A Walk Through the Mind

I saw a meme, or at least an artistic derivative, of a Richard Scary Cartoon, which cites everything that appears to be going on in "Trump's America." Would all of this be going on if Trump weren't president?  How much can things be over blown if they're excessively focused on? At what point do we need to focus on our immediate surroundings as opposed to the global outlook? How addicitve is social media?

I've just finished a book that tells the story of how the CIA helped influence the crack epidemic in the

USA, and started another book that mentions George W. Bush wanting to cover up his family's own history

from historians. These details about our government wanting to cover things up lead me down a FOIA

rabbit hole.

Last week, as I posted the show on Twitter, I got a message saying I was appropriating a hashtag of

someone else's fight against authoratirian facists, and they sent me a link talking about what the

authoratarians will do to control the narrative. I would like to go through this list and discuss what I

see when I read what has been stated to drive this activist movement.

We have had civil unrest in the USA for some time now, going on 3 months. With more bad decisions coming every day. Recently there was a shooting of some protesters that made national news from Wisconson. When police are hamstringed in their ability to do their job, it will be the citizens who step in. But at what cost? Do elected officals have a part to play in the protests? How does social media embolden people to protest? How does social media effect how people will defend themselves?
