news late june 2018

It's been quite a busy end of week and month. The disturbances from all over include those along the borderlines of our seemingly fracturing society, newly highlighted by the worst possible approaches by the current Executring Administration in DC. But what is also out of the ordinary are the continuing protests and marches, with social media blitzes exploding out into the streets and then going on to dominate the headlines.

Two days ago 630 people were arrested in the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C.. They continue to want a change in the new Trump policy over the deportations of immigrants, and especially the separation of detainees from their children.

These protests and demonstrations have continuously spread since news of the change in policy was extracted from this weak and vacillating White House last month.

Another action that was much praised earlier this month was the "breakthrough" in US and North Korean talks at denuclearization. But that seems to be having serious problems.
The Donald seems blithely unaware how his actions effect anything else. I'm not even mentioing his trade wars. The stories write themselves...



But Saturday there were marches. Lots of them.




Trump has another bad habit as well.
And this seems so important.

Another mass shooting, this time at the Annapolis, MD Capitol-Gazette killed five.
It's a terrible time when journalists are being killed by sociopaths who feel underserved by the broader public.
Another post will have to mull over Supreme Court Decisions and the surprise retirement of Judge Anthony Kennedy.
