In a time of trumult ... 20250, American democracy in retrogrind … a nation torsed, off course, under erratic, spurious, spasmodic misleadership … self~armoring, self~isolating, abandoning world diplomatic leadership, reverting to threat and militarized force in homeland and afar ( Defense Secretary Hegseth routinely ridicules “stupid rules of engagement..maximum lethality not tepid legality”, note Iranian Girls’ School bombing, Feb 28, kicking the Tomahawk missile parts down the road, with NO APOLOGIES) … what was over there is over here is over there… under increasingly unitary executive branch squandering billions upon billions in overt warring, hegemony abroad, domestic culture cleaving, anxiety and insecurity surging, spiraling cost of living …
Project 2025 omnidirectional attacks in defunding critical domestic social, human and enviro health program needs, chopping Ed and Arts, shameless trampling of guardrail civil and official norms, b r u t i s h law enforcement unto ICE murders, ducking~ delaying~obfuscating accountability, targeted and mass deportations, hostile~unhygienic detentions centers, reversals, rewrites and deliberate destruction of vital regulations, cynical~manipulative political seduction~conscription~hoodwinking of Christian faithful, abetting extreme Christian religious nationalism~white supremacy … race baiting, othering, immigrant bashing ( in the name of the Prince of Peace ), historical revisionism, attacks and deck~ stacks on our cultural institutions, culture cancels … gerrymandering, voter suppression ~ systems undermining, data deletes, doc stashes, redacts unto 37 missing Epstein pages, , moral compass spinning, gaslighting, costly endless lawsuits suits, retributions, muddying, maligning, intimidations, squabbles, blocks, circumvents~end runs, outlandish partisan pardons, taxpayer flossing, executive branch industry coercion, corporate greed enabling, brazen self~dealing, brash~crass crypto pon$ie, bald faced presidential political office profiteering, crony pocket~ lining, crony~protecting,self~insulating, immunity seeking, self~insulating, ego trippin’, fiascos, entanglements, bamboozlings and imbroglios ..
“Only I can f i x it “?! He may have meant as in precontrive or rig ~ F I X it. We’re witnessing, weathering a gilded ( how much gold leaf in your home ? ) wilting star spangled rapere and unravel. A most toxic and raging di vi si dent. Glowering and belligerent maladmistration, actively opposing and stifling earned rights and values of its citizens, triumphal historical revisionism, disrespectful of the life, struggles and values of our Indigenous and Diverse Peoples, Lands and Waters.
U.S. Administration vs. Everything, Almost Everyone, Everywhere at Once? Hubris at every turn. Is this the grimace and pout~touted promise of Law and Order ? A government turning upon, criminalizing its own citizens and legal and process~pending immigrants ?! Reads daily and plays out more like 1984der. Swirled with foxy alerts and snarky messaging .. net net .. US V THEM , Enemy Within .. Don’t Awaken to the Self Evident Obscenities … You might be Awakened, ahem, Woke ! Pretty standard and historically documented, borne out uber mindufk fare. WTT!
Absence of Classic and commonly celebrated values of Love, Kindness, Brotherly Love, Humility … any genuinely Inclusive national Vision … overtones and undertows of civic estrangement, deliberate, driven by design and intention, exploitative in every dimension … Alas.
Ignited Estrangements
This is not freedom ringing, more like the NYSE bell on Wall Street, a governing for and by a walled~in autocratic selected loyalist ideological~hammer mashup regime, railing to to control elections, raid our commonwealth, treasury and tax revenue, assail our All Americans Aspirational Spirit, more akin to a hostile cultish and corporate takeover. It is the stuff of every warning in our founding and evolving national framework documents. Dr. King. Scriptural references, if one sees clearly beyond the evangelical nationalist FOG~a. The voices of this administration and its advocates have become Hostile, most Unkind, Shrill. Devolving.
Devouring.
Ask oneself, what energy drives initiatives like these, what are the motivations… are the motives serving Understanding, Lifting and Sharing Commonwealth, Peace and Enlightenment, Caring for our young, elderly, infirm, in need or poor ? Is it fueled by LOVE ALL SERVE ALL , USALL, or … blind obedience, misplaced trust, ideologically amped FEAR, concomitant anxiety therein, looking for, clinging to a savior, a “save”, albeit hazily promised~renegged~shuffled by explosively problematic antihero. Reexamine please … how did we the people, fall for this, why at all would we the people submit to this tyrannical tun ? as a nation, a recently leading democratic nation of the world ?
Sprinklings of U.A.P. headline hype, push to amp testosterone levels, blowing up every point of potential distraction~contention along limbic ( partisanized, siloed, deep state, evangelic, conspiracy hot button ) lines, spiraling down to a same drain, ideoillogical pipeline, neomerica in an officially armed, abetted, dangerous, and legal~dodgy American fascist lane. Paid for with taxpayer dollars, our tax dollars at wark, a beast with no nation, demonstrably NO LOVE love for Our Peoples and Life of Our Lands, that which feeds we, except as transactional, a commodity.. On the fake, redefine relanguage actual virtues as pernicious, media~cudgeon. Carve out profit and take, take, take.
Dysamerica, Dysmedia, Demonize Inc.
I understand that right wing neo think~feel might classify the above as flatly “commie” or extreme left lib, iIn lately admin nomenclature, newly defined as ” antifa “, or spelled out, a n t i f a s c is t. Hmmm .. that phrase has apparently been officially flipped on its head? Previously and recently the United States of America~ns were overwhelmingly anti~fascist ( fascist states characterized by extreme nationalism, cult of rough~tough personality, suppression of political opposition, often state~religious confluence, strict state control and censorship broadly in culture, arts, media and private~public life) !?
Again, 1984der.
If we read about these compacted cumulative actions in another country, our erstwhile own country’s Leadership and Citizens would be Alarmed and Loudly Critical. Our abandoned world allies certainly are. These actions are blatantly UNmerica. Is Official lying and sidestepping a neo~normed tactic and performance? Is ( right ) wing extremism and Official belligerence / roughness / violence a neo~virtue? Seems kinda medieval ~ crusadey Great ? and terrible.
This roguery, this runaway train is not heading to our ALL AMERICAN DREAMERS DESTINATION. This is NOT the American basket many passionately imagined, worked, sacrificed, fought and died for, an abundant ALL AMERICANS cornucopia, a basket woven to collect and embrace we, This Land is Our Land. Rather, a white, bruising, and Red~Raging minds and hearts in a box~deadfall trap.
A truly integrated national Healing and course correction is going to require Work and Listening, among First Nations, immigrations, all generations, all earthnicities, All Our Relations Living LOVE among ALLAWE the Peeps !
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Emma Lazarus
November 2, 1883
