Finding Hope in Despair
I republish this poem from my book, One Moment, One Chance, Always: Finding Hope in Despair.
I wrote this book after the November, 2024 election, feeling that we all would soon need to find hope in despair. It seems that time is now...
Spirit spoke with the
people, encouraging them to wake up and to look inside themselves, for therein breathed
the way forward through the bedlam.
Beings of Light & Love
‘The
sneer upon the wolf’s countenance
as it anticipates the taste of its first
kill
Spirit suggests
that we answer its question
‘What blinds the lambs to
their certain peril?’
Without ado,
lest we run away, spirit follows,
‘You are the lambs led now to the
slaughter.
‘Unfeasible,
we are an advanced, learned society.’
‘What
you augur is impossible in the United States!’
‘But we
have a system designed to fend off dictators.’
‘The
reality you prophesy is horrendous, preposterous!
When we try to hold this unbearable
vision, it vanishes
‘Why
would you ask us to step willingly into this nightmare?
We endeavor so to not fall into fear, to
walk instead in love.
‘Because if you view the
world as it is, you can create solutions.’
‘Yes, if
you succumb to your fear, it will compromise your abilities.
Rather, honor the lessons it offers, then
choose your path forward.
‘Every
one of you was born with distinctive gifts to offer in this moment.
The gifts will come to the fore when
opportunities surface to offer them.
No more, lambs led to
slaughter. Now arise powerful beings of light and love.
Fired FTC commissioner sounds ‘blinking red alarm’
over apparent rise of billionaire power under Trump
The US is in the midst of an extraordinary battle between “the rule of law versus the rule of billionaires”, a top Democratic government official and attorney has warned, after his unprecedented firing by Donald Trump.
Alvaro Bedoya, abruptly terminated as a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week, sounded a “blinking red alarm” over backroom “quid pro quo” dealmaking he said appears to be taking place inside the Trump administration.

The Resistance Is Alive & Well
That Americans seem to be rediscovering the art, science and potency of noncooperation – combined with a robust protest capacity and legal action – shows that resistance against Trump’s agenda in America is not only alive and well. It is savvy, diversifying and probably just getting started.

trump Goes After Our Right to VOTE
Trump signs sweeping executive order targeting election rules
If allowed to go into effect, it could disrupt how Americans vote and have their ballots counted in ways that may disenfranchise many legitimate voters for every potential illegitimate voter it stops...
Hasen also said any change to the voter registration form is “huge.” He called the order an attempt to circumvent Congress to put the ideas outlined in the Republican-led SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, on the federal registration form.
Trump’s Latest Order Will Disenfranchise Millions/Sec. of State Adrian Fontes
Here is a sampling of what's coming...
The requirement to show proof of citizenship would apply to new voters as well as existing voters who update their registrations, such as after a move or name change.
But one in 10 voting-age American citizens, or an estimated 21.3 million people, either don't have a proof-of-citizenship document like a birth certificate, passport or naturalization certificate, or don't have easy access to one, according to a 2023 survey commissioned by voting rights groups. The survey found people of color are more likely not to have a document proving citizenship.
Obtaining these documents takes time and money. Only about 43% of Americans have passports, according to an analysis by the Voting Rights Lab. The bill says voters can show an ID that indicates citizenship, but currently only five states — Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington — offer IDs that meet that criteria.
Voters who don't have a citizenship document with a photo, like a passport, would need to show two documents — such as a government-issued photo ID along with a document proving citizenship, like a birth certificate.
"Adding more requirements to the process — especially costly, unnecessary ones that are a sudden and dramatic departure from existing requirements — will depress turnout overall," said Lauren Kunis, executive director of VoteRiders, a nonpartisan organization that helps people obtain ID to vote.
------------------------
The “SAVE” Act’s barriers could strip millions of eligible Americans of our right to vote – especially the 146 million Americans without passports and the 69 million American women whose birth certificates don’t match their married names. [1]
It’s a direct assault on our voting rights, targeting seniors, women, students, veterans, and rural voters the most.

How Many of These are True Today?
As tyrants take control of democracies, they typically:
1. Demand personal loyalty from all appointees.
2. Organize military parades and other choreographed shows of force.
3. Threaten to fire independent prosecutors who get too close to the truth.
4. Spread conspiracy theories about "deep state" forces seeking to oust the tyrant.
5. Refer to top-ranking military leaders as "my" generals.
6. Threaten to jail political opponents.
7. Claim to have won an election by a landslide even after losing the popular vote.
8. Stoke tensions abroad, even the specter of nuclear war, to distract from the tyrant's efforts to consolidate power at home.
9. Circumvent the independent press and communicate directly with followers.
10. Vilify legislators and judges who are critical of the regime.
11. Repeatedly claim massive voter fraud in the absence of any evidence, in order to restrict voting in subsequent elections.
12. Turn the public against journalists or media outlets that criticize the regime, calling them “deceitful” and “scum.”
13. Repeatedly tell big lies, causing the public to doubt the truth and to believe fictions that support the tyrants’ goals
14. Blame economic stresses on immigrants or racial or religious minorities, and foment public bias and hatred against them.
15. Threaten mass deportations, registries of religious minorities, and the banning of refugees.
16. Attribute acts of domestic violence to “enemies within,” and use such events as excuses to beef up internal security and limit civil liberties.
17. Appoint family members to high positions of authority.
18. Draw no distinction between personal property and public property, profiteering from public office.
19. Make personal alliances with foreign dictators, but express indifference if not defiance toward leaders of democracies.
20. Maintain a powerful propaganda arm that claims to be "fair and balanced" but only amplifies the tyrant's lies and accusations.
Trump Regime Decimates Social Security
Dodge takes away pens, paper and headsets to answer phones as they close offices, fire staff and require elders and those with disabilities to personally visit remaining offices.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, O'Malley said: "The Musk/Trump co-presidency has already taken 90% of the actions necessary to drive Social Security into a total system collapse."
It follows the publication of a Washington Post article regarding the "breaking down" of the federal agency, which includes reports that customer service phone lines are failing, in-person appointments are scarce, and online claims for benefits are "piling up."
It's no secret that the SSA has come under DOGE's hammer in recent weeks, much to the alarm of lawmakers, advocate groups and former officials. In recent months, the agency has begun laying off 7,000 employees, closing field offices and mandating in-person identity checks as a result of ongoing cost-saving and fraud mitigation.

DOGE cuts caused the Social Security website to crash four times in 10 days, leaving millions of recipients unable to log in. Office managers are answering phones instead of receptionists because so many Social Security employees have been laid off. Phone services have been eliminated. Field offices are being cut.
