Tuesday - The weather is good here, but many people are finally fed up

What can I say? Trump demonstrated his usual insensitivity and bluster. Using tear gas to clear peaceful demonstrators from in front of the White House so he could take his fat belly to a church for a photo op waving a bible. Give me a break. Even the Roman Catholic Archbishop of DC reamed Doofus Donald for that move.

And now threatening to shut down free speech for those with whom he disagrees. And threatening to mobilize the army. This isn't a revolution, but damn, he might turn it into one if he isn't careful. Shooting US Citizens for exercising their rights, but in opposition to him, why it could turn out to be the Boston Massacre, Kent State, and so on.

Meanwhile, the Fascists don disguises and play games with social media. They act as agent provocateurs on one hand, and racist White supremacists on the other, hoping for a race war that they will win. It's quite scary.

We can't sit on our hands. That's all I will say.

And we need to unelect Trump in the fall, and hope we can turn out the corrupt, anti-democratic forces that control the Senate.

Freedom is too delicate to allow these assholes to trample it.

A few photos. The fruit stand is an important part of the Manhattan streetscape. Some people walk by without noticing, others stop to chat, and for tourists, it might even seem a bit exotic.
