Economic Blackout

I don’t know how many americans are in on this plan, but I am. Friday, February 28th, let’s not spend any money anywhere if we can avoid it. Let’s see if a big chunk of the population can make a small ripple in the billionaires’ bank accounts and then see what happens.

I’m game if you all are.

#ProudBlue#50501MovementDon’t forget! Stay home if you can, don’t buy gas, don’t order online, don’t spend a dime. Make your voice heard with the economic blackout on 2/28.

Hero of the Week

I was thinking of doing something with this page to highlight people who are standing up to the rise of fascism in the united states. Something simple like a weekly topic, you know? Something like The Democracy Hero of the Week or The Anti-Fascist Hero of the Week. Something regular and recurring and formal like that.

But the more I thought about it the more I realized I would just be sharing everything that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted that week.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Medicaid is not for sale.NASA is not for sale.The Post Office is not for sale.America is not for sale.We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

………..And those are just from the last four days.

How Do We Fight Back?

I have been thinking about how we can fight back against the current coup. The short answer is that I don’t know.

One thought though, and I am not sure where this came from but I am sure it’s not original to my tiny little brain, is that Democrats in Congress need to round up as many of the people who have been fired by the doge putz and the fascists in the white house and bring them before Congress to tell their stories. We need public hearings… lots of them… where we can show that these people are real Americans and not just some faceless budget slash. I think the most effective examples would be idiots who voted for the orange mess of fascist goo who were immediately screwed over by him. That would be good PR. That would make good TV.

What do you think, Democrats in Congress? What do you think, Democrats in the Senate? I’m sure it would be a useless gesture as the destruction of the US Constitution is probably too far along at this point, but it would make some really good TV that would embarrass that nazi fucker in public. It would be worth it just for that.

They Were Asking For It

trump, the felon in chief and first rapist of the fascist states of america, yesterday claimed that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Despite, you know, the solid fact that Russia started the war when they invaded their neighbor.

Given his rapist history, it’s no wonder that the fucker claimed Ukraine was asking for it, just like I’m sure his rape victims were all asking for it. Obviously. I mean, they all had vaginas so of course they were asking for it.

Also, about half of the voters in the nazi states of america agree with his statement.

We are so beyond saving.

Here’s a cat picture to enjoy while we still can.

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.

No Kings

There were presidents day protests in Boston today. I would have joined them if I could, but I had to work. Today is a holiday that I don’t have off. Sucks. Not that I recognize the sitting president at all. The fascist states of america can have him, just keep his nazi ass out of my Massachusetts, please.

No Kings on presidents Day. Except maybe for the Los Angeles Kings, but that’s something completely different.

Four Nations Face Off

Are any NHL hockey fans psyched up for the Four Nations Face Off? The first game is tonight. Canada and Sweden are going to start in about 10 minutes. USA and Finland play tomorrow.

Do I care?

Usually I get pretty hyped up for this sort of international challenge. When NHL players are in the Olympics it is THE BEST HOCKEY EVER. Now? Today? With the United States crumbling into a fascist cesspool? It’s really hard to get up for an international hockey tournament when you are completely fucking ashamed of your country.

If there were a Massachusetts team, or a New England team, instead of a US team I might be excited. Otherwise I wish the US weren’t involved. If it were Canada, Sweden, Finland, and someone else (not Russia either) then I would be more excited. As it is? I just don’t care.

I’m Tired

I am tired today. I’m wrapping up my lunch break on this fine(?) Monday afternoon and I am tired. Over night last night I woke up at about 1:00am with hunger pains. Lovely. I had a bite to eat and felt better and fortunately it held me over until morning. I overslept a little and thought I was going to be late to work but fortunately the morning after the super bowl (superb owl) lead to light traffic and I got to my desk with plenty of time to spare.

I had no interest in the super bowl (superb owl) at all yesterday. Knowing that the fat nazi fuck face of a president was going to be in the stands meant that you couldn’t have paid me to watch. Not in a million, billion years. Fuck that fat nazi fuck. I read an article today that reported the US TV broadcasts included audio of applauding crowds as the scumbag was introduced, while the same moment on foreign TV broadcasts could clearly hear a resounding round of boos. Thanks, fascist collaborating TV networks. Fuck you too. I swear, the entire US media industry is currently made up of a bunch of fucking Neville Chamberlains. Fuck them all.

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, I am tired. It’s 2:30pm. I have three hours left in my work day. I wanna go home. I wanna go home, give my wife a great big hug and a great big smooch and then fall asleep until morning. That would really hit the spot.

In closing, fuck that fat stupid nazi loser fucking fuck.

I’m So Tired

I’m exhausted. No, really. I am so tired. My wife (the birthday girl) and I just sat down for dinner and I said, “I am too tired to chew.”

Seriously.

Why am I so tired? It might be because I can’t stop reading about how the fascists are dismantling my government. Seriously… at what point does secession become the only viable option, and are we getting close to that point? I think we might be.

I hate fascists. I seriously hate fascists. I hate them so much I need to nap for three days.
