When the end of this right-wing fascist revival experiences its downfall, we as community and nation must grapple with the fact that we let this happen. We allowed right wing policies to erode the strength of our public education system. A thriving public education system is our first obligation.
As citizens of the world and the USA, we have a solemn duty to stay informed. Right wing billionaires and the Republican party are defying our rights and our duties by disseminating lies and right wing propaganda.

We are fortunate to live into old age. But our fortune is not about comfortable retirement, rest, good health, routine, protection, independence, forgiveness, or our family’s respect.

I intend to do more sharing from the news and information that I regularly digest. These are reliable, trustworthy sources of news and information, as well as authoritative analyses of the stories that corporate news agencies pass over.
Perhaps the most successful distraction of all was this one: while Texas voters decried abortion rights, public school indoctrination, liberal elites, LGBTQ people, and whether women should work outside the home or lead a nation, the Texas government grew its autocratic power. Texans can dance the two-step, throw a football, wrestle a steer, shrink their blue jeans, build a mini-mansion, vacation in Galveston, ban books about LGBTQ characters in their school libraries, support MAGA, or boycott DEI programs all day and every which way but, they cannot undo without a revolution the Republican’s corrupt authoritarian power in Austin.
Many are finally saying aloud what has been noticeable and true since the 1980s: Donald J Trump has below average intelligence, is willfully ignorant, and uses school-boy arrogance to deflect. Many are finally saying aloud what has been noticeable and true since 2024: Donald J Trump’s mental health is deteriorating to such an extent that he should not chair his own businesses much less a nation. He is irrational, erratic, and unreliable.
