Yes, we gave trump what he wanted.

Just like we did to the British 249 years ago.

I'm willing to see if it sparks, to nationwide & see the people in Washington shit their pants.

One if by land, two if by sea!.

but geez, he deports citizens without due process. Something was bound to happen. I do wish they hadn't burned a Waymo vehicle.

They have my congested heart under control with medicine. They al have my kidney function well enough to stave off kidney dialysis (it's still touch & go though). Now I'm trying to learn to walk again.

But I'm hanging in there. Thanks for asking.

What would you do ? They sent Jews to the concentration camps and people are constantly saying why didn’t they fight back. These people are fighting back , maybe they are not doing it the way that makes you feel comfortable but they have been pushed to do these things, the courts are slow and the media is compromised. I knew he was going to set the world on fire but he has exceeded my expectations.

It was directed at the people who put comfort above supporting people whose backs are against the wall. Poor choice of the word. I see so many people wringing their hands about a car, not understanding the desperation these people feel but the way tangerine despot is going we might be joining them.

So good to see you, Bill. I am glad to hear that you are healing, one step at a time.

I tried calling a number that I had of yours, we exchanged numbers a long time ago and I never throw out anything. However I just kept getting an automated message that it could not be completed as dialed.

Know that we are all pulling for you and that you are loved.

Miss you~

My number changed at the beginning of the year when I changed carriers. I wanted a fresh number. I can give you my new number via PM if you want it. & also thank you for the pics.

I love that they projected those images in Boston and on that famous church. Go Boston.

I figured that you had changed the number. I remember (in the olden days ) when directory assistance had a recording that stated the number had been changed and the new number is ###. Perhaps that was only good for land lines and not cells. Yes, please PM me, Bill.

I believe it is a DU member who made that first sign for a protest and was shown on Rachel Maddow
It must be fun for her to see it taking off

That's wonderful news, so keep up the good work. Walking is hard when you've been down for so long, but keep trying and, with time, you'll get it. I'm really happy to hear this news.
