LIFE ETERNAL

1    You live long enough, you’ll die from something. That’s certain. Definite. Uncompromising. Plastic surgery won’t help. Neither does praying.

A Month Into Office, Trump's Job Approval Rating a Historic Low

A Month Into Office, Trump's Job Approval Rating a Historic Low



WHO THE HELL ARE THE BLIND, DEAF, AND DUMB PEOPLE THAT THINK HE IS DOING OK? THAT'S HORRIFYING.

HOLY WATER

1  RAINY DAY BLUES. POOLS ON THE ROAD. BE CAREFUL. SPINACH AND LETTUCE PLANTED. GOOD TIMING. FIRE HAZARD LOW. LAKES FULL. HOLY WATER FONT OVERFLOWING. A HOLINESS TRANSFUSION.

LIVING BY THE NUMBER TEN

1    NOT NEAR ENOUGH-TEN. THOU SHALL NOT KILL. OR STEAL. OR SCREW THE NEIGHBORS WIFE. NOR HIS OX. DEFINITELY NOT HIS ASS. NUMBER 11: DON’T VOTE FOR EGOMANIACS. NUMBER 12: THIS IS SERIOUS.

QUOTES OF THE DAY

“It is astonishing that critical scholarship has asked forever about the identification of these store-house cities, but without ever asking about the skewed exploitative social relationships between owner and laborers that the project exhibits. The store-house cities are an ancient parallel to the great banks and insurance houses where surplus wealth is kept among us. That surplus wealth, produced by the cheap labor of peasants, must now be protected from the peasants by law and by military force.”

CHEAP LABOR

1      Cheap labor. Corporations love it. Capitalism loves it. But I repeat myself. Minimum nothing. CEO’s sleep better at night. In bigger homes. Fancy cars. Exotic exploitation.

THE HOUR IS DESPERATE.

DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE TELLING YOU WE NEED TO GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE. WE DID, AND HE SCREWED US THE FIRST DAY IN OFFICE. THEY CALL US HYSTERICAL. BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, YOU GIVE THIS GUY AN INCH, HE WILL MARCH US INTO
WWIII. HE MEETS EVERY CRITERIA OF A FASCIST LEADER. IF WE GET COMPLACENT WITH WHAT HE IS DOING, WE'RE SCREWED. MAKE IT A DAILY HABIT TO SOMEHOW RESIST. WE NEED TO REMOVE HIM AND EVERY MISFIT THAT HE PLACED IN CABINET OFFICES. THE VICE-PRESIDENT IS NO BETTER. BY ANY MEANS, WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE LOT. THE ENVIRONMENT, THE POOR, FEMALES, ANYONE NOT WHITE, MALE, CHRISTIAN, AND REPUBLICAN, WILL SUFFER. AT THIS POINT, IT IS EITHER HIM OR US. LET'S MAKE IT HIM.

COLD AS FROZEN ANARCHY

1  President Donald Trump. Canada has invited us to move there. Deciding between arrogant stupidity and unending winter. Bones will get cold as frozen anarchy.

Talmudic Saying

HOLY DISSIDENCE

JESUS, YOU DIDN'T HESITATE TO CALL FOR A NEW DAY. YOU STOOD FAST AGAINST THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT. A GOVERNMENT THAT WAS UNJUST, AND ONCE AGAIN ENSLAVING YOU TO THEIR LABOR INTENSIVE PROFIT-MAKING. YOU WERE STEADFAST IN YOUR OBJECTION. SO MUCH SO THAT IT GOT YOU HANGED AS A DISSIDENT OF THE STATE. GIVE US THE STRENGTH NOW TO DO THE SAME. HELP US TO STAND UP AGAINST AN EVIL THAT RACISM AND FEAR ELECTED. YOU, MAKING REGIME CHANGE; STANDING UP TO LONG-ESTABLISHED PRIESTLY POWER; YOU, USHERING IN NEW HOPE AND NEWNESS. ALL THE OLD REGIMES: MONEY AND POWER, PRIVILEGE AND ENTITLEMENT, RACISM AND FEAR, ARE ALL IN QUESTION IN FRONT OF YOUR MERCY AND RADICAL NEWNESS. JESUS, HELP US MAKE THINGS WHOLE AGAIN. HELP US RECLAIM OUR BELIEF THAT WHAT WE SEE IN YOUR LIFE WE CAN RECLAIM IN OUR OWN.

A CALL FOR NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION

FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS TRUMP IS GOING TO CARE ABOUT PETITIONS AND SURVEYS, LET ME BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU: YOU ARE EITHER THE ONE MOST NAIVE PERSON ALIVE OR YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LEVEL OF MENTAL ILLNESS INVOLVED WITH THIS GUY. NOTHING IS GOING TO PHASE HIM SHORT OF US SURROUNDING THE WHITE HOUSE AND DEMANDING THAT HE AND HIS BAND OF MISFITS LEAVE. WE HAVE A CONGRESS FULL OF RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS, MAKING IMPEACHMENT UNLIKELY. IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN, THE HOUSE AND SENATE ARE NO BETTER THAN TRUMP. HIS CABINET IS A LETHAL BLOW TO REASON AND INTELLIGENCE. WE HAVE TO CALL FOR A THOROUGH CLEANSING OF WASHINGTON. UNFORTUNATELY, IT CANNOT BE DONE BY ELECTIONS. NOT WITH ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES. ONLY A FOOL WOULD THINK THAT THESE PEOPLE AND THE RICH WILL NOT TAMPER WITH THEM. WE ARE BEING CALLED TO NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FRONT A MOVEMENT TO HAVE US ALL NOT PAY A PORTION OF OUR TAXES. WE NEED TO CIRCLE THE WHITE HOUSE AND DEMAND RESIGNATIONS. WE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE REPUBLIC, OR IT WILL DISINTEGRATE INTO FASCISM AND AUTOCRACY. WE NEED TO CALL ON FEDERAL JUDGES TO STOP HIM. WE NEED TO ASK FEDERAL EMPLOYEES TO DEFY HIM. WE NEED TO ASK THE MILITARY TO DENY HIM. WE NEED TO STAND IN THE WAY OF ANYTHING HE ORDERS. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO SIT BACK AND SIGN PETITIONS AND WRITE LETTERS.  THIS IS THE TIME FOR ACTION.

Thousands in the Streets Nationwide as Weekend of Action Kicks Off

Thousands in the Streets Nationwide as Weekend of Action Kicks Off



THE THOUSANDS WILL SOON BE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS. AND WE WILL TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.

THE HOUR IS UPON US-THE CHALLENGE IS GREAT

PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY AND COLD AND FALLING INTO DESPAIR. IT IS DISGUSTING, THAT IN THE 21ST CENTURY, THE POVERTY RATE IS RISING. WHY SHOULD BILL GATES, WARREN BUFFETT, THE WALTON FAMILY, THE KOCH BROTHERS, DONALD TRUMP, HAVE SO MUCH MONEY AND THE MAJORITY SO LITTLE? WHY DO WE GIVE WELFARE TO THE RICH AND PUNISH THE POOR? WE DENY OURSELVES UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE IN FAVOR OF PERPETUAL WAR. WE ELECT A PERSON FOR PRESIDENT WHO IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE A HUMAN BEING, MUCH LESS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. WE ARE A PEOPLE LOST IN CYNICISM, DISTRUST, AND DISINTEREST. THE YEARS AHEAD WILL BE FILLED WITH CHALLENGES, THE BIGGEST OF WHICH WILL BE TO ATTACK AN EPIDEMIC OF DISENGAGEMENT.
