What a day. UK wins another close one, and I had to watch via my phone again. I suppose I would watch all of them on my phone if it means they win. The officiating was horrific – pretty sure there was some betting thing going on, because the calls against UK in our own house were inexplicable. But we won.

I also managed to get checked in to tomorrow’s SW flight using the ship’s shitty wifi, no small feat.

But the big news of the day is the second stone cold execution of a US citizen by ICE in Minneapolis. I’ve see the videos, including frame-by-frame, and it was simply an execution. We’re now in a full fledged civil war with MN as the front line.

I hope everyone now understands that no one is safe, your legal carry permit means nothing to the ICE goons, your 1st and 4th Amendment rights mean nothing to the Trump regime. Regular people are being labelled as terrorists and killed by the masked thugs called ICE.

The ONLY good that can come out of all this is that the rest of the US wakes up and does whatever it takes to right the ship. Vote. Publish. Protest. Speak out. Fight if you must, and we may be forced into that.

UPDATE

After watching more news about Minneapolis, I’m really upset. Nauseated. How can it have come to this? The rapid escalation of violence and lawlessness since Jan 1 is stunning. Watch the movies Civil War and Anniversary and you’ll see where this is heading. Life needs to stop imitating art. Sadly, it’s time to make sure you can defend your home, because they’re coming for us all before it’s over.

Here, on a ship in the Caribbean, there’s nothing I can do but stew and rant. But when I hit land, time to make some plans. Instead of spending time on corporate boards, I think it’s time to get all my like-minded friends, families and neighbors organized, informed and moving. Create an organization or join an organization, I’m not sure which is better. But I’m jumping in one way or the other.
