Clueless Hatred
If cruelty is the engine, the stupidity is the driver
I am heartbroken. I feel so sick. I feel such anger and despair, such rage, indignation and fury.
I feel so beyond anything that I can properly describe with words. It is this visceral hatred. I feel it with my whole being. I feel it like an impending lightning strike that just hasn’t struck me yet. I feel the hair on my arms rise as this anxiety builds with more and more extreme acts of cruelty.
I feel this ongoing dread that asks,
“Is this the moment they have gone too far?”
“Is this just the beginning?”
“Is there going to be a moment when the people have had enough?”
“Is this the moment that restraint has finally unraveled and shots ring out from both sides of this conflict?”
“Will this be the moment when president invokes the insurrection act?”
I see those dead eyes, under Kristi Noem's surgically altered cheeks and her lack of expression while she delivers her pre-written remarks that no matter what happened, no matter how innocent the victim was, they are “domestic terrorists.”
From the woman who was an award-winning poet to the man who worked as an ICU nurse in the VA. It makes no difference to these monsters wearing human tuxedos.
They cannot be human if they have the gall to outright deny that these were Trump-created extrajudicial killings.
What could have happened to these people? Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, Karoline Leavitt, and the thousands of incels currently working for the terroristic organization called ICE.
How can so many people be so mentally ill? They are actively attacking our own brothers and sisters. They are filled with such demonic rage that they can't even consider the fact that what they are doing is wrong.
They claim to be defending the country. But what they are doing now has not remotely improved things. What kind of upside-down, Kool-Aid bullshit are they drinking?
We don't send militias into our streets with six weeks of training. This is not how this country operates. This is all done under a false pretext to “make America great again.”
Like I have said many times before. America was never great. This has been and always will be a nation with an ugly past and ongoing flaws. Flaws we have been working on for the last two and a half centuries are expected.
But adding to it with this monstrous force authorized to do essentially whatever it wants. That's gross, and I thought maybe people would have evolved beyond this type of behavior.
If anything, it appears that many people have devolved. This type of brute use of force is nothing but juvenile unresolved rage that somehow has found an outlet in committing criminal acts while centralizing it all in one pool of sludge and bigotry called ICE.
There will be consequences to all of this, and there will be trials and a permanent stain on this nation because of these events in this last year. There will be an accounting for these crimes. People will go to jail or worse for these unforgivable acts of cruelty.
As I stated at the beginning of this article, I am heartbroken. I feel on the verge of screaming every day as I am sure many of you do. I believe there is more awful on the way, and unfortunately the only way is to go through. We are on a difficult path, and every generation has unfortunately had to encounter something very arduous as well.
We have an advantage over the Germans of WWII; today everybody knows, if they choose to know what is happening.
It is proven to be so since we can relay information almost instantaneously. It is proven by the millions that have come out in protest. It has been shown through the rejection by many of the world leaders to go along with the stupidity of DT's foreign policy agenda.
We have these advantages, and we also have a huge percentage of the population on our side. We outnumber these people if we continue to organize. We are only just starting to realize our power. We must continue even if you're scared.
It is the only way to remove this cancer from our world.
Love you all.

I am no longer so sure that these people will ever be properly held to account. You see the way they are protecting Renee Good’s killer. Allowing him to fundraise on social media. As if he is the victim. Trying to buy our silence with fear. And those with the power, and indeed the responsibility, to keep the executive branch in check are complicit in their silence and inaction. I’m disappointed in my own Democratic Senator who asks constituents to write in about how they’ve suffered at the hands of the Trump administration, and then don’t bother to respond. Even when the stories are extremely troubling. It’s performative bullshit designed to make us feel better without actually lifting a finger to do a damn thing. It’s easy to talk the talk. Not so easy to walk the walk.
I’m also physically ill, crying all day and watching in shock and horror. Imagine Obama & Harris ordering these horrific acts against us. It’s surreal.
