At the hospital with my brother now, he's been in really good spirits. He fractured his pelvic bone, and his spine, but they expect those to heal fine on their own. He did break his wrist, which he had to have surgery on. If it doesn't set right, they may have to put in a metal rod. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. A lot of his co-workers have been in and out, and it's always weird to be surrounded by cops. He's going to be staying I. The hospital for a couple of days, which will be good for him. He needs to just rest and heal.
I so glad he's doing alright, and again, at least it wasn't worse. It is weird to see my brother laid up in a hospital bed, but at least he is laid up in the hospital bed and not on a slab in a refrigerator.
I've been rereading though the original Hunger Games books. And man, reading them now, in our current climate, that shit hits so different. I just started the third book today, and it's just... It's hitting a little too close to home. I haven't read the books in a number of years, and now that we're in the midst of a fascist regime, Americans being murderd on the streets of our cities just because they happen to be filming the American Guestapo... Yeah. It's a different read. Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Another person was murdered in broad daylight by Trump's Guestapo today in Minneapolis. At what point do we say enough is enough? At what point do we actually do something to remind this fascist regime that we, the people, have the power?
Every single day in America, we see a new, unjustifiable horror from this administration. Every. Fucking. Day.
2026... Well, here's to hoping things will be better this year. The move is imminent, for reasons beyond Logan's or my control. So, regardless of what happens, we will be out of California this year, most likely by June or July. We have an idea about the house, and while it's not one I would have picked had I the option, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. So, here's to another year. It can't be as bad as last year. Or, at least, I hope it won't be.

That's really frightening, I'm glad he's doing alright.
