The Trump/Miller immigration goons seem intent on shooting often enough to enrage a reaction - just begging for an excuse to use the Insurrection Act to declare martial law and void the 2026 midterm elections.
Hard as it is, peaceful protest is the only way to win.

I am just depressed by it all :(

I have people determined to force me to watch the news every night but eventually you cut your losses

But seriously the world has gotten to this state with leaders pandering to them too

You like to have faith in something but sadly there are these extremists

Edit :( :( :( :(

The world has been here before with police and armies killing civilians on the streets with no immediate consequences.
It didn't end well for the strongmen then. I doubt it will this time.

Three old songs that are now more relevant than ever during this hideous and evil Age of Trump:

"Only a Pawn in Their Game" - Bob Dylan

"F the CC" - Steve Earle

"The American Ruse" - The MC5

All are easily available on You Tube, as is this fourth bonus one:

"Ohio" - Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

I would be willing to stand outside an ICE hotel all night banging my drum however, I am not stepping foot over the border. I'll do what I can to help in my little part of the planet.

I'm not even confident about crossing the Pacific

The autocrat is losing support here at home so like all autocrats do he is trying to show how strong he is by invading Poland.
Isn’t Mexico/Austria supposed to roll over and join like a pet dog?
