Well I guess this will just be my running journal of the slow(?) crumbling of American democracy and society at large.

January 5, 2021: two special runoff elections in GA tilt the Senate into Democratic control. Dems now control the Presidency and both chambers of Congress.

January 6, 2021: after days of 45 inciting protests against election results, white nationalists interrupt the vote on 2020 election results and storm the US Capitol, taking pictures on the chamber floor and planting three bombs inside the building.

Four protesters die and it takes hours for the building to be cleared before congress reconvenes overnight to verify the vote. Seven Republicans still vote to contest the results. 45 sends video message to the white nationalists saying "go home, we love you". Rep. Ilhan Omar starts drafting impeachment articles.

January 8, 2021: Twitter finally suspends 45's account for inciting violence

January 9, 2021: newly elected WV GOP Rep. Derrick Evans is charged with entering a restricted area for the attempted coup on Capitol Hill. The FBI is actively looking for all other participants, which includes at least one other GOP lawmaker.

January 11, 2021: impeachment article has been introduced. Congress is looking into 14th Amendment to expel members who supported insurrection. Several Congress members begin testing positive for COVID after sheltering together with maskless Republicans during the insurrection.

February 13, 2021: Senate fails to reach 67 votes required to successfully convict 45, with a 57-43 final vote. Some Republicans were seen doodling or turning their chairs away from the footage played for the trial.

February 2021: winter storm on a scale only seen every 30 years covers the middle states from Texas to Maine. Power is out in homes, hospitals, clinics across the country. Senator Ted Cruz was spotted taking a flight to Cancun.

February 2021: Congress is squabbling over whether the $2000 relief check promise in the election meant new $2k checks or $1.4k in addition to the last $600 check.

February 17, 2021: police and employees from a Portland Fred Meyer grocery store are recorded guarding a dumpster and destroying food to prevent the freezing homeless population from retrieving food

February 22, 2021: I'm fully vaccinated! Pfizer for life

March 16, 2021: white man murders six Asian women at three different Atlanta massage parlors, aligning with an increase in violence against Asian women and elderly in the last month

March 26, 2021: in response to losing the Senate runoff elections in January, the Georgia GOP passes a 100-page voting restriction bill that reduces early voting, introduces voter ID, and prohibits distribution of food and water to voters standing in line.

June 1, 2021: on day one of Pride Month, FL Gov Ron Desantis signs a bill banning trans youth athletes from competing in their preferred gender group

June 2021: a variety of bills around the US are signed banning the teaching of critical race theory in public schools. CRT is a college and graduate level concept.

August 2021: after 20 years of US occupation, Afghanistan is taken back by the Taliban. The US is evacuating troops and Afghan citizens are desperately trying to leave.

August 2021: amidst back to school season, republican governors ban mask mandates, block public funding for school-distributed masks, and forbid distance learning in the case of outbreaks.

August 17, 2021: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tests positive and is asymptomatic (largely due to the vaccine which he hasn't endorsed). He is receiving Regeneron mAb treatment in spite of being asymptomatic. He owns Regeneron stock.

August 23, 2021: I tested positive for COVID-19.

August 24, 2021: AR doctor is found to have treated Covid positive prisoners with ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug used for horses and cows and not approved by the FDA for human antiviral use.

2022!! Well shit. I got lazy, but shit hit the fan so hard I gotta come back.

February 23, 2022: Russia invades eastern Ukraine. Several explosions heard in different cities. Joe Biden denounces the attack.

Earlier today, Greg Abbott introduces legislature criminalizing parents of trans children as child abusers and directs doctors and teachers to report any trans students.

May 3, 2022: Politico leaks an upcoming Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade. Barrier fences are going up around the court building.

May 5, 2022: Republican Madison Cawthorn has video leaked of him forcing oral sex on a male cousin. This is presumably in retaliation to his claims about GOP cocaine orgies. I wish I was making this the fuck up!

February 2023: Ron DeSantis signs legislation banning unapproved books from school libraries. School shelves are closed up or empty.

