I am CuTRis

I was at Aldi, returning my cart when a Somali guy was pulling on the carts. Of course, they wouldn't come loose--and I told him you need a quarter to get a cart. Then he walked away, like he wasn't sure what he should do. So I asked him if he needed a quarter and gave him mine. He smiled and thanked me. It was an easy choice to help, because it was the opposite of what Donald Trump would do, especially for an immigrant. If you don't like what our president stands for, do the opposite of what he does, and fill the world with acts of kindness. Feel free to talk about these acts of kindness, so that we can counteract the negativity that is currently staining our world.

Donald Trump Plans to Visit Hell UnAssociated Press May 27, 2025 President Trump is planning to fly his new (old) "Palace in the sky" down to hell for a visit with the dark lord himself. "I've known him for years," said Trump on so-so media, "we agree on most things and his home is a very warm place." Of course Trump had a lot more to say, and much of it was incoherent. But apparently, Mr. Trump would like to warehouse legal immigrants in hell, and also potentially U.S. citizens who disagree with him.

While the legality of the Department of Government Efficiency that Trump and Musk madeup is still in question, immigrant, Elon Musk, has been given access to the government payment system which includes Social Security. So much for keeping us safe from immigrants.

If you ever wondered how the likes of Hitler and other dictators could gain power, now I guess we know. First they vilify a group of people. Then they inflame the prejudice and hatred of the paranoid. Pretty soon it doesn't matter if there is any truth in it at all because that hatred burns so hot.

For the entire summer, my family has been dealing with my dad's age and Parkinson's related decline. After a fall in June he ended up in the hospital, and then in Transitional Care, before we then had to find a place for him to get the care he needed that was now too much for my elderly mother to provide. We did find a place that seemed good and they said they would only charge for what he needed. They had good reviews. This place was expensive and didn't provide all the services they charged for. Pricing was "a la carte" which really meant they charged for everything. There were many caring staff, but the Health and Wellness Director, Michelle Allen used bullying when we had concerns. She routinely threatened to raise the price when we had questions, and she blamed inappropriate treatment on dad's dementia. Perhaps she is on commission, but her focus was on extracting as much money from our family as possible. When I asked about hospice care, she insisted d...

They're eating my grass. They're eating my leaves. They're eating the yard of us people THAT live there.

This was a new coworker when I was at the Minnesota Historical Society--just before Covid-19 and mass layoffs. Targeting immigrants with such bogus, emotional stories is nothing new. https://cutris.blogspot.com/2020/01/hate-mongers-please-stick-to-facts.html br />

Our Hmong neighbors invited us over to a ceremony honoring the grandpa and grandma. Of course, as usual, an influential clan leader asked me to hangout with him. Clan leaders do this to me sometimes. We were talking, and ended up eventually on politics. He said he was voting for Trump. I said "really? You know he thinks you're the problem. He doesn't like immigrants and forgot his own family came from Germany." My new friend then said, "that's true isn't it? We better vote for Harris huh?" I said "yeah." I excused myself later, though he protested when I wanted to leave. I guess I make friends easily. 🙂

Our country is fixated on race when the problem of discrimination is much deeper than that. It's a great attribute of humanity to be able to discriminate between right and wrong, hot and cold. It's a serious shortcoming to treat those who differ from us poorly. Humans have a long history of doing mean things to others who they perceive as different. The color of one's skin stands out and is an easy focal point for those who are not particularly intelligent. But if that difference doesn't exist, the lines will fall between ethnicity or country of origin. If everyone came from the same place, that small, timid kid is likely to get picked on. Humanity is not so different than it was when the fans cheered their favorite gladiator at the colosseum. But now, there is a backlash in the form of political correctness . This too, is rarely practiced at a moderate level—which tends to push it further from reality. In the case of Donald Trump, there may be a bit of racism i...
