I know we’re not supposed to be afraid, we’re supposed to be angry. I just have to admit though that I am afraid. I’m very afraid…for all of us. For what we’ve lost. For what’s coming. I don’t know where we belong in the world anymore. Yes, I’m afraid.

FDR said it best when he said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Be concerned, be angry, but then do something. Action does not allow room for fear. I am deeply affected by what is happening but I am not afraid.
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”
~Mark Twain
We must fight like hell. Protest. Let's make MAGA regret chosing that orange shit box.
Being Scared doesn’t mean you aren’t Brave.
If they purge their way through the armed services until the soldiers controlling our nuclear arsenal are loyal only to him and not the constitution we are lost for generations. Their thousand year Reich fantasy may become reality.
We watch the ever evolving circus being driven by the ‘ ring master ‘ surrounded by his faithful clowns. Bring on the elephants, jugglers and acrobats to truly confound you whilst you are being fooled.
And!Take 10-15 minutes each work day to call GOP Sens&Reps fm any state-enforce Constitution!
Anyone looking for a place to start could try the national Hands Off! action on April 5: https://handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible
Action like this was unthinkable for so many of us even months ago. But here we are. 🤷♀️
It's time for Americans to prove that democracy is important enough defend. And so many of us are doing just that. I'm proud of us!
Every act, in spite of fear, however small, is an act of defiance. And every act of defiance grants cause to hope.
Hope is the remedy of fear.

I know we are all wired differently. My reactions to more bad political news that arrives daily is not rumination or paralysis ... it's pretty much a feeling of reflexive & electric "go do activism".
So much so, I need to learn when to say whoa.
The reality now is our culture is changing under our feet and it’s a horrible sickening feeling. I recommend reading book On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. 🙏🏻
Not for my and all children.
It's overcoming that fear and continue to fight that will lead to eventual victory...🎖️
