I’m just going to get this statement out of the way. The president is an elected, temporary public servant. Not a ruler. Nobody should be swearing allegiance to them, under any circumstances, no matter who they are. The oath we take when we join the military is to the constitution alone.

“It’s a Roman salute” In case you hadn’t noticed, the Roman Empire hasn’t existed for over 1500 years and a few things have changed since then so WTF does that have to do with anything?

You know what strikes me? Out of all the things Trump has done this week, not a single one helps a single person. Literally 10s of millions of people are hurt by the things he's done, but not one is helped. It's beyond cruelty; it's malice by governance.

For all those wondering how Hispanics could vote for Trump, my first encounter with bigotry was my Mexican grandmother, getting mad at me for playing with the black kids across the street, and she taught me my first slur in regards to the gay guy that lived down the street.

You can watch the Trump administration play DEI whac-a-mole with employee policies and public websites on GitHub, which is automatically cataloguing all of the changes the 18F agency is frantically making to its internal and external webpages: www.404media.co/github-is-sh...

I have a feeling we are going to be posting this one a lot over the next several years as the poem “First they came” becomes increasingly more relevant.

Well, I started the year off with a bang and landed in the hospital over stress. This years goals: Make some new friends. Focus on the positive amidst the horrors. Work towards the dreams I forgot about. Finish writing that damn book.

Despite all the hate they get from a certain population of the country, Mexico is always willing to help when there is a need. We are lucky to have such tolerant caring neighbors.

So here’s the plan. A bunch of us get together and form a corporation, then buy an apartment complex and make it an urban commune. Nobody makes a profit off of it, and we share the maintenance responsibilities by skill sets. Movie nights, pot lucks, maybe some gardens, who’s in?!

You are up to date.
