democracy matters

We are waving our banner with pride - as we step up to protect our country, its principles, and its people against a Trumpian dystopia. 

Due to an increased demand and ever growing need Heather Cox Richardson has expanded her Letters from an American posts to American Conversations - informative videos all packed with sound advice. 

In her latest interview with technology reporter Gil Duran - they discuss recognizing the dystopian vision for human society from a select technology elite - and what we the people can do to disrupt this. 

The first thing people can do is recognize the pattern and expose it. This isn't chaos or random techno antics - this is an organized ideological project. 

loud & proud

Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American are the daily dose that keeps my hope afloat. 

Reading her thoroughly researched historical perspective on our current events anchors me to reality. 

Listening to her steely determination is my constant battle hymn in our Trumpian flailing republic. 

January 6, 2021 US Capitol attack by Trump followers

These are definitely transformative times we are all hoping we can transition and navigate through. 

Never has it ever been more important to circle together to build better stability for the vast majority.  

Call on and demand our institutions to step up and protect our country, its principles, and its people. 

To uphold a government that works for everybody - of the people, by the people, for the people. 

#resist #insist #persist

Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. 

With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness - and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we're being brainwashed to believe. 

The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. ~ Arundhati Roy 

addressing the colonized mindset - then & now

We must understand what we could lose if the actions of this Trump administration go unchecked. It's on all of us to save our country and world from the rampaging destruction of these nihilistic authoritarians and greedy kleptocrats. 

possibilities & probabilities - perseverance & persistence

Potential does not come to fruition in barren territory - even at the price of blood, sweat and tears. It is what differentiates the quitters from those who eventually succeed.
Every fellow Filipino and freedom fighter accepts this in their core being. All throughout recorded history it has been the rough road our countrymen are tested with every day.
Even the best among us have to cushion ourselves and take succor from the horror and beating meted year in and year out.

multi-generational trauma of the Philippines

A people known for their spirit of warmth and hospitality whose life force slowly leaks away in a country of parasitic politicians of few exceptions.
Much is wasted to expend scarce resources and ill-gotten wealth on keeping the masses fat dumb and happy on short term extravaganzas and fiestas.

UNfuckingBELIEVABLE!

Impeach Trump already!

It's true that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It was so with Hitler. It was so with Idi Amin.

It was so with Marcos. It is so with Duterte.

So it is with Trump.
