All very nice, but we're not going to save America by hunkering down, ignoring reality swirling around us, enjoying our homegrown vegetables and saying nice things to people. We are living a national emergency and the creators of chaos would love nothing more than for people who know better to sign off. I don't disparage people who choose that route for whatever reason. But I encourage those who can to fight back. If you love an America where all people are created equal (even if they are trans) and we abide by the rule of law, then pay attention because those two things are being undermined right now - and if we let them go, we may never get them back.
I expected someone to respond in such a way, and I’m happy it’s you, Rare Old Bird! ;-) Yes, we need to resist, but I am currently all out of fight. On the bright side: spring is coming, and I am sure the fight will come back to me at some point. When it does, I hope it is strategic, effective, and done out of resolve and integrity and not anger and hatred. We need to be grounded and well to fight well.
