Shoot First, Smear Later
Killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo wasn’t enough—now comes the Trump administration’s campaign to assassinate his character.

So lucky for us the Native People of North America didn’t have a bigoted Supreme Court in the pockets of a billionaire oligarchy.

I hate myself for loving David Brooks, but Robert Reichs is spot on with his assessment here. Well worth reading.

Goodbye and Good luck, David Brooks
His musings about personal morality have been thoughtful; his views about public morality and our political economy, far less so.

The president is feeling cornered and lashing out. It will get ugly—and dangerous.

Gee. Didn’t the government kill off buffalo to starve the Indigenous people awhile back? Seems as if old habits die hard. SNAP out of it, already! We don’t pay taxes for the rich to starve the poor, sick and elderly here.

I hate our unwillingness to own our mistakes & become our better selves. It spread like a disease here, as has the joyful ignorance with which so many elected officials pretend not to know what’s happening. No Kings? You bet! And no Dukes, Lords, Barons, Counts or their female counterparts, either!

Just because you love something/ someone doesn’t mean you don’t hate the way they sometimes behave. I love my country, but I hate the way we’ve treated our Indigenous people. I hate the racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, phony religiosity.

Just pondering on the “make America great” theme: How does reopening an horrific prison with a terrible reputation in order to essentially disappear kidnapped people without due process make America great? Asking for a relatively rational citizen… of any country.

Judge scraps US rule capping credit card late fees at $8
A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule capping credit card late fees at $8, after the agency agreed with opponents that the rule adopted during President Joe Biden's administration was illegal.

Please don’t give up on us & don’t discourage those of us who are passionate about saving our country.The 36% who didn’t vote aren’t automatically Trumpist or uncommitted. Many were disenfranchised & many need to understand how important their right to vote is. I hope it’s not too late.

Please read the following 3 posts bottom to top, as I had to split them. Sorry for the verbosity, but am sick of Trump painting his questionable win as s mandate at the expense of the world referring to his horrific behaviors as “The Americans”. Let’s own the right side of history on this

vefnc.bsky.social @vefnc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
That’s an important note for the history books when they look back on what is happening today. We need to emphasize “I’m an American, but it wasn’t me,” and stand strong accordingly, no matter what it costs us.

vefnc.bsky.social @vefnc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
That said, I have been encouraging those of us in the at least 48.3% who wish to stand our ground and preserve this democracy to speak up when anyone credits “the American people” with voting for or mandating Trump, as less than half of us did. TBC.

vefnc.bsky.social @vefnc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
Help me with a solution: “the American people” didn’t want this. 49.8% of the 63.9% of eligible US voters wanted him because they were either hopelessly misinformed (lied to) or self-serving partners of Corporate America, the only benefactors of the Trumpian State. TBC.

I was 18 when, by sheer blessed chance, I met MLK briefly during the Carl Stokes election in Cleveland. His aura was magical & his kindness was something that has stayed with me all these years. I sincerely hope his children know most of us felt nothing but love & respect for him.

Here’s my fervent wish that we make our own Positive Project 2025: Consider those in need; care for those who are sick; don’t mock nor disdain the disabled; don’t enrich the wealthy at the expense of the poor; put kindness & empathy above cruelty & meanness; let others live as they choose. Be good.

Blessings to all, whatever you are feeling, celebrating, hoping for; whomever you are missing for whatever reason. I’ve seen more mournful messages than joyful this season, & yet, stores are packed with shoppers, holiday events are sold out, colorful light displays are abundant. What is missing?

Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens republicans with what seems to be existing ethics reports of republicans who have sexually assaulted and paid off victims. I keep saying, we know most of what Matt Gaetz did, but not those that don’t want their info shared. — 👇🏼

True spirituality transcends dogma, rituals, or labels …at the core of every belief system, the universal essence is compassion, kindness & love… [lead]ing with an open heart can be the most meaningful spiritual practice of all.🌿✨the greatest connection we can nurture is empathy & understanding.
Dalai Lama quote: “I believe that the only true religion consists of having a good heart.”
