Tuesday Top of Mind 3/24/26- No Kings Protest March 28, 2026

We are still all in the same boat. I mean we as the working class. Working class as defined by anyone with less than 10 million dollars. Hell, less than 1 million dollars outside of the retirement account and house wealth that is.

I certainly belong in that class. I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and work. After all, I am a recovering workaholic.

Not only are we in the same boat the rivers of shit that this administration is pumping out at us daily/hourly is getting mighty high.

Flood the zone with shit indeed.

But what they want us to be is paralyzed. Paralyzed by the constant doom and gloom. Paralyzed by the constant death. Paralyzed by the constant rising prices. As an aside, I checked gas prices last Monday and on Tuesday when I bought gas it was 15 cents more per gallon. Right now On Tuesday the gas station at the end of my street is $3.89 and Costco is $3.64. Those numbers are for regular.

I call BS on being paralyzed just because they want us to be.

No thank you. I will keep watching the lawlessness and the hate crimes and the war crimes. And documenting when I can.

Historians are gonna have a field day with this moment in history.

It is okay that you are doom scrolling and gasping at each lawlessness and hate crime and war crime that occurs.

But I also want you to participate in the No Kings Protest on March 28, 2026.

I got this out earlier than last time.

You may have seen notice of the protests planned for this weekend.

Participate in any way you can.

March.

Make signs.

Bear witness.

Shine your light on their darkness.

I am going to writing and bearing witness and keeping my wallet shut.

Pocketbook protesting is a thing, you know.

However, if you must shop this weekend buy local. No big chain stores. No Walmart, no Target, no Amazon. None of it.

Buying local is a form of protestation.

As is joy.

Find your joy.

But participate this weekend.

Tuesday Top of Mind 10/21/25- No Kings is over, now what?

Yay, over 8 million people showed up to march. Well, 7-8 million, depending on who you believe.

Either way that is a LOT of people.

And there were even more who were unable to make it to an organized march.

It was a grand gesture.

Now what?

You may be feeling a bit down. From the adrenaline high, from the knowledge that the no kings protest was a show of no kings force but it was only that. A show.

The government is still shut down. Because the Democrats are holding firm on the ACA subsidy fight. So that everyday Americans, not illegals despite the lie they are trying to force down our throats, won’t see health care costs on the exchange skyrocket out of reach. I am proud of them.

The East Wing of the White House has been scarred. For one man’s ego and because no one ever told him no.

The House of Representatives is out for recess. Again. There have been 3 full weeks of work by them since July 1st. This is shameful and not what we voted for. Not only that, the deciding signature on the Resolution to release the Epstein files was elected in Arizona. Adelita Grijalva has yet to be sworn in by that coward, Mike Johnson. She was elected September 23 a full month ago. But Johnson would rather play ostrich with his head in the sand.

AI slop is being used for everything. I’ve seen many, many, many badly written headlines in the news with all sorts of errors- punctuation, spelling, word choice, and tense. I’ve seen badly shaped and colored memes that some people want use as a gotcha. Dream on.

It’s okay to feel a bit blue.

However, the pressure must be sustained. If there is anything I’ve learned as a nurse it is not to decrease pressure when the bleeding has slowed, that way leads to a hemorrhage.

Maintain that pressure.

Keep making the phone calls, even if you are talking to a machine.

Keep sending those emails.

Participate in Operation Mail Drop where scolding cards or postcards are sent to those in power. Yes, all of them. The object that you mail is up to you and your wallet. I’m not saying mail them something that might rot by the time it gets there, but I’m not not saying it either.

But, most importantly, VOTE.

There is a General Election this coming first Tuesday in November. Many states already have the early voting sites open.

It is your right to vote. Exercise it.

Send the next message to Washington that we see their depravity and their illegal acts.

And we won’t stand for it.

And we don’t care for it.

Keep the pressure on.

Keep the eyes on them.
