DOGE is operating unchecked, without authorization or funding from Congress and is led by unelected billionaires who are not representative of ordinary Americans." DOGE reps communicate via untransparent Signal. www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...

So many people around me have seen terrible history from the past. But they don’t absorb it. They don’t understand how those things came to be. They don’t understand our country’s role in terrible things either. They have this idea of “it could never happen here”. It has and it is getting worse.

What’s scary to me is people don’t understand the difference between politics and human rights. Not a good place to be when people can’t differentiate the two.

Never apologize for standing up for human rights.

In the US we are taught to always focus on the effect not the cause. News media is a great example doing this. Never do they focus on the causes of issues, and why things happen. But focusing on the causes won’t get them money. Without understanding causes of issues, we will never move forward.

People I see who read books tend to be more open-minded, less judgmental, open to conversation. People who don’t read are close-minded, hateful of others, and can’t have intellectual conversations. Sadly not enough people are reading. Read more books.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

A way to grab power is to make a problem out of nowhere and then have a “fix” for that problem. We see that with the TikTok ban. The person who started the ball rolling on a TikTok ban is now promoting he will “fix” it. Don’t be fooled, he is a transactional person, it will be only to benefit him.

Wrote a song today. Words came to me driving, then took a walk with my guitar and just starting jamming a blues riff, it sounded like the right thing for the lyrics and it worked. When the words came in my mind it was totally different. Very cool how songs come to life.

Black and white thinking is a negative way to look at issues. The world is complex. B&W thinking ruins the ability for the mind to open and keeps you stuck.

Viewing any type of a relationship with someone as transactional is a losing way to have a meaningful relationship.
