Trump’s WhiteHouse.Gov Disappears Civil Rights, Climate Change, LGBT Rights

WhiteHouse.gov immediately wiped pages on LGBT rights, civil rights, climate change, and health care from its “issues” section after Donald Trump took the oath of office.

Below are my favorites from the article:

The page on climate change was replaced with a page entitled “An America First Energy Plan” that ignores climate change entirely and says, “President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule.”

The page on civil rights was replaced with a page entitled “Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community” that replaces concerns with how police act with a demand for more cops. It also paints predominantly black inner cities as shooting galleries.

“In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent,” the page claims, which is false: homicides in Washington, D.C. were down in 2016 over 2015.

I don’t know if one could actually say the pages were “replaced.” The old were taken down and the new were added…but it does show that Trump is wasting little time in his quest to blow up America.

Anybody that doesn’t believe in global warming in denial of scientific fact. In the suburbs outside of Chicago right now it’s 47°F and rising, 54°F expected high. In the middle of January.

Dark days are here again as the winter evenings grow.

If people just admitted when they were wrong or when they didn’t know what the hell they were doing, the world would be a much better place. Bunch of morons running around.

Simple life metaphor here.

I’m not a pianist. Or a violinist. But in 1995 under the alias grahm sexton I pretended to be.

I wrote and recorded this musical piece on a 4-track tape recorder in Des Moines, Iowa in a walk-in closet.

The vocals are mixed way down because I’ve always hated the sound of my voice.

Are there any parts of me
that you would care to see?
Unravel blueprints for my surgery,
reconstruct my fucking personality.

Shove aside my point of view,
disregard who I have to be.
Sorry I cannot live to
your expectations of me.

There is no chances in our hell
that you will control my body.
I can’t stand my hesitant apologies.
I never ever hear that you’re sorry.

My mind is not up for
a battle of custody.
Your ideals are my calamity.
I cannot pull apart the insanity.

My body is not up for
a round of your shooting gallery.

…

The clock hanging on my wall
is ticking away my life again.

Got half a pack of cigarettes
to last the rest of my life again.

Another dysfunctional relationship
to take away my life again.

There’s a gaping hole in daddy’s arm
to swallow up my life again.

The next flight leaving out of town
will hide the rest of my life again.

Memories of a careless past
will haunt the rest of my life again.

Again. Again.

That clock again.
That goddamn clock again.

That clock again.
That goddamn ticking again.

Peeps, here’s your thin-ice-of-modern-life jam for today.

I’m generally not terminal in the here and now but also…I’m not surprised when a crack in the ice.
