Not working on Washington’s Birthday? Why not join a peaceful demonstration to voice your opinions of the new administration and what it is doing to our federal institutions?
Seems quite fitting for a day where we celebrate our first president and all he did to win our independence and all he did to set the standard for peaceful transitions of power from one leader to the next. www.npr.org
I feel like I need to automate this post so that it repeats on a regular basis.
To all Trump and Republican voters: I will never, ever forgive you for empowering Trump and his enablers to destroy our country and everything we stand for in the world. Family, friends, neighbors? I really don’t care. You have all crossed a line that can never be uncrossed.
Let me ask you this simple question: Are you completely cool with Elon Musk having read-only access to your exact tax refund amount, knowing exactly when it was sent, and knowing where you bank and your account number? www.wsj.com
I suspect what we will see is an X and Truth Social merger that will consolidate the communication channels first. We’re already seeing plans for financial products from Truth which seem suspiciously similar to Musk’s vision for X.
We’re in for one hell of a journey over the next decade. There’s little doubt about that.
Want insight into what actual financial experts think of Trump’s idiotic trade war? Take a look at the futures markets. Spoiler alert: it’s not good.
We’re less than two weeks into the second Trump presidency, and we have already endured enough chaos to fill an entire four-year term. None of this is good for our country or our citizens. Countries cannot be run like some agile tech project. There is too much risk and too much at stake to fail fast. Failing is not an option.
In what should come as no surprise to anyone, Mexico and Canada have already responded to Trump’s insane trade war. For all of you that were so concerned about inflation that you couldn’t bring yourself to vote for a black woman, you’re about to understand the scale of your mistake and your racism. apnews.com
Imagine having your life turned upside down by a stroke of a pen. Trump needs to fix this immediately. www.pbs.org
Inauguration Day is one of my favorite days on the United States calendar. It is a day that many around the world have never had an opportunity to experience. It is a day that is unique to modern democracies where governments transition from one leader to the next without a gun drawn or shots fired. In most democracies, the new leader received the support of a majority of voters although this is not always true in the United States due election laws that have unfortunately not kept up with the expansion of the country and migration patterns of citizens.
This year is strikingly different than all of the Inauguration Days than I can remember since becoming politically aware as a teen. I will not be watching the events, I will not be listening to the speeches, and I certainly will not be celebrating. I have no desire to listen to a mad man’s distorted and perverted views of a world that only exists in his mind and the minds of the monsters that have his ears. I have no desire to hear about American Carnage 2.0 or the Us versus Them themes that he sprinkles throughout his Mussolini-style bombast.
I remain committed to helping those that need help, caring for those that need care, and supporting people that need support. Being humane. When the reality of what they have done strikes the voters in the Fool-Me-Once and Fool-Me-Twice categories, I hope they refocus their energies on doing what is right for their fellow humans and find strength to ignore those that want to tear us apart.
“If Kehoe calls a special election . . .”? I would certainly hope it is a matter of when a special election will be held. Otherwise, the governor is going to have a lot of unhappy, unrepresented voters in the 95th District.
