Reaction Overwhelming

Some thoughts about hurt and healing

"By interfering in the Paris Peace Talks and prolonging the Vietnam War, Nixon prioritized his political ambitions over the lives of thousands of American soldiers and countless others affected by the conflict."

Yup

"Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."

Trump is just an end result

"The ultimate lesson of the Roman Republic’s fate is that once you’ve allowed one man to rule as a monarch, even if you pretend he doesn’t, you are past the point of no return."

My thoughts on Being Spiritual

"The skepticism she has received isn’t just about celebrity gossip, it’s a microcosm of how society often treats women’s pain as an exaggeration. And when it’s a Black woman speaking out? The disbelief comes faster." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Some thoughts on "Centrism"

"Once this happens; once-ordinary, rational, decent, even compassionate people begin to lose their ability to see the humanity in front of them—it's too late to help them see clearly."

How many Americans view him also

How Fear "Works" in my Life

"Harvard now faces one of the most consequential choices in its centuries-long history:"

If you ever want to see evidence that we need a working Government, for example things like the EPA, watch the tv show called The Rockford Files, and see the heavy layer of smog over Los Angeles in those days.

"When the party clings to the political center and treats urgent issues like bargaining chips, it fails to meet the moment and pushes a generation away."

"Their goal is to dismantle the central pillars of the United States of America—government, law, business, education, culture, and so on—because they believe the very shape of those institutions serves what they call 'the Left.'”

This needs to be said loudly and repeatedly.

Kidnapping and disappearing. This is what Authoriterian/Nazi states do.

"There is only one issue today in American politics: President Trump’s hacksaw attack on the American Republic."

"Today Republicans are more of a cult than a party while most Democrats dither as they try to figure out what they stand for other than re-election." www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

What is the beginning?

Some of my thoughts on the Power of Choice

This is Truth

"It felt like we had all been kidnapped, thrown into some sort of sick psychological experiment meant to strip us of every ounce of strength and dignity."

Another set of circumstances set up by the Idiocracy that is the Trump administration.

Curse? Or Call To Action?

"His mealy-mouthed arrogance about surrendering to Trump’s assault as the right thing to do so that people won’t be hurt is appalling."
