SoCS - Tonight, we mourn.

Well, hell. Any thoughts on what I might do with the stream of consciousness prompt flew right out the window with the news of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death. I thought nothing could touch me anymore, that we'd really reached the depths, but apparently 2020 just takes that as a challenge now. Lord only knows what the next three months will bring but for tonight I'm mourning the loss of this incredible woman. She fought tirelessly for women's rights. For years RBG worked to dismantle injustice in every possible form, ascending to the highest court in the land when Bill Clinton nominated…

I Protest

I Protest Paralyzed Thoughts scrambled in a head heavy with fog This cannot be happening The death of democracy is staring me square in the eyes Liberty and freedom snatched from the arms that lifted those too weary too poor too hungry Our pride in country squashed stolen The dumbing down of a nation willingly following a pied piper like blind fools A cheap trickster lining his pockets from the coffers of society I am frozen in time watching helplessly as a fascist robs us of democracy while spitting on our constitution I protest I protest I protest …

What About the Economy Stupid

Prime Minister Mia Mottley continued the recent trend of making controversial and contentious announcements. She revealed government's recommendation to rename the University of the West Indies in recognition of the late prime minister Owen Arthur. To honour convention of parliament parliamentarians in the Lower House set aside yesterday to pay tributes to the late prime minister. The blogmaster has no problem with recognizing Owen Arthur to recognize his contribution to Barbados and the region. The Vice Chancellor and her management team will decide if to accept the recommendation from the government of Barbados, who by the way is its biggest…

WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?

I have a reasonable supply of first aid on hand in case of emergency. If a couple kids fall out of tree and scratch their knees, no problem. If twenty kids fall out at the same time, I'm probably going to need to send for extra ASAP. With that in mind I am considering politics. President Trump has received a lot of criticism for not having masks, gloves, ventilators, etc, available for this covid crises. Who used them up and left the shelves bare? Why didn't Obama leave enough for an emergency? Shouldn't President Trump keep enough available for the…

3 things you should never talk about

When I was growing up I was told over and over that there were three things you should never talk about. 1 - Politics 2 - Religion 3 - Money I don't know that I think this is really the case anymore. What do you think? Were you told the same? Are they rules we should still live by? 3 things you should never talk about

331: The View From St. Paul

I was there when it started. On the morning of July 7th, 2016, I stepped out onto the street below my apartment in St. Paul Minnesota and saw blue lights flashing a couple of blocks away. I briefly wondered if there had been a traffic accident. I soon found out that it was much worse. Philando Castille was my neighbor. He worked across the street from where I lived. He had been shot to death the night before during a routine traffic stop. For the rest of the summer protestors camped out on the street in front of the governors…

One story

by Andrada Costoiu American Progress, painting by John Gast, 2017. In reaction of judge Ruth Ginsburg death, I wrote a poem, which I am sharing with you below. I am worried for what happens in our politics. I want peace, progress and a better future. This is what we are known for, we are a country of open minded, kind people that care about each other. People that came here to escape religious persecution (that doesn't mean that you cannot be any religion you choose!), founders of this land who came here with their dreams, California's gold diggers who came…

NO! - a poem.

NO! As the end wept upon the land, we could hear the approaching fall. Justice answered the trumpet’s call, trusting the fight to her troop’s hand. Fate trembles with haste to expand, through misdeeds by her shameless foe. Past foolish decisions now crow, “Wait—no—this was not meant to be.” They beg the nation, “Hear our plea. Heal honor, shout, no…no… NO!” My entry for this week's Décima Poetry Challenge No. 23 FALL. (A New Challenge here on ronovanwrites.com) © 2020- Ronovan Hester Copyright reserved.

