Mary, I read somewhere that media costs i.e. streaming services are up 20% over last year. Those are nasty hidden costs. I just axed two and saved over $300 for this year. It's not just food and electricity, there's the cost of owning a pet which you know. Going to the pet store costs more than the grocery store some weeks. I manage on a fixed income but I know people are suffering. I see the homeless and mentally ill suffering. The weakest members of society will hurt more than those of us who tighten our belts and put on another layer. This man has brought misery to the country.
“Clarity … is still a form of light” - and matters even more when the governing regime spews Big Lies with malicious intent, and legacy media cowers with fear. Why this newsletter is such an extraordinary public service.
We in the majority must make our numbers count with strategic strength. Flood your representatives with demands for action to hold this malignant administration accountable for its ongoing acts of impeachable sedition and criminality.
Speak up, show up in ways that boost the courage of others to join you. Every drop helps fill the stream.
The veneer of political presentations and optics are now long gone. The opinions and wishes of the people appear meaningless. Trump and his minions feel omnipotent, totally insulated from consequences, and drunk with power, acting out sadistic atrocities.
As he spins further into more extreme lawlessness, gluttonous greed, and delusional framing of reality, Trump dares everyone to stop him.
Trump is a bottomless pit, never sated, and his only direction is ever expansive escalation. Trump's reign of destruction and corruption is unsustainable. He will be eventually contained. The remaining questions are how many people will be hurt, injured, or killed, how badly will our society erode, and will our country be able to heal from the damage?
I tried the nazi.us click and it took me to dhs.gov. But the important thing is what is on the dhs website. OMG - the violence, the anger, the call out to gun-happy men who want money. This is very disturbing.
Grim indeed. How many ice hires were military rejects? They do psych exams I doubt many of them could pass. How millions of Americans support what's going on and many thousands are actively involved and smiling surprises and disappoints me daily. First time I felt grim about the country was when John Kennedy was killed and I was watching. Saw his murderer get killed on live tv. I stayed home from church to watch coverage. I was a kid and scared.
Excellent writing again. The levels of corruption within this administration are astounding. When are congress going to wake up and start doing their jobs? It had better be soon or there will be nothing left worth fighting for.
Thank you Mary yes clarity. It comes in the winter months outside even in the freezing cold fighting against tyranny. Where we’re tired sometimes to the bone, cold and cried out from heartbreak, anger that starts from the pits of our souls that sticks in all our throats. Clarity, determination, perseverance and hope has now come to this nation that fights. From an invasion from within, not from any foreign invaders.
Who our own Homeland Security has a Gestapo-like organization that now goes by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-ICE now asking the masses for “their papers” in our land. That a total of 34 deaths have occurred in one year at their hands, and the detaining of hundreds of Americans that are even Native Americans that we all once pledged of allegiance to a flag with 50 White Stars on the background of Blue and 13 Red and White strips … there was a time that we all stood as one and recited ..”I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" written by Baptist minister Francis Bellamy in 1892. This is what we fight to retain for generations to come.
Sorry about trying to (again ) put something before my first word and ( again) hitting the send button. Please Substack put it back to the end of the writ.

wish I could advise a web page that I just threw up all over it.
For a really chilling article on the "vetting" ice does, see

Wow!

Sorry - that should be nazis.us
should be: nazis.r.us

Jonathan Ross is going to need whatever money he can get from wherever to pay for his 24/7 security for the rest of his life.
And it STILL redirects to dhs.gov. I just checked.
Nazis.us is still redirecting to DHS, at least here in the UK.
I shared on Facebook for greater publicity.