March 2023: AR governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signs legislation removing age checks for work, allowing children under 14 to be exploited for labor. Investigations in February exposed children working overnight shifts at a meat packing plant.

July to December 2020:

July: in the wake of $600 weekly unemployment benefits expiring, GOP lawmakers decide it's a disincentive to return to work and are working to eliminate it

2020

maybe I’m swept up in the sensationalism of everyone declaring 2020 to be the worst year ever... but just in case it actually does end up being the most impactful year of the century and my kids ask me about it, here goes...

-1 billion animals in Australia died in massive wildfires

-45 drone struck an Iranian general and stoked fears about WWIII

-Kobe Bryant, top 10 NBA player of all time, dies with his daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash. Most impactful celebrity death since Michael Jackson

-March 9, Monday: no traffic on the road. Fears about a few COVID cases in Santa Clara county cause masses of people to WFH

-March 11: 2 days after mocking virus by touching all the mics at a press conference, Rudy Gobert tests positive. NBA suspends season before Jazz-Thunder tipoff. I was returning from a run to the Stanford dish when I read the news

-March 12: Bay Area counties jointly announce shelter in place. I pick up groceries on the way home and someone is panic buying boba ice cream bars

-March 13: Breonna Taylor is shot to death in her sleep by cops performing a no-knock warrant. They had the wrong house. Of time of writing, all officers involved in her murder walk free.

-April 24: 45 suggests in a press conference that bleach has potential for treating COVID internally. He doesn’t directly say injecting bleach would kill the virus... but this is obviously irresponsible and plain stupid to say aloud.

-Japanese murder hornets have been found in the PNW. Entomologists say there is only a few years’ window to stop their spread throughout the US.

-Hong Kong protests continue throughout the year. Dissidents are being tracked through facial recognition and millions of people are flooding the streets

-Memorial Day: Americans are sick of lockdown and are beginning to create narratives that the virus isn’t real or is a conspiracy or won’t affect them if they catch it. Masses on masses of people go out to beaches.

-May 25: George Floyd is murdered by Minneapolis police officer after store clerk alerts cops on suspicion that Floyd paid with a fake $20 bill. Massive protests on a scale larger than Ferguson, bigger than I’ve seen in my life, break out in the streets and continue to the date of writing (7/1/20). 

-June: Protesters are met with violence at the hands of police. Rubber bullets to the face, tear gas (war crime internationally yet legal here). A cop shoves a 70-year old protester to the ground and he passes out and bleeds from the ear. Cops continue to march on. About 20 die in June alone.

-News comes out about Elijiah McClain. A harmless young man who played violin for shelter cats. Cops called because he was wearing a ski mask walking down the street. In Colorado. Protesters playing violin are tear gassed by police.

-June: Americans are entirely belligerent about mask wearing and disease containment. White people are refusing to wear masks and are arguing, fighting, coughing on people. Disgusting. America has roughly 1/4 of global COVID cases.

-MULTIPLE Black men (i.e. Robert Fuller in Palmdale) were found lynched in public places. Officials have deemed each case suicide on minimal evidence.

-45 retweeted a video of supporters yelling “white power” at protesters

-Russia was found to be offering bounties for killed Americans on duty, 45 did nothing about intelligence reports

-July 2, reports surface of COVID parties where young people put money in a pot and whoever gets the virus first wins the pot

-July 3rd, Duterte passes the terror bill allowing Philippine government to jail anyone without a warrant on the pretense of counter terrorism

-July 14, Orange County school board decides to allow districts to proceed with in person, non distanced, full capacity, maskless class next month

On the bright side, my one year anniversary with Jasmine is coming up....

-July 15, 45 and his daughter endorse Goya brand canned food on their social media. Goya CEO had previously spoken well of 45 in a press conference

-July 15, California shatters previous record of new COVID cases with over 11,000 in one day. Newsom has closed restaurants and gyms across the bay area again.

-July: 45 and staffers begin to discredit top US epidemiologist Anthony Fauci. He has previously retweeted the #firefauci tag in April but seems to be ramping up his attacks as cases rise
