Artillery Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marines’ Celebration, California Officials Say www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u... … like I was saying

Much more should be made of this attach on Americans on American soil. the extent to which this administration is trying to terrorize citizens is evidenced by 1. Not sharing info w the Gov of Ca 2. Not initially planning to close I 5, and 3. Have Hegs and Vance fly out to stir up the forces🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😡😡😡😡

We the people are just now realizing the shiny phones and cameras and on-line conveniences that have become our crutches - are all distractions from the brilliant tools they are for destroying our rights and privacies.

Today’s thought I woke up to:
Solidarity is the way through trauma

Smithsonian Institutions are meant to tell the stories of all Americans, taken across locations, periods and peoples. They represent US. Not meant to tell only one kind of story to one kind of people.

Call this period in time for America what historians will call it in the future: The Great Regression. Regressive tariffs, policies; racial, familial and sexual political UNdoings. We will survive this time, barely, and emerge from it like the lemurs, gasping for oxygen.
