ICYMI: Feast for Bombs, Famine for Brains
From Rome to Flint to wherever ICE snatched that sick kid, history keeps repeating, and it’s still an asshole.
Ah, another week in the Land of the Freezer‑Burnt, where billionaires feed bombs while kids go hungry, democracy is treated like a rental car, and cruelty remains the only bipartisan hobby. If you thought this week would offer even a flicker of sanity, bless your naïve little heart. Let’s peel back the festering bandages and take a good, hard look at the mess they’re calling “leadership.”

Budget List: War? YES! Children? Nah
America’s ally-in-arms budget logic: one Ford‑class aircraft carrier costs more than feeding and educating dozens of towns. Meanwhile, our representatives squabble over whether to “afford” school meals or maternal vaccines. Nothing says national security like sacrificing the future for flashy military toys.
Make Elections Great Again (for Election Grabbers)”
Marjorie’s latest proposal wants to restore “integrity” in elections by tossing out votes from undocumented people. One problem: They are already prohibited from voting in federal elections. Translation: eligible voters are being targeted, and she is collecting headlines, not votes. Hint: the real fraud? Undermining democracy.
Making American Elections Great Again? Not So Fast.
Marjorie Taylor Greene unveiled her latest legislative stunt this month, the “Making American Elections Great Again” Act. With a name that echoes Trump’s infamous (borrowed from Reagan) slogan, the bill promises to protect American elections by counting only U.S. citizens in the Census, requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, and re…
Lead’s Empire Strikes Back
Humans have been aware of the dangers of lead pipes for over two millennia, yet we still await the EPA's action. The crisis in Flint wasn’t a glitch; it's part of a centuries-long sweep under the rug. Rome, meet neglect.
From Rome to Flint: 2,000 Years of Lead and Neglect
“Water is much more wholesome from earthenware pipes than from lead pipes. For it seems to be made injurious by lead, because this is harmful to the human body.”
Honest Dad, Heartless ICE
A father follows the law, shows up for court, brings his sick child with leukemia, and ICE whisks the kid away in cuffs. That’s not enforcement, it’s cruelty by design. At what point does humanity say, “Enough”?
Grounded: Anti-Knowledge Takes Flight
Budget cuts, deleted data, vanishing researchers—Washington isn’t just failing science, it’s actively grounding it. Democracy’s co‑pilot is radio silence, and the cockpit’s empty.
If you're waiting for justice, hope you brought a tent. It’s gonna be a long vigil. From civic hygiene to civil rights, the fight isn’t paused—it’s on cruise control… cruising us straight into a dumpster fire. Stay furious, stay loud, and don’t let the overlords pretend this is “normal.”
Catch you next week, probably with more reasons to scream into the void.

My take on ICE and their illegal arrests (race profiling) imagines these "agents" as "hand picked" Supremacists for the purpose of terrorizing immigrants but even worse for the purpose of sublimating America to king asshole's ruling. History will look back and blame as I do, DEMS weaknesses traded by "civility" as highlighted by Garland. The wrong AG for America, at a time when we needed real balls, but got instead, castrated well-meaning but ineffective AG.
differences and pluralism was varied perspective is the right wings biggest dilemma and one that cannot exist as it is fear based - confusing - and unable to learn or teach - but I guess that is the point
