How Do We Make it Happen?

How do we make this happen? Do the Governors need to start the conversation at the state level? Do the senators and representatives need to start the conversation at the federal level? What do we need to do?

New England, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Washington, Oregon, and California. The United Atlantic and Pacific States. Negotiate permission to travel across the continent through Canada and then secede. With each new day secession becomes more and more inevitable.

New Morning Ritual

It is really hard to act like life is normal and progressing nicely or anything like that when every morning one of the first thoughts I have is, “I wonder what fresh hell the nazis got up to last night.”

I mentioned in a post yesterday that I wished I could have joined in on the 50501 presidents day protests yesterday but I couldn’t. I will join in on the fun on the 28th when we do that boycott all business thing, but that’s really nothing special. I think there are more days that I don’t spend any money on anything than those that I do. It’s just going to be another Friday for me.

When New England, New York, and New Jersey secede from the union and form a new nation together, who should we elect as our first President? Elizabeth Warren or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? I’d be good with either of them.

New National Anthem

I had a moment today. I put the Bruins game on the radio just in time to hear the national anthem. Given the circumstances of the day it made me feel sick. I thought I was going to vomit. National anthem, my ass. What nation would that be? The fascist states of america? That nation? Fuck that. I don’t live in the US anymore (there is no US anymore), I live in Massachusetts.

So what should we use for a new Massachusetts national anthem? The obvious choice is probably “Must Have Got Lost” by the J Geils Band. That feels a little too obvious. If we wanted to go with an instrumental song I would suggest “Foreplay” by Boston. Again, probably not the best choice.

Assuming the other five New England States join in my little Massachusetts Independence crusade and we create the United States of New England, I would go with this one…

“New England” by Tanya Donelly. That would be pretty much perfect.
