Obituary for Brian Dennis Dowling | Penzien Funeral Homes, Inc. Celebrate the life of Brian Dowling and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.

My beloved succumbed to cancer after a long, painful, valiant struggle. He died not knowing about the US attacking Iran. I envy him that. www.penzienfh.com/obituary/Bri...

Judge rules construction of Trump's White House ballroom can continue for now U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled Thursday that the legal challenge brought by a preservationist group failed because the White House is not a government agency.

My dispisement for this β€œthing I will not call a man” is boiling over. I’ve never hated before, and I hate that he’s made me hate!! Trump’s White House. The People’s House is no more.

Report: ICE purchases warehouse in Romulus, plans to convert it into detention center ICE officials confirmed to multiple outlets that the agency purchased a warehouse on Cogswell Street in Romulus, about six miles from the Detroit Metro Airport.

They wont stop on their own. It’s up to us to do the work: Call, protest, write, vote. Educate.

Green Eggs and Ham narrated by the Reverend Jesse Jackson
YouTube video by skolander Green Eggs and Ham narrated by the Reverend Jesse Jackson

I’m remembering Jesse Jackson today. I honor his dedication to Civil Rights and continuing the work of Dr. King. He was able to find humor and show his lighter side, too. This is one of my favs.

My husband is in his last hours/days. He didn’t want to leave this world with the orange shit gibbon still on his β€œthrone.” He won’t get his wish, but with the protests, files, Springsteen, etc., he feels the tide turning-or at least hope for me. Thanks to every resistor!! We ARE making headway!

I’ve had this discussion with a few people. We do need a reckoning-either find ways to live together or agree to a national ”amicable divorce.” Seeing the end of the USA was not in my life plan. I have mixed feelings, but admit I’d move to a ”safe state” were it to happen.

Agreed. Our son, DIL, and grands share our values. We all ”resist”, & that teaches strength, resilience, organizational skills, etc., but they’re still exposed to the hatred and corruption. Protesting in any form helps 1 cope. Being involved is healthier than curling up in a ball or being in denial!

My heart aches for my grandchildren and their generation who have grown up in this era. They are either living in fear or are indoctrinated. Recovery will take generations. This trauma is now part of the US psyche.
