FLOOD THE ZONE. This is what they are doing. We have to stay vigilant. Who wrote all those Executive Orders? How come they were all ready on day one?
Trump is attacking Canada with a lot of lies and the cult members believe what he is saying. He is mixing Trade Deficit with Subvention. He is pushing to annex Canada. In fact, the real goal behind all that is he wants the water and the minerals, like for Greenland. He did the same in Syria with the oil. Hey, this is nice, let's take it. Expension. He is against the Us Constitution. And now Gaza.
Increase defense spending to 2% and now 5%. Why?. To feed the Military Industrial Complex.
It reminds me a guy in Germany in the 30s.
Annexion of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Poland, The Netherland, Belgium, Northern France etc.
¨Immigration enforcement operations in parts of California are having a negative impact on farms across the state as a large percentage of workers who harvest various fruits and vegetables are not showing up for work... Up to 55,000 migrant workers are needed in the region during harvest season.¨
¨Approximately 30,000 Jews in Germany and Austria were deported within the region or the country after the Kristallnacht of 9/10 November 1938. They were taken to the concentration camps Buchenwald...¨
They are now arresting Immigrants and they were sent to Guantánamo.
¨First planeload of migrants has been sent to Guantánamo President Trump aims to deport up to 30,000 migrant detainees to a holding facility there, despite the questionable legality of that move.¨
I think it might be too late to do anything about it except possibly revolution. The 3 branches and the red states are backing this coup.
We The People could have been pushing liberal values after WW2 like nuclear disarmament, staying out of NATO, prohibiting not merely curtailing the 'domestic national security' apparatus, etc. Instead this country voted in Truman and then you know the rest, the cold war, arms races, and now neocons are all in full noxious flower.
This is beginning to sound like a "Buy Gold " ad -but in this rogue presidency, as yet unbounded by Congress and the Courts, green lighted by the Sct, martial law is not far fetched. Its possible the WH could freeze if not seize foreign and domestic assets. It might be illegal, but would states and institutions act in time to resist?
People urge folks to 'call your reps'. Seriously? As if your reps are waiting for support, or undecided? Are any unaware of whats happening or havent decided if they agree with the neocons? Or what side they are on?
Americans decided in the last Election: 50% didnt vote, 25% went for Trump, and less went for Harris. Only 1% went for Stein.
The voters decided ! They invited this.
I used to believe that most Americans shared Stein's liberal values, the ones in the Preamble of the Constitution. What was I thinking !
Americans dont share those values in the Preamble.
I've been thinking the same thing regarding freezing assets, but worse things I can see happening which I dare not state here for those eyes that may feed the idea to the WH. I'm sure you can see it as well. Gotta hope they're too busy right now protecting their financial interests.
I honestly want to understand what you are all talking about and how you are comparing Trump to Hitler. Do you know your history? Is this an ethnic cleansing of an elite race? Who is he coming after? Are people in prison camps and walking to their death???? This is honestly sad that you believe our democracy is threatened.
He is cutting beyond wasteful spending and deporting people who are here illegally. NYC is suffering as are many states because the last administration flooded this country with unvetted My guess is your listeners are all in well paying jobs or homemakers living in nice neighborhoods. Sorry guys you are out numbered. I wish you peace and a soft awakening but listening to people double down on what the democrats have done to this country is so concerning.
Hitler was a monster there is no question but what always baffled me was how many people fell in line and boarded those trains but Covid helped me understand
Thank you. I am a second generation German /polish. My father family came from a town 20 min away from Auschwitz death camp. I have been there and I know my history. I am sick of people comparing our country to hitlers Germany. Our government is too big and has control over too much that our states should be controlling. We need term limits and abolish lobbying and stock trading for our representatives. I am a small business owner and work hard for what I have. I give generously to non profits that are transparent and spend little on admin. I have traveled internationally and worked in jungles to provide for many that have nothing. Our government works for us and there is a dark underbelly that will soon be exposed The guilty dog barks the loudest.
Your first sentence indicates that you do not know your history. You only know the selective version being distorted by the right-wing propagandists. You are being suckered by the oligarchs who want to stop the continue the redistribution of wealth to the owners of assets and away from the producers of assets. From the makers to the takers. Expand your reading. Socialism is not authoritarianism: it means that the producers of wealth get to decide what to do with it. Not the owners who stole it.
