Such Coup. Many Unconstitutional. So Thwart.

Blogging during a coup, I feel a bit like Myanmar PE teacher Khing Hnin Wai, whose exercise video (originally posted to Facebook) appeared to have inadvertently captured the beginning of that country’s February 2020 military coup. I might smile and keep dancing, but my back is not turned. Like so many others in Washington, DC, my seat squarely in the splash zone.

I’ve used blogging and the research, writing, and looking it involves, as a respite, a counter to the new administration’s cloud of malevolent, unconstitutional chaos that has engulfed friends, family, and neighbors who work for the federal government.

I’ve been blogging when the stream of skeets tracing Elon Musk and his hacker minions’ illegal blitzkrieg attack on the data systems and physical facilities of the US Government have gotten repetitive or overwhelming.

So if I stare for a minute and fixate on the minutiae in the corner of an artist’s studio, that’s why.

But an unelected nazi billionaire is seizing control and destroying of key functions of government. And an elected felon is subverting the Constitution and consolidating power while looting the country and inflicting injustice and suffering on millions, including many, many people I know and love. And they really have to be slowed and stopped and held accountable.
