“Your doctor must have a broken leg to doctor.
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested.
Whoever sees clearly what’s diseased in himself
Begins to gallop on the Way
…
Don’t turn your head. Keep looking at the bandaged place.
That’s where the light enters you.”
Rumi

The corporate takeover of America was back in the 1980s under Reagan.
This is another oligarch takeover of America, like the Gilded Age Robber Barons.
Because capital has concentrated to record levels in their fascist hands.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

While organizing my home office I found a poem by Rumi that I copied years ago:
I saw Grief drinking a cup of Sorrow and called out,
“It tastes sweet, does it not?”
“You’ve caught me”,Grief answered,
“and you’ve ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it’s a blessing?”

Is trump fiddling his violin as our democracy is burning?
Or is he asleep at the helm as the ship Democrcy is on course to collide with a huge Iceberg?

Our government does not uphold our Constitution and disgraces our flag. Prepare to vote the cowards out of office.

Effective leaders, when tragedy such as the recent assassination of Charles Kirk, try their best to calm the public and unify the people of America. Trump did the opposite. He stirred the pot of descent to divide American citizens. His behavior is unconscionable. He does not know how to unify.

I read in this morning’s “paper” that trump revoked Vice President Harris’s Secret Service’s Protection. A hateful abhorrent action. His mind is warped and he should lose his protection.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

The punishment for treason in the United States can include death, a minimum of five years in prison, a fine of at least $10,000, and the inability to hold public office. Treason is considered one of the most serious crimes against the United States.

Late last month, when the Trump administration froze government grants, a federal judge said it couldn’t just hold back money Congress had agreed to spend.
He cannot hold back funds unless Congress approves. trump must follow the constitution or be impeached for abuse of power.
