This (oh my, I can’t find a good word that’s not offensive to someone) daily roundup of news gets more surreal by the minute. Who in their right minds would have ever even remotely imagined our lives so upended by politics and politicians who simply have no connection to or slightest concern for the people they represent and who refuse to even listen when we try to talk to them? I fought for women’s rights, for rights for chronic pain patients, and now look at what they want…and ARE…doing to roll back everything we thought was established law.
This scenario is not new…it’s not even innovative...they’re just following the authoritarian playbook almost to the letter except they can do so much more damage today.
Finally, I’m glad I’m old(er) and maybe can escape the worst of what’s coming. Cut off my SS and healthcare and I won’t be able to just suck it up and get through it like I always thought I could when I was younger. My fear is for young people, kids, those of us without community, my niece and her child, to make it closer to home. We stand together against this collective madness that’s taken over the ones now in power. I just hope we continue to be loud enough to be heard over all the bot noise, selfishness and downright meanness we see getting stronger in the halls of power.
I really wonder— if you Americans know how pathetic you all look, to the outside world. You fight amongst yourselves.. Democrats V Republicans, black vs. white, religion against religion, actually you all fight over every single topic. From an outside perspective, you're like the bullies in the sand pit.. You think you should be number one, with every other country below you but never equal to you right? What're your saying?.. God bless America and no one else Right? You create the weapons, the war and interfere in every other country on the planet. “You're the eternal agitators”.. And not since Trump but since “ALWAYS”. It's clear anyway that no president is in charge. There is something much more sinister going on behind the scenes. All that money going to defence budgets and it should be providing every damn citizen— with Free healthcare, number one priority today.. Food in your stomach, number two.. No more of this bull shit, war mongering, money drainers. You want all your kids 18+ sent overseas to these wars? Dem or Rep— The only time your sons and daughters should be getting ready for war, is if you need to fight an invasion on your own soil.. And that could definitely happen 99% of the world's problems are caused by the American oligarchy/elite class. You all should be embarrassed to call yourself American, the world is really starting to hate you all. And for you Democrats.. the way you carry on like little children, sore little losers of the election.. And you guys fucking sucked— when you held all the seats and all the power.. Fucking disgusting all of you.
Get it together or there will be suffering on this planet like never before and you will be to blame..
Fuck make America great again, how about make the world great again— 2000 years of peace, is what you all should be fighting for.. Abolish the insurance companies.. Stop letting corporations and billionaires run the show..
Stand up for yourself for fuck sake.
Much love to the peacekeepers..

(with free healthcare and a 4% unemployment rate) You could have that too, if you work together.. Dumb ass’s.
I'm a second generation Miamian who escaped in 1978. Even the most brainwashed trumper would not want to go through the traffic and parking hassles to visit the library. That location would be a good spot for another campus. It is situated right next to a old black, thriving neighborhood that was tore apart by creation of I95. The adjoining community could walk to the campus.
Ironic: Adjacent Freedom Tower is original home of Miami Daily News, and welcoming center for Cubans fleeing communism. Two things Trump hates: Media and immigrants.
As a floridian taxpayer is there anything we can do to get those 3 acres back?
Doubtful. A 3 acre lot is chump change to everything else our corrupt government (local and federal) is doing.
I hope Carl Hiaasen writes another great novel about this. Maybe "Squeeze Us in Miami"?

Well, at least we know a great spot for a public restroom in downtown now.

Hopefully in the next hurricane it will be in the very lowest area and flood.
