I stand in solidarity with this brave woman

 

 


  On October 12 a woman showed up at a trump rally in Youngstown, Ohio, wearing a t-shirt that said “Release the Epstein Files”. She voiced her concerns at the so-called rally. She simply used her First Amendment to stand up for the survivors of sex trafficking, assault and violence. I do not know her name, but she deserves credit for her courage. 

  Instead of responding to her concerns, Donald Trump mocked her weight, accused her of being a paid “leftist” and did nothing to protect her from being punched and beaten by his own “supporters”. This is the "man" who said he would “protect women.” Trump celebrated how these thugs attacked this courageous woman.

     This woman who asked for the release of the Epstein files was beaten and her hair was pulled out simply for standing up for justice.

      The thugs who did this are trump supporters.  Are we expected to normalize violence against women because seventy-seven million people voted for this misogyny in America in November 2024? Ninety million people enabled this by not voting altogether. Needless to say, they all have blood in their hands.

     If trump celebrates and excuses the beating of a woman in public, can you imagine what he does behind closed doors?

     Why do you think a fat ugly man fat mocks a woman about her weight? Surprise, surprise, I will reserve the answer for the end of this post…

     If Obama or Biden had done what trump did at this rally, the mainstream media would have been talking about it 24/7, but Obama and Biden would never do that, whereas convicted felon Donald Trump does it, and it is considered normal and acceptable by the American mainstream media. There is no outrage, no commentary, no analysis to expose the brutality and cruelty of this so-called “administration.” Every day offers a new low in this despicable regime under Republican control. There is no bottom. If this is not enough to get people off their asses and vote out this regime, I do not know what will do it.


   The thugs who punched this woman were not arrested. They were not even detained…Trump would probably pardon these cowards, because he showed that he was perfectly okay with these thugs’ actions. Republicans talk about holding criminals accountable but they do just the opposite. They protect their thugs.


    Let’s make this clear: asking for the release of the Epstein files has nothing to do with being a “leftist”. It has to do with demanding justice for survivors of trafficking and sexual violence, but in trump’s America, it is another day of violence against women. This is what the mainstream media should be highlighting, but they do nothing about it. Hence, I have to do the work myself.

   My Writing Life stands in solidarity with this courageous woman. If you have a blog or any other form of social media, you can also say something. Silence is complicity.

   Trump told Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene that he did not want to release the files because he “does not want to hurt his friends.”  Vote these protectors of pedophiles out. If beating a woman who demands justice is normal to you, then vote for this depraved regime, but if you stand for human dignity, Republicans need to be voted out in November. Remember that there are three million files that they refuse to release.

  Last but not least, Seth Meyers reviews the lies and falsehoods spewed by convicted felon Donald Trump. Watch this one and have a good laugh before the dictator censors him. Dictators are weak, insecure men; they do not appreciate intelligent comedians. Dictators also hate women who demand justice.

Addendum: I am dismayed at the news that convicted felon Donald Trump felled at least 430 trees this past weekend and he wants to continue this destruction.


I wrote a poem entitled “grief” in response to the news.

 

Grief

 

The felon felled over four-hundred trees,

no oxygen to breathe,

no coolness or relief

from the destruction he causes

behaving like a capricious king,

an insecure being

without a moral compass

targeting those who disagree.

 

Trees do disagree.

 

They embrace the richness of their branches,

attuned to the change of seasons,

the opposite of him.

The trees are forever free,

until the tyrant cuts them off

with senseless glee.

 

His voters clap and chant “USA”,

raping the Earth that sustains us

is okay to them

for they create their own hell.

 

Blaming others for their blunders

will always be their way

unless they choose to learn,

their life would flourish then,

a window to the past may wipe out their delusions,

If only they could learn that they create their hell.

A tree can be a teacher

if only they could learn…

 

 

 

With the support of his mob,

billionaires, dictators, kings

the insecure tyrant can go as far as a Halloween terror scene.

 

Not even the trees can protect themselves

from his odious disdain,

 monster-like actions

cheered by his sycophants

babbling and wobbling with rage

inside the pockets of Putin, 

in their misery and stench.

They will never be free

from tyranny and hell.

 

 The felon felled over four-hundred trees,

an insecure being who believes he is a king,

desperate to stay out of jail

along with his wealthy friends:

rapists, pedophiles,

cowards, abusers and who knows what else…

 

 

Four hundred trees lost

under the orders of a deranged tyrant

 staying out of jail.

No oxygen,

no coolness or relief from the destruction he causes,

an insecure being without a moral compass

with only his wealth to protect.