Thank you Marianne. Your wisdom and generosity of spirit is helping me (and so many other people) navigate these deeply disturbing times we find ourselves in. I am deeply grateful for all that you bring to this moment in history.
The sensible ones are appalled by 47, but still unable to see that 47 is the natural outcome of a movement to destroy the government that began with Ronald Reagan. Old Ronnie didn't have the power to do what 47 and his enablers and acolytes are doing now.
The GOP needed an intransigent voting base, leading to chronically razor thin Congressional majorities, a Senate committed to shaping the Supreme Court in a retrograde manner, the evolution of conservative legacy and social media, and the Citizens United decision which would empower a man like Elon Musk to spend almost $300M to buy an election for a perilously weak candidate like 47 to claim the Presidency. After leading a violent insurrection.
It began with Reagan, the man most of them still revere. Most won't admit to that. This is the triumph of Reaganism.
But we need more of the GOP to VOTE with the House. It's not enough to just watch it all happen and KNOW that it is wrong. If they're not going to speak up then leave the seat so someone else can run for their seat and speak out against the injustices, and then the Dems can gain some traction in Congress.
Thanks for you and your words🙏I live in Sweden and there is less information coming up here even though it’s bad info coming, so I’m grateful following you and some other Americans. What can we do to help? We are a group of people make gatherings to learn meditation, I think that’s the most important to do right now🙏and of course talk to each other and make people conscious..? 🙏❤️🩹❤️🩹
Thank you for your Spiritual direction. Thank you for wearng your heart, and I pray that we do get through this. I wrote a brief note to a Senator and encourage others to stay in touch with our politicians and when you are able --go to the streets. There is a lot of power in marching for American values and all spiritual values.
For an eclectic group of writers I'm amazed by how some limit their news intake. The sky is not falling. America is healing and her Citizens rejoice. Put your pencil/tablet/keyboard down AND enjoy maybe learn to cope with
a shinier smarter more prosperous America for all of her Citizens. Thank you❣️
I figure I've got a front row seat to watch it all unfold in real time so I won't be reading it. I doubt there's much we can do at this point to stop their momentum, except taking them to court which is already being done, and fairly successfully.
I'm the part of the movement attempting to stay deliberately calm, but aware, so as not to add to the fury and panic. I feel I will know the time for overt action when it comes.
The Dems are chasing their tails and smelling ea others arse holes to see who smells like their next champ/chump leader. Harris didn't work on so many levels. Meanwhile the Repugs are echo chambers of what ever Trumps thoughts of the day are.
IHMO we need a military take over of our government. Our democracy is in complete shambles. Our whole system of governing needs a reboot. Top generals could rule while Constitutional and International rule based order is reestablished. All those involved in and accused in genocide should be sent to the Hague. And we dear comrades should be taking it to the streets protesting for return to constitutional law. Not oligarch rule of law. Off with their heads comrades.

Deportation Fears Impact California's Citrus Harvest
¨Immigration enforcement operations in parts of California are having a negative impact on farms across the state as a large percentage of workers who harvest various fruits and vegetables are not showing up for work... Up to 55,000 migrant workers are needed in the region during harvest season.¨

Yes, you're so right, and the effects will not fully be realized right away, but we can certainly read the writing on the wall to come.
This is a very real thing here in Texas too. 😢
¨Approximately 30,000 Jews in Germany and Austria were deported within the region or the country after the Kristallnacht of 9/10 November 1938. They were taken to the concentration camps Buchenwald...¨
They are now arresting Immigrants and they were sent to Guantánamo.

Such peace in this post, Marianne.
I am relieved to hear that even Republicans might feel how unbalanced all this is.

I have decided the same course of action here - intentional meditation. Thank you so much for your love and support.
Thank you Dear Lady. I appreciate your equanimity.
Thank you for your Spiritual direction. Thank you for wearng your heart, and I pray that we do get through this. I wrote a brief note to a Senator and encourage others to stay in touch with our politicians and when you are able --go to the streets.

Who the heck are "they". Aren't we all just a tad exhausted by all this?
