It's time to add the over 3.3 million US territorial citizens to those who would become eligible to vote for POTUS at age 18.  They should have members in Congress and Senators representing them:  They are American Samoa, Guam, North Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and The U.S Virgin Islands.  Puerto Rico would become the 10th most populous state in the union.

Ghosted

I think I just missed a turn 
I shouldn’t have made
I just paid a toll I shouldn’t have paid.
Life has dreams that never come true, 
He said, “take a chance on me, I took a chance with you.”

And I got ghosted
Yeah, I got ghosted
He turned every fear I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

Some carry grievances
They refuse to evaluate.
I think it’s time I say
I was one of those who wanted to retaliate!
I let you lead me astray.
I let you lead me into hate.
I guess it’s on me to accept the cause of my fate.

I got ghosted
Yeah you ghosted me
You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

I think I missed the adrenaline rush
I shouldn’t have been so inhuman
that’s the drug we all been dealt
It’s the drug that you been pushin’
My life had dreams that never came true, 
So, I took a chance, I took a chance, and I was a fool. 

And then I got ghosted. 
Yeah, you ghosted me.

You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing here in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

HCR 08172025:

Trump has misunderstood the nature of power in a democracy at home, too. Rather than building domestic coalitions to support the government, he is overseeing the takeover of the government by a radical minority that seems to think the way to build power is for the government to attack its own people.

The administration’s defunding of scientific research, medical care, environmental protection, food safety and security, and emergency management all threaten Americans’ health, safety, and security. Its attacks on history and education, as well as its firing of women and racial and gender minorities, seem designed to drive wedges among Americans. Its incarceration and disappearing of undocumented migrants both creates an “other” for Trump loyalists to hate and provides a warning of what could happen to the regime’s opponents.

Now, under the guise of fighting crime, the administration has quite literally turned guns on the American people.

an excerpted poem American Dream Ballad © by Byron Haskins

I want to be free
I want you to be free with me
I'm dreaming of democracy

I'm thinking of a place
without someone criticizing me
where love is in the blood
without toxic waste.
where who you love 
is a matter if taste.
thinking a place
where they don't rip you off
where's there's not struggle 
to be on top
where they don't just 
lock you up
with great women and men
and everyone defends
democracy

where slavery was fought
where cultures were brought
where hatred is out
where friends are sought

it's time to do some freedom
it's time to do some democracy
adios to projects against America
bienvenu a amor
do you wanna be free?
do you wanna free me?
come dream with me
maybe its a dream
but lets take America back
to democracy.

You can help the frogs return by following these steps:

1. Preserve wetlands and establish gardens where frogs can live.

2. Avoid using pesticides in water sources.

3. Choose soaps and cleaning agents that help conserve species. Some soluble cleansers will maintain water safety.

behind these walls

Obviously, vigilante violence does nothing good for any cause. What is needed is courageous politicking. Read these words: 

“And one of my biggest frustrations with many people whose politics I otherwise share is the unwillingness to match the seriousness of your politics to the seriousness of your alarm. I see a [fill in the gap] Party that often just wants to do nothing differently, even though it is failing — failing in the most obvious and consequential ways it can possibly fail.

I am probably not the person who knows how to do things differently. I have ideas that are about abundance and ideas that are about [fill in the gap], and we can talk about them, but whatever it is, it shouldn’t just be drifting forward.

If you want to talk about what looks to me like despair and pessimism, it isn’t that a couple random people on both sides, as you know, have picked up guns. It is that the people in actual power who are sane and are clear thinking are doing almost nothing differently. They’re failing and rethinking nothing, at least not on any profound level. And I actually find that very worrying.

I would like to see right now, in the rooms I am aware of, much more profound forms of restrategizing going on.”- Ezra Klein
