Teach me to stand tall
Determined and defiant
As a daffodil

In this USA - a country with more guns than people - military personnel on city streets become targets for ANYONE with an agenda.
More guns, more military units only escalate tension.
That may be this administration’s intent.
Just sayin’ …

Banish Mike Johnson to the bayou

Some of my protest signs. (I’ve got lots more)

Answer to who I want to lead the Democratic Party: Cory Booker & AOC with backup from Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley. Good listeners, positive messages, willing to act.

Next week, I will mail my FedTax return & check with this note:

“I would prefer to send this money to a charity of my choice. I also prefer to remain out of jail, free to protest White House policies/actions that are harming my fellow citizens & other residents - including current IRS employees!”

I live in Eugene and am furious! CAHOOTS was a shining star, an example!

One if by land, two if by sea
And I on the Ferry Street Bridge shall be
waiving my sign, reminding us all
United we stand, divided we fall …
Join me Friday, April 18, 2025 at 4pm (wherever you are, whatever your time zone).

Let’s ring the bell of freedom for the world to hear!

Hands Off in Eugene, Oregon! This was after 2 hours!

Had the Orange One not been elected, do you believe he and his MAGA minions would have hesitated to use violence - again - to take over the government? He was willing to do it in 2021 …

People say the Republican regime is filled with inept and unqualified people. Yet in less than 70 days, they have taken us to the depths of Pinochet’s Chile - snatching people from the streets, disappearing them, ripping apart whole sections of government - all without military ‘assistance.’ Inept?

Signs from the Tesla Takedown in Eugene Oregon on March 29.

Orwell was only off by 40 years.

AOC and Bernie - that’s the energy we need to lead us in the second American Revolution. April 18th is coming … let’s ride!

I was born in the middle of WWII (1943).

It appears I may end my life defending the US border with Canada - an ally who helped end WWII - against a US invasion of … Canada!

WTF!

I am proud to be an Oregonian. Proud of Senator Merkley for listening to his constituents and using our comments in questioning administration officials.
Proud of Senator Wyden for holding a virtual town hall instead of listening to the address to Congress on Tuesday.

Never give a chainsaw to a man who has not planted a tree.

My rephrasing of this from Confucius: Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance.

Grifters Only Party platform:

*first you cut the heads off

*then you suck the guts out

*then you throw the rest away

Silly children’s rhyme?

Nope!

Now all of us, including those who voted Republican, are ‘the rest’

If it is true that Trump is a Russian operative, then we have an actual traitor in the Oval Office.

And that would explain his Jan. 6 pardons, his cabinet choices, his disregard for our allies and his destruction of our international reputation.

If there is proof, we need it now!

If I had a hammer …

‘Well I got a hammer and I got a bell and I got a song to sing all over this land:

it’s the hammer of justice,

it’s the bell of freedom,

it’s a song about love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land.’

go listen to PP&M sing it. Get it stuck in your head!

The Pledge of Allegiance I learned when I was 6 (1949):

I pledge allegiance to the FLAG of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for ALL.

no mention of God, King, President … or billionaires

If the current political situation in the USA were a movie, it would be a farce:

‘A comic play in which authority, order and morality are at risk and ordinary people are caught up in extraordinary goings on’

Why are we not all laughing hysterically? Because this a REALITY shit-show.

New name for the GOP: Grifters Only Party

I got a text asking who I want to lead the Democratic Party. I replied 'do you want a list?' - which, of course, did not get answered. Because they REALLY wanted me to go to the link and donate money first.

But I think I'm gonna make a list anyway.

As Rachel would say, 'watch this space'
