Minnesotans shut shit down yesterday with a state-wide general strike. They did so in freezing temperatures, no less. I'm so impressed with their resolve. Last night I watch a 30 min. video in which Minnesota doctors from different disciplines, different hospitals and different regions assembled to deliver the unified message that ICE needs to be removed from healthcare settings. The directive was clear: ICE is not wanted there. What struck me the most about the testimony of these doctors is that ICE are not leaving hospital premises when being told to by the MDs, by hospital administration, and, even by local police. These ICE goons are beholden to none. Another nasty note: ICE are now in Maine and have named their hunting operation 'Catch of the Day'. Um, har-har? Unfortunately, seven Democrats in the House of Reps just voted to give MORE FUNDING to these shitasses.

Drumpf making a buffoon of himself in CH was absolutely expected and he did not disappoint. What makes my blood boil is that we here in the states seem to be paralyzed to stop his dreadful antics. Why the Donald hasn't been removed from power is confusing to me. Europe and Canada are moving on without us (as they should). It's a sad reality.
Not only did The Donald show himself to be a moronic fool in Davos, but he insulted NATO troops from allied nations saying that their contribution to efforts in Afghanistan were largely insignificant. This sort of garbage rhetoric led Sir Rod Stewart to post a video in which he repeatedly called trump a 'draft dodger' (which he is) and demands Keir Starmer to force him to apologize. Fat chance on that last part, I would imagine.
Trump and his MAGA administration are a disgrace on each and every count.
ReplyDeleteI hate them all so much.
DeleteBeyond despicable, there is no low LOW enough for him.
ReplyDeleteAnd this post was written prior to the murder of Alex Pretti. Such a disgusting act perpetrated by ICE goons.
DeleteI am so disappointed by how those in power are doing nothing to curb his excesses. Or anything to limit his power. Congress has that power. I hope every single senator and congress member who's been whining that they can't do anything get primaried.
ReplyDeleteStrongly worded tweets, or whatever, amount to nothing. I'm sick of it.
DeleteIt reminds me of what happened in Germany in the 2nd world war, atrocious! The NZ government isn't much better either.
ReplyDeleteI had hoped that NZ would be a lot more humane, to be honest. Yes, what is happening here has precedent. It's awful stuff.
