Apr 2025

at the same time, remembering the image of all those rednecks laying on freeway overpasses with their big toys, aiming them at the Feds. This time, the shoe would be on the other foot. And I honestly can't blame anyone for thinking (or doing) it. Though I still want to think we can non-violence our way out of this. That's actually a lie. I don't think we'll not have violence. trump is intent on it happening. He is intent on taking on full emperor role by doing the Insurrection Act dance. trump *thinks* he knows "nothing left to lose" because that is his natural always-on mode. He's never met anyone who truly doesn't have a fuck to give any longer. May he meet one soon!

Hubs and I will be adding our bodies to the demonstrations on Saturday, trying to resolve things peacefully. But I am a veteran, and a woman. Ever hear the one about the mama bear?
