Another horrific shooting

Alex Pretti was a veteran, an ICU nurse, had a permit to carry and was executed just like Renee Good. 

Let me say a few things. 

One, I know many of you reading this voted for this fascist regime. What these Nazi thugs are doing in Minnesota, they would do anywhere. Executing people in other states will easily translate to executing people here.

It is horrific to think people I know support the execution, the KILLING of people who are Democrats, work for Democrats, who show up to protest, to help neighbors, and demand the rule of law. 

Anyone who voted for and supports any of this bears the responsibility of these atrocities. 

These are our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. It's sickening to think people I know - former colleagues, neighbors, and community members - support these kinds of atrocities. 

If you believe anyone deserves this, if I deserve it, Paul, who served our nation for 22 years, deserves it, a mom driving her van to help her neighbors deserves it, an ICU Nurse protesting deserves it, or a migrant family here deserves it, I want nothing to do with you. 

I will say this again: I want nothing to do with anyone who supports the execution, the vilification, and the character assassination of anyone standing up for our Civil Rights. 

Paul didn't serve and we didn't sacrifice to sit this one out.  

All of this sickens me. But I will not stop fighting, protesting, marching, and standing up. 

Fuck you, fascists. 

Gestapo Nazi fascists also known as ICE

This has been an absolutely horrific week. From January 6th to the murder of a woman in MN, we are less and less safe from the Gestapo Nazi fascists in the current regime.  

For those of you who voted for this, especially the 'PRO LIFE" voters, perhaps you can help me understand how murdering a woman and preventing medical care in the moment is PRO LIFE? 

This could be any of us. This murder will enbolden other wannabes to infringe and interfere with our First Amendment rights. 

And about Renee Nicole Good. From Heather Cox Richardson this morning: according to Minneapolis leaders, Good was a legal observer: a volunteer trained to observe police conduct in case of future legal action.

THIS IS OUR RIGHT. And we shouldn't be murdered for exercising it.  

Jonathan Ross murdered Good. Shot her point blank in the face and called her, "a fucking bitch." And while authorities maintain Ross acted in self-defense, these "authorities" are known liars. Same people who maintain January 6th was a peaceful event. 

In case you have forgotten, a picture of January 6th. Because peaceful visitors always push over barracades and scale walls. 

And, the liar in chief and his murderous, lying cabal, still have not released the Epstein files. 

So some of you will continue to drink the koolaid and support these fucking goons.  Me? I will keep fighting tooth and nail even if it means I end up dead.

Christmas Eve

I have changed my blog font to Calibri. IYKYK. 

And for the record, I have always said, "Merry Christmas" to those who celebrate. Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate. And happy holidays to those who may celebrate the Winter Solstice.

Tonight, we celebrate Christmas Eve with Paul's amazing filet mignon recipe and this magnificent cabernet, recommended by our friend, Erika.

May you enjoy some down time this holiday season. January we will be off to the races. Literally. All the races. 

Cheers.   

 

Gratitude

 As we head into the holiday, I am grateful for so many things. 

- For my clean and clear mammogram. Many of my friends are fighting or have fought for their lives. I don’t take this for granted. 

- For insurance that covered my mammogram, my dermatologist, and my dentist. Many people right now are dropping insurance because of the costs. 

- For the Canadians. These dear neighbors to the north told CBS to “hold my beer” and released the horrific story on the brutality of CECOT. That new “leader” of CBS is on par with the other morons in this administration. 

- For the Danes. These dear friends across the pond have told Trump and his lackeys to fuck off; and if this “special envoy” shows up in Greenland, will have their sorry asses arrested. Please, can we send the entire administration to Greenland? 

- For Jack Smith. The brave man sat in front of lying Gym Jordan and told the world the Orange Felon SOLD OUR NUCLEAR SECRETS.  Somehow this is not making any news. Are we great yet? 

- For the victim/survivors of Trump and Epstein. May your courage be rewarded and may justice be served.  

- For all the good people, and my favorite, Callie Barr, who have the courage to step up and run against these liars, cheaters, and grifters. Be like Callie. 

Keep fighting, good people. We are on the right side of history.

Why are you protecting rapists?

Before politics happened, I had a long career in Human Resources. The last few years of my career, I worked in Title IX, conducting investigations. Some of those investigations involved sexual assault. 

Telling the story is horrific for the victim/survivor. Every time the person has to retell the story, they experience again the assault and the trauma. 

As someone who worked in this area, I will be CRYSTAL CLEAR here.

If you aren't doing something to stop this horrific administration from shielding rapists, you – YOU - are complicit. YOU are complicit in supporting, shielding, and protecting RAPISTS.

These men RAPED children. 

I don’t care who they are, what party they are in, the inconvenience it will cause you, the financial impact it might have or the reputations these reports will shred. 

If YOU voted for these people and are supporting them, YOU are the enemy of the state, not me.  

And I will keep fighting for the voices YOU are trying to silence.
