Morning Coffee Roundup - Saint Upid.
Saint Upid.
How are the market futures looking this morning, Donny Dumbo?
(Thank you, Mistress Maddie, for the meme - I'd like that on a prayer candle, it will shove nicely up the kind folks asses who voted for this absolute moron.)
We need everyone.
I have written here about my family history with activism; where my courage was summoned from. That was my story. It is not everyone’s story.
I am organizing a
local Hands Off! Rally this weekend to coincide with the nationwide
day of protest initiative. At this time, there are over 1,000
rallies slated across the country for April 5. When I first began to
publicize the event, I had a handful of close friends – of my
vintage – whom I thought would want to be a part of this
groundswell. Initially it was all positive.
After weeks of President Dicktater Trump
administrations regimes "American Gestapo" ICE, carrying out unconstitutional arrests and deportations, vocal threats against anyone considered
and “activist”, labeling activism as “terrorism”, most all of
those friends have politely backed out of the event – citing just
an overwhelming sense of fear. Fear of being identified, fear of retaliation; maybe not
immediately, but down the road. I can’t, in good consciousness,
tell these dear friends “It will be okay!”, when… that okay is mostly uncertain. That I, myself, am having some rising fear for the safety of my family, if my black husband decides to protest with me - will he be opened up for attack just by the color of his skin? The best I can offer my friends is my sympathy and my
understanding of the decisions they… each of us… have to make to
stand up to dictatorship and authoritarian rule. That decision has to come from a personal place; and to respect that decision if it does not jibe with mine.
As Dr. Jordan Fields put it:
Stay safe.
Onward!

ICYMI - Corey Booker on fire.
One of hundreds of highlights of Senator Booker! To paraphrase Obi Wan, "The spine is strong in this one!"
What's in a name?
I give to you...

RIP - Nick Rivers
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Val Kilmer, the brooding, versatile actor who played fan favorite Iceman in “Top Gun,” donned a voluminous cape as Batman in “Batman Forever” and portrayed Jim Morrison in “The Doors,” has died. He was 65.
Kilmer died Tuesday night in Los Angeles, surrounded by family and friends, his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, said in an email to The Associated Press.
Val Kilmer died from pneumonia. He had recovered after a 2014 throat cancer diagnosis that required two tracheotomies.
Of course, let's not forget his role as "Nick Rivers" in the ZAZ classic "Top Secret!".
RIP, Val.