Day 2853: Other people's stories

As a psychotherapist, I love listening to other people's stories. What I DON'T love is other people who act like only their story is: real,legitimate, andworth listening to. These days, more than ever, it's important to make room for the stories that are not being heard. Why aren't they being heard? Because people with power/the spotlight are loud,disrespectful of others,disinterested in the facts,obsessed with their own grievances,trying to hold on to power, andapparently not interested in other people's stories. If you do not leave room for other people's stories, the dominant story becomes strident, repressive, demoralizing, inaccurate, and eventually obsolete.…

Self‑Imposed Crippling Frustration Under a Wave of Social Justice Advocacy

It was Saturday night when I knew I'd smudge myself and my house with sage the next day. There had been a build up. With the media exposure of police shootings and the new energy for social justice as a response, I was caught up in the energy. But not without personal justification. Under Trump's toxic atmosphere, my beloved Cherokee community quickly became as divisive as the rest of America. I started to hear comments that I hadn't heard before, and this time from the mouths of racially white Cherokees. What happened? Why were dark skinned and full blood Cherokees…

काठमाडौं । मन्त्रिपरिषदको सिफारिसमा राष्ट्रपति विद्यादेवी भण्डारीद्वारा मनेनित हुनुभएको वामदेव गौतमलाई राष्ट्रियसभाको सदस्यका हैसियतले प्राप्त गर्ने कुनैपनि जिम्मेबारी नदिनु भन्दै सर्वोच्च अदालतले आदेश जारी गरेको छ । रिट निवेदक अधिवक्ता दिनेश त्रिपाठीले सांसदका रुपमा काम गर्न नदिन र मन्त्री नबनाउन मागदाबी गर्नुभएको थियो । तर, न्यायाधीश डा आनन्दमोहन भट्टराईको इजलासले संवैधानिक जिम्मेवारी पनि नदिनु भन्ने आदेश दिएको छ । सर्वोच्च अदालतले भने रिट निवेदकद्वारा माग नै नभएका विषयमा आदेश दिएको छ । संविधानले प्रत्याभूत गरेको व्यक्तिको मौलिक हक कसैले हनन् गरेमा त्यसको सुनिश्चितता गर्ने दायित्व सर्वोच्च अदालतको हुन्छ । तर, सर्वोच्च अदालतले नै नेकपा नेता वामदेव गौतमको मौलिक हकमाथि हमला…

Woman deposits K1.6 million into Attorney General’s account

The Malawi Police have launched investigations to establish the identity of a woman who deposited K1.6 million into the account of Attorney General Chikosa Silungwe.

The number belongs to Faizal Aboo who has since denied depositing the money and has reported the issue to Limbe Police Station.

2 vehicles drive into crowd protesting Breonna Taylor’s killing; at least 1 hit

LOS ANGELES (NewsNation Now) — At least one person was injured after two vehicles drove through a crowd of demonstrators in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, where an estimated 300 people were protesting after this week's grand jury decision in the Breonna Taylor case. KTLA-TV's helicopter was overhead as a Ford pickup truck drove by a large group of people walking down Sunset Boulevard shortly before 9 p.m. (PT). The driver can then be seen hitting at least one person, then crowds start hitting the vehicle and running after it. “Shortly after 9:00 pm a blue pickup truck traveling…

Biden's low‑key campaign style worries some Democrats | AP

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The final stretch of a presidential campaign is typically a nonstop mix of travel, caffeine and adrenaline. But as the worst pandemic in a century bears down on the United States, Joe Biden is taking a lower key approach. Since his Aug. 11 selection of California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, Biden has had 22 days where he either didn’t make public appearances, held only virtual fundraisers or ventured from his Delaware home solely for church, according to an Associated Press analysis of his schedules. He made 12 visits outside of Delaware during that…

Q&A: What exactly were the results of Breonna Taylor investigation?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Six months after Breonna Taylor was fatally shot by police in her Kentucky apartment, a grand jury delivered a long-awaited answer about whether the officers would be punished. The jury on Wednesday did charge one of the officers, Brett Hankison, with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing shots that went into another home with people inside. But jurors didn't indict any of the officers on charges directly related to Taylor's death. The jury relied on evidence presented to it by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. Cameron said the other two officers were justified in firing their weapons because…

New Poll Finds Public Support For ‘Racial Justice Protests’ Is Dropping Significantly

Support for left wing social justice protests has dropped by a full fifteen percent, a recent poll has found. The American people were supportive at first, because Americans are good people who believe in justice, but the constant protests, many of which have devolved into destructive riots, have exhausted the public’s patience. This isn’t really a mystery. The Associated Press reports: TRENDING: This Is America?
