unfortunately true...

good wednesday morning, lovelies...

or is it?  is any morning a good morning in the US anymore?

personally, i don't think so.  not unless you are a billionaire.  i saw yesterday where there is another protest this coming weekend.  the Women's March are hosting a Free America for 4 July, US's Independence Day.  Click the links for info.  this seems to be a join together for neighborhood bbq's and such, sharing info, etc.  i also saw something about an economic blackout and sickout for 4-7 july.  it's hosted by, i think?, The People's Union USA and asks to basically not spend any money on the 4-6 of july and then on the 7th to call in sick to work.  i couldn't find it on their site, but i did find it on the creators of the site's insta.

then on 17 july, there is the Good Trouble Lives On protest in honor of Congressman John Lewis.

from their site: 

"Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people." 

so yeah...we're still fighting.  despite the senate passing a worse version of that big bullshit bill and sending it back to the house.  i don't know what will happen if it passes in the house, i just have to hope it doesn't.

and i'm begging and pleading that if it passes and gets enacted and that muskox tries to start some new political party like he's threatening to do, please, please don't join!  we don't need a south african nazi sympathizer leading a new party.

i do think that we need to get rid of the parties we have.  or just let them die off naturally.  i'm pretty sure the republicans have ensured their demise, and possibly the democrats too as it seems like they have just sat on their hands instead of handling the situation.

i have a few ideas on a new party that i'll share in another post.  i want to give it a little more thought first.

ok... so those were way more words than i had planned to write today.  i was going to take a page from two of my favorite bloggers and do a meme filled post.  i'll post a few and save some for this weekend to post over the "holiday" weekend. ugh.

i think i collected all these from substack.  there are really good ones over there.

but first:

save this to your phones so you can help people if you see something. k?

now for what would be funnies if they weren't unfortunately true...

 

that's it for now.  i've got loads more.

see you soon...

thanks for being here...

love & kisses & magical wishes...
