Running On Empty?
We cannot afford to, so fill up here!
Jackson Browne (one of my favorite singer/song writers), wrote a song called “Running On Empty,” and though today I feel exactly like that, as I am sure most of you do too, after the overload and tsunami of badness coming from the Musk-trump-MAGAT world. But we cannot afford to run on fumes of their false piety and evil-doing and theft of our properties and careers that we worked so hard to achieve. We just can’t, because if we do? Then truly, all WILL be lost, and not just threatened into obscurity like our Democracy is, right now, today.
I watched a Democratic Senator, Chris Murphy, on his YouTube video today while he was in chambers making a hell-raising speech against the theft, the brazen theft of our treasury, the breaking of our US agencies that protect us from people like them, and the smashing of our very security as a nation of laws, and I have to say I got pissed all over again. I filled up on that rage, that fear, and those emotions that fuel my fight against trump and his MAGATS and Musk, and all those other billionaires who are profiting off of this bilking of our tax dollars to make themselves even more powerful and rich. I posted that video on Blue Sky and I hope you get to watch it because he lists every damned action that trump and Musk have taken in just six freaking weeks! And I have got to tell you all that I had already forgotten some of them! Just imagine that they have overwhelmed me with so much that I, an avid activist, forgot some!
My mind is still blown that The Voice of America has been silenced. Is yours? Have you even seen what happened? I know we all have to live our lives, and that not everyone can pay as much attention to what is actually going on right in front of our noses, like I can, but dude!
The Voice of America going silent should have gotten your attention!
Right?
