Yes, I would like to cancel my subscription to 2021 after this free trial. All kidding aside, this year has started out with a bang, it got very rough, real fast. I hope things calm down as we go along.
Please calm down 2021.
I am a passionate believer in social justice, and I am an idealist too. When I see events like we saw yesterday I react strongly from my bleeding heart compassionate liberal sensibility. I will own what I say but at the same time, I won’t argue with those who might disagree. My intent in sharing how I feel and see things is to express what is on my heart and to try to make sense of it all. I appreciate your support but if you feel like I am just too much for you I understand if you must unfollow me. I cannot please everyone and I won’t try to.
Righteous anger is a righteous response.

This makes me sick to my stomach. This is America right now. Not the greatest nation on Earth, not that it was to begin with.
Supporting this president who has ignited what in my mind is a coup to keep himself in power is truly unAmerican. Burning down a great democracy is not worth it to support one man who has done great harm to this country. I have respect for Republicans who stand for the peaceful transfer of power and who are not in politics to make life hard for others. Today’s storming of the Capitol Building is nothing short of terrorism and insurrection. This is not supposed to happen here. To hell with Trump.
We are strongest when we see the most vulnerable in our society, bear witness to their struggles, and then work to create systems to make it better.
