A Surviving Facts blog Last March, I wrote a blog about Project 2025 being the far right’s new Nuremberg Laws. Forgive another “told you so”— last week I re-published with commentary a blog on the billionaire bros and other Top 1%ers not being nice people— but I predicted this development as well. Now, the remainingContinueContinue reading “Is Project 2025 the far right’s Nuremberg Laws? Part 2 of original blog published March 2025”

Yep, They’re Still Assholes- Part 2 of original blog
A Surviving Facts Blog Forgive typos— I’m having a moment. I wrote this original blog a few months ago before billionaire greed moved more into the spotlight. Recently, Billie Eilish, Rachel Maddow and Steve Colbert have all chastised the billionaire bros— Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk— for their greed. Billie and Rachel, both accepting awards for theirContinueContinue reading “Yep, They’re Still Assholes- Part 2 of original blog”
Health care crisis
A Surviving Facts Blog We are in the sixth week of the government shutdown. With both parties refusing to budge— and a lot of false rhetoric about who’s doing what— it’s likely that the shutdown could become the longest in history. This shutdown hits me personally. I get my and my daughters’ health care “onContinueContinue reading “Health care crisis”
Hegseth’s speech may be exactly what we needed
A Surviving Facts blog Did you watch this week’s military display? If you did, then whether you’re wearing red-colored or blue-tinted glasses, you heard what I heard: No fat people in the military. Hegseth’s Patton-flag-modeled Ted Talk was clear: fat people are disgusting, men need to be warriors again (is he referring to Vikings, whichContinueContinue reading “Hegseth’s speech may be exactly what we needed”
Etherized upon a table
A Surviving Facts Blog This past week, with Kirk’s tragic murder and its sad, complex aftermath, has worn me out. Kirk is a victim. And so are all the transgender people who have been harmed by his defamatory, and false, rhetoric. Is being tired a medical condition? I am tired. I’m tired of conflict, divide,ContinueContinue reading “Etherized upon a table”
Does the US Now Have State-controlled Media?
A Surviving Facts blog If you listen to mainstream news, you should have noticed by now its watered-down approach to Trump and his fascist policies. There’s a simple reason for this: we are moving toward state-controlled media. Trump has bought them by suing for defamation, fraud and other claims. This has resulted in settlements inContinueContinue reading “Does the US Now Have State-controlled Media?”
Who will lead us out of darkness?
A Surviving Facts blog Each day brings new devastations. Our country deports American nationals without due process. Our country abducts American citizens off the streets threatening deportation simply for their using their right to freedom of speech. The Supreme Court permits such actions. RFK, Jr. and his incompetent appointees make every effort to ignore provenContinueContinue reading “Who will lead us out of darkness?”
We need neurodivergence
A Raising Autism blog Whenever I hear RFK Jr. speak about autism, fear builds inside me. He talks about ridding the world of children with ASD. He speaks about them as unproductive members of society, harming the general social good. He continues to blame vaccines when the ASD and vaccine connection has been long debunked-ContinueContinue reading “We need neurodivergence”
Heavy Memories
Into the Wilderness: Story 49 When you’re obese, you will always have a fat mind. Notice I said “mind.” Even if or after you lose weight, your mind cannot release the heavy tread of damage obesity causes. It’s two fold: society’s continual denigration of fat and one’s layers of fat shame deeply embedded in theContinueContinue reading “Heavy Memories”
The Divide
A Surviving Facts Blog We finally took a much overdue vacation. My husband and I joined dear friends, a couple, to tour the wineries of New York’s Finger Lakes region, about four hours northwest of New York City. The region bursts with fantastic wineries, innovative, excellent restaurants and arts and crafts. We love the coupleContinueContinue reading “The Divide”
