Trump and theย courts I am not going to be posting on Facebook, except for funny things. I want to fly more "under the radar." As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community (and therefore potentially in the crosshairs of Trump and his minions), I want to be a little less visible to the powers that be. That said, I want to share with you what Robert Reich posted this afternoon.

Tried to warn people I know Iโ€™ve not posted in a while. My heart has been too broken. This needs posting everywhere. I have submitted this to Snopes for fact checking, but I have found this information in multiple news sources.Again, saw this type of thing coming and tried to warn you. I hope those who voted for this disaster do not have friends or family in the LGBTQIA+ category.

Birthright citizenship A question was asked to me about Birthright citizenship. I thought Iโ€™d share what I told my friend. It falls under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. It has long been held to apply regardless of citizenship. Only a Constitutional Amendment can change this. No a presidential executive order. Here is a good summary of the why behind the what. Written 1-24-25 by Harvard Law School Professor Gerald Neuman.

You say: they shutdown USAID.

You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Iโ€™ve made my calls, have you? This morning I have made six phone calls: two to the offices of my senator and two to the offices of my representatives requesting that Elon Muskโ€™s illegal activities be put to an end. Mr. Musk is an un-elected official operating without congressional approval. He and is operatives have illegally taken over the US Treasury and has gained access to classified information for which he has no security clearance.

Hitler โ€“ Trump: A Comparison A most interesting reflection on authoritarian leadership, from a wise pastoral leader, Rev. Langdon Hubbard: โ€œI have spent the past few weeks reading and studying Adolph Hitler's autobiography, "Mein Kampf," which is translated as "My Struggle." He began writing it in 1923 when he was in prison for "high treason." His sentence was for 5 years. His book was first published in 1926, and was no longer allowed to be published in Germany after WWII until 2016.

Iโ€™ve gotten shit for saying this in the past, but the reigning conservative attitude is playground bully. Not just mean, but juvenile. Adults should be embarrassed to partake in it. And I think at least some of this behavior is influenced by internet culture, which is dominated by actual children.

INTERNATIONAL holocaust REMEMBRANCE Day, 1-27-25. (Tomorrow) The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, is an international memorial day on 27 January that commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, which resulted in the genocide of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, an attempt to implement its "final solution" to the Jewish question. 27 January was chosen to commemorate the date when the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945.

So, this is our Country After January 6, 2021 a few of my friends and/or acquaintances suggested that I was โ€œpanicking โ€œ for no reason. That I had no reason to fear Trump or his cronies.Well - I was right to panic.In less than a week the Trump Administration has come for undocumented immigrants (by rousting those that look like they might be undocumented) as well as for the trans community (in too many ways to list).

Sometimes I ask fellow Christians what in the Bible would back up Trumpโ€ฆ his hate and division. They bring up when Jesus showed anger and flipped the money changer tables.

They miss the point, he was angry they were perverting the temple, which is what Christian MAGA is doing to the church

For Canadians, once you're in the hospital, the province takes care of the bill.

No one in Canada has ever declared bankruptcy because of hospital bills.

America is, in fact, alone in this regard.

I think everyone should get to know the west African term โ€œwahalaโ€.

It generally means โ€œchaosโ€, โ€œconfusionโ€, or โ€œdramaโ€. A clusterfuck.

Iโ€™ve been on a mission for years to use it more regularly in my work.

Becauseโ€”- *gestures at everything*
