Seven Months Under the Heel of T***p -- July 31, 2025


The first seven months of 2025 have been miserable. We have both been sick, either one at a time or both together for the whole summer. We may have had Covid, but didn't test for until it was too late.

The day he was sworn into office, T***p started disgorging a massive number of executive orders dedicated to things like revoking birthright citizenship, removing the US from the World Health Organization, the Paris Climate Accords and wiping out all traces of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. He has made savage attacks against LGBTQ people, especially those who are trans. 

His drunken Secretary of Defense has dismissed women, a general and admiral, who commanded West Point an Annapolis. 

He wants National Parks and Monuments to remove anything from their historical markers which might hurt the feelings of white people. 

ICE is scooping up people with brown skin and deporting many of them to other countries, where they have no connections. There is no due process, and the cowardly ICE goons wear masks and hide their badges or other ids.

The drunken Secretary of Defense participated in a call discussing an upcoming military operation on Signal, which is not allowed for calls with sensitive information; the call included a reporter who got invited by mistake. 

T***p turned the levers of government and access to all its information to Elon Musk and a gang of young people of college age or less.  The so-called Department of Government Efficiency fired thousands of Federal workers, many of whom were veterans. They shut down critical agencies like USAID. They consolidated all the data they could get, probably so they could create a database of citizens. T***p and Musk eventually broke up, but not before they crippled large parts of the government.

Oligarchy and fascism seem to be the goal, as set out in Project 2025.

I've been depressed. Fortunately, the courts have struck down some of his idiocies and people are resisting. On top of all that, T***p is showing signs of growing senility.

"According to Jane Taylor, 'the central character is notorious for his infantile engagement with his world. Ubu inhabits a domain of greedy self-gratification'. Jarry's metaphor for the modern man, he is an antihero—fat, ugly, vulgar, gluttonous, grandiose, dishonest, stupid, jejune, voracious, greedy, cruel, cowardly and evil..." -- Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubu_Roi

Swastikar -- March 21, 2025


I took this photo of a Swastikar in the parking lot at Pedro Point on 02-March-2025. When Tesla first started, I thought it would be wonderful to see a new American auto manufacturer be born and thrive. But then it turned out that the primary owner of the company had fascist sympathies and actively participated in destroying our government. I find the concept revolting, but I like the color.
