This is all due to tRump’s and Vances lies about FEMA and immigrants. They must stop this because far too many idiots believe them. Hugs
Some FEMA operations paused in North Carolina after reports National Guard troops saw ‘armed militia’ threatening them
Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders, amid a backdrop of misinformation about responses to recent storms.

Hi Suze. I agree. They believe in taking the law into their own hands including breaking the law to get what they want. For example stopping drag queen story hours by threats and violence, calling in bomb threats, and attacking parents with little kids. But what is even worse than the maga idiot gang thugs is the real gangs involved. I have a post up to post tomorrow if I get a chance about real Nazi groups pretending to be real aid groups going into areas to film propaganda. They then threaten real aid groups to drive them out.
The reason I have not been on much is I have been holding the hand virtually of a survivor in Ohio who is in the hospital for emergency abdominal surgery because infected pockets in his colon ruptured and caused a fistula in to his bladder. He is so inflamed they couldn’t even do a colonoscopy and have to do a dirty exploratory intestinal surgery to try to find and cut those sections out. He is without his normal coping methods. Like me his abuse was severe and his happened when he was kidnapped and trafficked at 7 yrs old and then sexually trafficked / abused / sold for sex at different times all his life until he was 40. He is without any of his coping methods and devices, stuck in a hospital room. I have been with him online almost every hour he is awake. He has credited me with saving his sanity and keeping him from totally melting down. I am sorry the blog is suffering and I have not answered comments. I have saved them to answer as soon as I can but every time I start he wakes up. Thankfully Ali and Randy are pulling up the slack I am leaving. Right now he has been in surgery and has not contacted me.
I just set a bunch of posts up to do in the morning if he is still sleeping or not able to communicate. I am thinking of doing a few comments and trying to go to bed while he is sleep or recovering so I can be there when he wakes up. Thanks for understanding. I need to write all this up for the blog but I keep forgetting. Randy knows but I don’t think Ali does. Hugs

Hi Suze. An update on my resting. Last night Ron hugged me in bed for nearly two hours to calm me and put me to sleep and we figure I got almost 5 hours of sleep. Butter than I have been doing. But you can see from the number of news story email posts that I did from my phone, I simply laid in bed reading news while he slept and my wanting so much to hold him. Just being next to him was calming for me. I think you won’t mind me telling you this, but if I have over step the bounds of our friendship please let me know. Last thing I need right now is to start offending good people. Hugs.

Hi Scottie. You know too that, just like with the “Hattians eating the pets” lies, they have no problem setting fires and acting all innocent when people get hurt. It’s like dealing with children, they have no idea of the harm they can do and are completely unwilling to take any responsibility.
Hugs

Hi Randy. Yes I agree. Plus the maga feel breaking laws to get their way is their right. Look at what they did to stop drag queen story hours. Bomb threats, in person threats of violence, armed men threatening parents with small kids trying to run away from them. Now I have a post for tomorrow I want to do if Kamyk stays sleeping from the surgery, about Nazis pretending to be real aid groups going into communities to do propaganda and then they drive real aid groups out to prove that Biden is with holding aid.
Kamyk (pronounced Kamic) when into surgery about 1 pm. He was talking to me almost until they came for him. He was taken to his new room for after surgery, he had his prep and was waiting. I stayed in contact with him in my own doctor’s visit today via phone text. I have not heard back but that is understandable. He would have had the surgery, gone to recovery, then to his room. He may still be highly drugged and sleeping. He may also be in an ICU and in greater trouble but that is my own internal worries as an ICU worker coming in. Ron has told me to relax and remember my training, that he is just out of surgery and will not be communicating yet. Hugs.

This is just awful. It’s really affecting me almost like the school shootings do: people pointing guns at people bringing food and water and other relief. They want to think they’re law and order, but they’re just being awful, and at their very own life and safety’s risk, even. This is not a civilization I wish to be part of-people pointing guns at other people to get our own way.

Hi Ali. Yes it is gang thugs thinking they are the law, they are in charge. It is poor war torn country shit, not a country like the US. But this is the work of maga and the cult of tRump who is now threatening to use the military on anyone who doesn’t support him once he is in power. That means using force to kill or imprison democrats who won’t bend to the maga will. They do not care about the law or others rights, just as they went after drag queen story hours attacking not just the performers but the parents with children along with the place that held them. Those events have almost entirely stopped at this point because the brownshirt maga gang thugs have so scared people. Hugs

Well, Scottie, I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s health trouble. It sounds complicated and miserable. I hope he recovers well, though. And that you’re able to keep caring for yourself, too. You’ve been doing great.

Hi Ali. Thank you. You are also a wonderful caring person I am so lucky to have met. One reason I love having my blogs over the years. I have met and talked to so many grand people that I never could have without them. He had the surgery. We have not talked much, he wakes up, sends me messages of pain, takes pain meds and goes to sleep. That is normal for PTs. Plus people not use to the drugs like I am they do put you to sleep. So I keep the channel open for him. I can only trust his nurses / doctors and hope they are as good as the ones I worked with. I know where he lives and it is a depressed poor area but still these are trained people. We can hope.
As I told Suze Ron and I went to bed together last night. He hugged me for nearly two hours to calm me and get me to sleep. We figure I got 5 hours before waking, checking on Kamyk, and going back to bed to read news while watching Ron sleep. He tells me this morning I should have woken him, but to me that sounds selfish and silly. Be well good friend. Hugs. Scottie

I have not heard from Kamyk since 6:42 this morning. This is getting me very worried that they had to take him back into surgery. I hope they just increased his medication and he is sleeping, but … worry is creeping in. Hugs.
