Is today a good day to protest, beginning as it is with political assassination?

Lake of Gold A ways back, in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, I met a fellow named Dick who was warm and engaging – well, that’s an old story now. That’s pretty much how things go for us. Dick was trusting enough…

I maintain a blog called Old With Wandering, based on a Yeats poem. Here is a new post.

“I am this giant store. It's a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there. And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, if you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.”

This is us.

I know a few things. I know kids. I know kids with autism. And I know poetry. I’ve had the great fortune to have kids with autism make poems in my presence. So, fuck RFK and the entirety of this shitty administration. I know better.

RFK said this:

“Autism destroys families, but more importantly it destroys our greatest resource which is our children,” he said. “And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.”

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.

Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

Don’t let this go!!!

I have asked all of my US elected representatives this question.

Do you accept that all people in the US legally are protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments?

None will answer.

He knows exactly what he’s doing.

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

SMART General President…

This is hugely important. As much as it might be a challenge, we have to engage one on one and treat MAGAs like people. Talk, listen, don’t try to change minds - just elevate understanding with true stories and factual information.

Holly Whiting and I are not protesting in the streets today, but our hearts are with all those who are. We are resisting today by being good stewards of public lands and serving America for free on behalf of the US Forest Service.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Here’s my first post - a pic from Canyon de Chelly in Navajo Nation. Interpret the pic any way you see fit. In this canyon, the Navajo did their best to withstand the brutality of the US, only to see their culture and beautiful lands destroyed. After many decades, they have not fully recovered.
