The financial squeeze from Social Security cuts (or even just the looming threat of them) puts a lot of folks in a tough spot. Given our skills and network, there’s definitely room to maneuver.

We all realize that it’s our money that we paid in every year of our working lives, but that won’t stop the creeps from raiding our retirement fund and our Social Security checks.

I’m also expecting that the government will, at some time to their convenience, declare all “old money” as worthless, can’t even be traded for Trump dollars. If you haven’t converted at least some of your cash over into tangible collectibles, you may still have just enough time to get it done, and get it done right.

I’m trying to construct here in this blog a clear model of how we can handle the situation that’s developing. Let’s break it all down into realistically individual action steps: Continue reading →

Of course the “Elon” to which I am referring is, as any graduate of Elon University will tell you, is the Hebrew word for “oak”, which was the giant ancient oak on campus, that the college ha blown into smithereens when they needed more parking near the admin building. Today, there is no oak. Same with Thousand Oaks in L.A. — not an oak standing.

So without further ado: Continue reading →

Staying Sane in a World Gone Mad: How Songwriting Can Keep You Grounded

You’re here because the world doesn’t make sense anymore — if it ever did.
Too much noise. Too much stress. Too much chaos. Maybe you feel frustrated. Maybe you feel numb. Maybe you don’t know what you feel. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to just sit there and take it.

You can turn all of that into something good, something useful, something productive and something fun.

You don’t need to be a musician. You don’t need to have written a poem in your life. You just need a way to take what’s in your head and get it out there — and that’s where therapeutic songwriting comes in. Continue reading →

It’s understandable to feel compelled to take action during these challenging times. Here are some ways you can support the resistance and uphold the rule of law and the Constitution today:

Engage in Peaceful Protests and Rallies: Participate in local demonstrations to voice your opposition to policies that undermine democratic values. For instance, hundreds recently marched in Boston to support democracy and protest against the current administration’s policies.

Support Legal Challenges: Many organizations are actively challenging unconstitutional actions through the courts. Consider supporting groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has a battle-tested playbook to defend civil rights and liberties.

Contact Your Elected Representatives: Reach out to your local, state, and federal officials to express your concerns. Tools like Resistbot can help you easily send messages to your representatives, urging them to uphold democratic principles.

Join Grassroots Organizations: Connect with groups such as Indivisible, which offers practical guides for resisting harmful agendas and promoting progressive values.

Stay Informed and Educate Others: Keep abreast of current events and share reliable information within your community. Engaging in discussions and writing for local publications about the importance of the rule of law can amplify awareness.

Support Workers’ Rights and Unions: Unions have historically been powerful in challenging unjust policies. Supporting labor movements can be an effective way to resist authoritarian actions.

Remember, every action, no matter how small, contributes to the larger effort of preserving our democratic institutions. Stay resilient and connected with like-minded individuals to make a meaningful impact. Continue reading →

Who is Danielle Sassoon?

Danielle Sassoon was the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). She stepped into the role in January 2025, appointed by President Trump, and had a solid background, including clerking for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and leading prosecutions like the one against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Continue reading →

So what if all Trump’s wishes came true? What if he got everything he wanted? What would the world look like after that? It might be called “Trumpistan” — “stan” translates to “country” or “state”. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Luristan, Uzbekistan, und so weiter. Continue reading →

Well, there’s an awful lot of talk on the news channels about what musk is doing, usurping the throne, as it were, overshadowing trump and basically running the show while trump sits slumped in his chair behind resolute desk. Trump & Company have been having a lot of reversals.

I wonder, is there any way we can cheer on the resistance, and get people to join it and march for freedom, demonstrate and call congresspeople, write the newspapers, all that sort of stuff? Continue reading →

Song — The Law Don’t Hold

[Verse 1]
The judge spoke clear, the gavel fell,
But the man just laughed and wished ‘em well.
Said, “Laws ain’t chains, they’re made to bend,”
And the fight goes on again, my friend.

[Chorus]
Oh, the law don’t hold, the law don’t bind,
When the king walks free and justice is blind.
They steal by day, they lie by night,
But the truth still flickers in the dying light.

[Verse 2]
They froze the funds, they took the land,
They wrote new rules with a shaking hand.
The courts said, “No,” but the doors stayed shut,
And the watchdogs howled, but they wouldn’t cut.

[Chorus]
Oh, the law don’t hold, the law don’t bind,
When the king walks free and justice is blind.
They steal by day, they lie by night,
But the truth still flickers in the dying light.

[Bridge]
Some men get prison, some men get gold,
Some men get power that never grows old.
And when the balance starts to sway,
Will the people rise or look away?

[Verse 3]
They talk of courts, they talk of right,
But rules don’t stand in the firelight.
If a king can break what a people made,
Then a people rise to take it away.

[Final Chorus]
Oh, the law don’t hold, the law don’t bind,
When the king walks free and justice is blind.
They steal by day, they lie by night,
But the truth still flickers in the dying light. Continue reading →

The Nobody Project: Voices Without Faces

Nobody knows where The Nobody Project started. The first track just appeared—an MP3 circulating in activist forums, passed from phone to phone, inbox to inbox.

The sound was raw, urgent, like something recorded in a basement studio with the walls closing in. The lyrics weren’t just songs—they were messages, scrawled across city walls, whispered at protests, embedded in coded leaks. Then came another song. And another. Continue reading →
