No thrones. No crowns. No kings.
No negotiation. No surrender. No fear.
Just us. And a few million of our closest friends.

Trump and MAGA playbook - cheat, harm constituents, grab power and blame everyone else. Not this time - Vote YES on April 21 for the temporary redistricting that they started.

For when it is dark This morning when you wake May there be sunshine outside your window To remind you that the light will always return But if the sun is hidden by clouds And the sky is still gray May it feel like be…

I wrote this poem a few years ago for a friend who was in a dark time personally. I've been thinking about it since the shooting in Tumbler Ridge because I've needed this reminder that there are sparks of light and hope. May it be so for all of us.

ICE raids are increasing in Virginia. City of Hopewell Sheriff's Department was helping them with raids this week. They are also creeping out into the rural areas. They were in Chesterfield County last week.

Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a β€œwalking skeleton” and β€œdying from heartworms” when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. β€œShe lied,” Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. β€œMy little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.” The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.

There have probably been a lot of episodes like this at her church, but the victims were not believed.

Mostly they are terrified of getting sued or otherwise punished by Trump. Criticising Trump is bad for business, and they care about that much more than exposing the truth.

It's obvious. Trump posted this because he hates Black people and thinks it's funny to call them apes. His supporters agree.
