Morning Peeps,
As I'm starting to be able to feel again, I am sleeping better and I'm even going to do some cleaning today (Beer Cans fill trash cans quickly) as the Mikster comes back home on Tuesday.
And I guess I'm secretly a bit gleeful about these MAGAts finding out that OWNING THE LIBS has some costs.
Like...
TARIFFS
HIGHER TAXES
HIGHER GROCERY COSTS
LESS FOOD AVAILABLE
But you go ahead MAGAts and revel in owning the Libs.
@VeganHiker this is something that currently is being attempted at the provincial level in alberta. more to give resource extraction rights to companies than giving pristine nature reserves to the rich to live on. it's to mine beauty which will leave it ugly. land that has been gifted in perpetuity for generations of albertans & cdns to enjoy.
it's an issue that brought together very disparate groups on the left & right to fight it.
Trump plan is to sell off portions of our National Parks so the wealthy can live on the land preserved for over a century for ALL Americans to enjoy.
I believe Montana will be be the epicenter of the new Civil War. Montanans always unite over public land use. Right, left, center, hunter, vegans, fisherman, hikers, etc. I seen them band together to preserve public land access.
Here are some National Park photos so we we never forget what we once had.

Bingo. We are not a nation of law and order, or compassion for our fellow neighbors equality (this was our experiment). Truth is, we are a nation ruled by wealth and "Christianity". I believe this just became more true than at any time in our history.
As Donald Trump won the election, his far-right supremacist supporters sparked a wave of misogynistic abuse https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-10/donald-trump-win-4b-movement-male-supremacists-make-threats/104575732
The Knoxville, Tenn. community was left in shock after a historic building on the campus of East Tenn.โs only Black college was burned to the ground Monday, Nov 4th.
Authorities believe it wasnโt just an errant spark or bad fuse box that caused the fire โ theyโre looking for the culprit.
The fire, which was reportedly visible from downtown, did irreparable damage to the 100-year-old building on the campus of Knoxville College, leaving the already struggling HBCU further deprived.
They chose to listen to the ones spewing hate. You're damned right I will shame them.
I read last night (foggy?) about some company CEO informing his staff that there would be:
"No Christmas bonuses until employees bought $X in company products"
It's 05h44 here, so I'm not awake enough to "defog" and track it down.
Reading also, that "boys are sending girls on TikTok notes: 'your body, my choice'..."
Trump voters shot themselves in the foot & they don't know it yet.
Tariffs will cause companies to down size. When their union wages, overtime, health benefits, vacation and sick leave are gone the pain will catch up.
We must fight on to shore up our democracy. Do not shame the uninformed the manipulation to subvert the truth was epic. At least those of us who know what is coming can begin to prepare.
Three people have been charged in relation to the death of former One Direction member Liam Payne in Argentina last month, an official says. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/07/americas/liam-payne-charged-buenos-aires-intl-latam
As a coping mechanism I am going to reread some of The Stoics. Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus to start.
For enlightenment I am rereading The Prophet by Kalil Gibran
I fear this is going to be a long winter. One that will test our souls.
#meditation to reset my mind.
PSA - get your documents to prove your citizenship now. If you wait until you need them, it will be too late.

Dear Joe:
It's a good day to implement "Presidential Official Act immunity."
Call me: I'm drafting the Executive Order text, which prevents an "elected" candidate from "Holding" the office, per Amendment 14, Section 3.
NB: after reading Roberts' decision twice, they prevented Colorado from 'election disqualification' but remained silent on 'holding'.
Good morning groovy souls.
Feeling better today, overall. I've been hitting the grass a bit to hard, not to mention the snacks, but there is at least a feeling of equilibrium this morning.
"As much as I wish things were different, this is where I am right now"
It's time to take a deep breath, acknowledge the stress, and take the next steps, no matter how big or small they are.
Prognostications of the next 4 years fly, but I think its important to remember that we are always the X factor.
