Trauma, Trump and the Future

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJ1SW9RK Start reading for FREE! "History does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do."                          –James Baldwin   Exploring Our Maps of Privilege and Trauma and Claiming Our Power As we live, we breathe the air of privilege and trauma. There are moments when I am conscious of breathing, but most of the time it happens automatically. (Please take a moment to be aware of your breath). So it is with “privilege” by which I mean our capacities and resources, be they physical, emotional, spiritual, personal or economic. We often take these as “givens” without even thinking.

History 101. Never Forget: Trump and Covid-19

Anybody thinking of enabling Trump to return must be stopped. Those in the Trump/Maga camp should consider this fact: despite having only 4% of the world's population, the United States consistently accounted for 20% of cases and deaths due to Covid-19.  The Trump administration's Covid-19 response needs the scrutinization of nothing less than The Hague, the permanent home of the United Nations' International Court of Justice. Trump’s remarks, from long before he was elected president and throughout his presidency, on a variety of topics including vaccines and autism, climate change, and wind farms, show he rejects scientific conclusions and methods.
