The Atlantic Americans who care about democracy have every right to feel appalled and frightened. But then they have work to do.

"Trump has the soul of a fascist but the mind of a disordered child. He will likely be surrounded by terrible but incompetent people. All of them can be beaten: in court, in Congress, in statehouses around the nation, and… America…has ways to protect its citizens from a rogue president.”

Hello, my friend! Sue from MPLS and I had a long chat this week. She asked about you, says to pass her ❤️ on to you! We both hope you’re well…despite political circumstances. ☺️🩵🕊️

Hello, my friend! Looking forward to your knitting and walking posts!

KINDNESS KEEPERS

Trump fires independent inspectors general in Friday night purge The watchdogs say the removals may be invalid for failing to comply with a 2022 law requiring a 30-day notification to Congress before removals.

You can be sure the Inspectors General have the means to fight against their firings…unlike poor immigrants facing deportation. I hope Congress fights for the IGs who were purged without notice.

Newark mayor condemns ICE raid as 'egregious act' • New Jersey Monitor The Newark mayor said residents are being "unlawfully terrorized." The Trump administration has pledged to crack down on illegal immigration.

CBS news says “Donald Trump’s return to the White House, along with GOP-controlled Senate and House of Representatives, puts Medicaid on the chopping block.” Nothing new. In 2012 I drew a cartoon of Boehner and Reed pecking away at big budget items, including SS and Medicare.
New names, new wars.

At President Carter’s request, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performed “Imagine” by John Lennon at his funeral. I wonder what leaders thought as those words were heard: “Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do, nothing to kill or die for…” All living Presidents attended.

Just watched the funeral service of President Jimmy Carter.
This nation and this world lost a person of “integrity”, “courage” and who was “unpretentious”, to quote several people.

Not sure of the date, but Jeff Goldblum’s words (attributed to George Bernard Shaw) are worth repeating! 🕯️
