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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
Here is a picture of a cute kitty to distract us all from the end of civilization and the unchecked rise of evil in the largest nuclear power on Earth. Yippee for cute kitties!
I am completely on edge. I’ve actually caught myself a couple of times today sitting at my desk working while my hands are balled up in fists, white knuckles and all. Nothing’s going badly at work. All is a-ok. It’s just the rest of the world that has me so tensed up.
On the drive in today there were a bunch of times when I saw someone driving like an asshole (this is Massachusetts after all) and I thought to myself, I bet he voted for that nazi fuck and is driving like that because he knows he can get away with anything (including treason) so long as he wears that stupid fucking red hat. As I said this is Massachusetts so the chances of randomly running into a maga cult asshole are much less than 50/50. Still, I am so mad at the state of things right now that even here in the happy Blue State I am seeing fascists everywhere.
I hate him. I hate what he stands for. I hate those who figuratively suck his dick in exchange for being able to openly express their bigotry and hatred and racism and misogyny and antisemitism and anti-everyone who isn’t a straight white male. Fuck, I hate all of this nazi bullshit.
Breath. Count to 10. Look at the cute kitty*. Deal with it. It’s only been two days, but that’s two days closer to being able to kick these fuckers to the curb.
*Fans of The Walking Dead will note that I did not say look at the flowers. No… that would mean something entirely different and much, much darker. Look at the flowers, Lizzie. BLAM.
You need to keep your cool, Robert. If you lose your shit every time the first felon does something insane and evil then you are going to spend every waking moment with your shit lost for at least the next four years. That’s not what one would call healthy.
Keep it together, red head. You can do it. You did it the last time. Sure, it’s going to be 100 times worse this time around, especially with the fascist in chief dealing not only with his own personal brand of evil, but with dementia stirring his tiny little pot… yeah, it’s going to be awful. You can do it though. You can hold it together. You can get through this.
There are people who rely on you for stuff. There are people who need you to not come unglued multiple times a day. Just keep your head. Don’t lose your shit.
