#treasonsummit. tweet it now.

trending BIG TIME on the twitter machine.
if you tweet, take a look.
i retweeted a bunch of people that i rt on a regular basis. i bet you will, too.


eta- the trolls are out. they are trying to dilute the hashtag.
when i started, i only had to type t to get the ht. now there are several other hashtags, including a misspelling of summit, sumnit, and a treasonsummit 2018 ht.

yes, social media can be stupid, but it can also influence the media.

BREAKING: Without uttering a single word, Queen Elizabeth professed her belief in social justice today when, during the American National Anthem, she gracefully took a knee. Trump later commented, "It made me angry, but it was ballsy and kind of sexy, too." #TakeAKnee #VoteBLUE

phew. update on my son.

well, life i weird is all i can say.
and families can most certainly rock.

so, last news was that the boy moved to va w his girlfriend to work on a horse farm. they broke up, and she moved back to chicago.
some folks there put him up for a while, and he was reportedly helpful. but they let him know he had to get a job. in rural va. umm.
his biggest worry was that he thought (so did i) that there was a warrant out for him in illinois. ex's new wife, a chicago cop, looked it up, and he had gotten time served in the county jail.

he reached out to a cousin, who lives in falls church, to help him find a lawyer. now, this cousin is much older than he is, and they hadnt had that much contact. he was career army, and didnt make it home to very many get-togethers. some day i will find out how he even found him, since he is notoriously private, but yeah.
he reached out at a time that the family was all pretty close together after a couple family funerals. so, much warm fuzzy.

he asked if he could stay w him for a while.
now, like i said, career army, now at the pentagon. ramrod straight.
he wanted to help him, but the army has some pretty strong experience in straightening out kids like him. he laid down a lot of rules, including getting help, getting a job, and no drugs.
since my nephew works crazy hours, much will fall on his wife. respecting her was also a biggie.
i cant tell you how important that no drugs one is. the kid was so lost in a fog of weed.

they drove him around getting applications, gave him 24 hours to fill them out, then took him around to hand them in. they told him that on the next monday he was to find a therapist and make an appointment.

so, the latest update-
he had his first visit w a therapist, and cant wait for the next one. he hopes to go weekly.
he got a job, tho he hasnt started yet. making pizza, which is actually something he can do well.

if anyone can straighten him out, it is his cousin.
tho there was some family friction around my nephew and his service, i have the deepest respect for him. he rose to the highest ranks in the special forces. he was up for a general's star. when he didnt get it, he announced his retirement. to get him to stick around for 1 more year, he was offered a job in the obama white house. tho he is quite a rw-inger, he was honored to serve, and came to respect obama. he was the liaison to the special forces. he negotiated bowe bergdahl's release.
he is one of the hero horse soldiers of the afghanistan war, tho they wrote him out of the movie "12 strong", prolly because he really doesnt like the spotlight. there was a fatwa out on his for his actions there, so that was part of it, but that is also just who he is.

to say i am over the moon at the moment would understate this by light years.

let's phrase it this way- there was no plan to reunite kids w parents,

so what was the plan?
stealing children and passing them out to their allies has been a factor of many a dictatorship.
stealing children and trafficking them is a factor in dictatorships, and a thing that happens in this country, and others, now.

was that the official plan? prolly not.
but i can promise you that not far down the line there are monsters licking their chops about getting their hands on these kids.

my sister is running. we need you du. now on actblue!!!

we need tshirts for parade season and walk pieces to reach the 30k dem voters in her district.
30,000. think about that. we will be knocking doors, and doing lit drops, and begging sean casten to carry our lit and we will carry his.
but just printing those pieces is huge expense for a shoestring operation.

please consider just $10. we will help flip the 6th, we will help send bruce rauner packing.

blue tsunamis are made up of raindrops at the bottom of the ticket.

please chip in. if you cant do $10, then give $5. but please give what you can afford.

call me crazy but mitt romney could get the mormon church to dna

these families for free.
either voluntarily, or to settle some dispute.

none of these parents should be deported w/o their kids. period.

give them an ankle bracelet, and let them find their kids.
at this point, it's gonna take dna to match them back up. (wonder who will make big bucks off this?)

for any of these kids to get left behind here is a GOD DAMNED CRIME. kidnapping. aggravated kidnapping.
