I (we) MUST

 “What is the source of our first suffering? It lies in the fact that we hesitated to speak. It was born in the moment when we accumulated silent things within us.” – (Gaton Bachelard) 

I  MUST be loud. I MUST not pretend that evil ignored will somehow make that evil fade away. I MUST never ever be silent. I know, I know, I have very little leverage in the crimes Trump has committed and the crimes Trump intends to commit.  NOT ranting, complaining, or addressing them cannot be a choice, because to do so is giving in and giving up! 

 

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." "The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people." "There comes a time when silence is betrayal.”(Dr. Martin Luther King)

 

The Mob Boss, the Dictator, the Creep, the Traitor, the Deranged Narcissist Psychopath, the Enemy of people of Value, Morals, Justice, and Liberty…just two examples of how much power he has been permitted to wield, and a very frightening example of what he will do, in a VERY, VERY, NEAR FUTURE!

 

Texas Was All Geared Up for Depositions In the Ken Paxton Whistleblower Case Until Guess Who Stepped In. You'll never guess who told the state supreme court to cool it on the depos. The all-GOP court issued an order Tuesday blocking the depositions and giving the parties until Feb. 29 to respond with their broader legal arguments. The decision was made public within hours of Paxton’s top political ally — former President Donald Trump (Esquire)

 

Trump said he plans to declare martial law. Here’s what that would look like. The 47th president invokes the Insurrection Act and declares martial law, granting himself sweeping power to deploy U.S. armed forces on America’s streets. Military leaders who dare speak out against him, such as former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, are rounded up and summarily executed. Meanwhile, SEAL Team 6 is deployed to assassinate his political rivals. (San Francisco Chronicle)

 

“Why must we be drowned by choices we wanted to make, when in fact we can swim freely within the waters of choices taken?” (Gerry Buncher)
