Notes About The Poem

DHS officials state ICE..."only recruits patriotic professionals who have the integrity and moral compass to perform such critical roles." However, former ICE employees and journalists note recent recruitment efforts by ICE appeal to far-right white nationalists. Is this the formation of a Gestapo-like force that acts on D.T.'s behalf?

There's hope in that ordinary people protest injustice as here on 01/17/26. Good people will not stay silent.

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers will splice
Together a killer device
Now pardoned they work
With sign-on cash perk
For Trump’s white supremacist ICE

I see the newest post of protesters. I too attended a protest, took many photos. Kaiser Permanente, they are fighting for safe staffing levels & fair wages and compensation. Thank you for your ineffable support!

Anaya, we who have empathy for our fellow earth denizens are definitely trying to make a difference. We'll see where this all goes as time goes on and do the best we can while trying to survive and prosper. Smiles!!

I respect you for the courage, and for the right reasons that you participate in protests (I read below) concerning Americans fight for justice. This is real life, very serious, most talk, yet not the walk. That's a fantastic image of the ICE machine, AI is amazing at times like these. Gotta fav this one! Stay safe~

Anaya, I am trying. I often carry a protest poster with me when I go out....I wish more people would do that. It's a 24/7 thing. AI drawings are amazing indeed. It's not a good thing if you are a typical graphic artist. In any case, I'll take some pictures of the protest tomorrow and post them. Hope you're well and know I appreciate your unique take on art!! Smiles.

Extremely well taken. Thank God for our diversity as Trump has a hard time appealing to a master race. BTW, Stephen Miller would be an excellent minister of propaganda

Thanks Robert. I am going to an event tomorrow, three on Saturday, one on Sunday, and one on Monday to protest against the current administration. Seems like it's my new full-time job since I retired from payed work. Those thinking what happened historically can't repeat here should re-evaluate their thinking sooner rather than before it's too late. Hope you are well!!!

Those who prove to do Trump’s bidding have no fear of being sent to jail. Their illegal acts will prevail. Seriously and unfortunately, I’m not kidding

Lin, an astute observation on your part. D.T. is using his power in ways that were not imagined by the framers of our Constitution. We (the taxpayers) are paying a 50K hiring bonus if I'm not mistaken. We should all be taking this seriously, but never let it discourage us from doing the right thing! Smiles!!
