Four years ago today, everyone saw a brutal crisis of democracy, failed and complicit leadership, and an ideology based on white supremacy and gang violence. Now, the brutal harvest is here.
Excellent! I'm still struggling to understand what we can all do except maybe pressure our Representatives, Senators, Governors, Democrats in office, not to collaborate (yes, that word), not to give in, to fight with everything they've got. It kills me that not one stood up to dispute the electoral college count and certification, not one called for a vote on the 14th Amendment. Not one. What can we do? I am so not in for the wishing-and-hoping thing, either. It's thoughts and prayers aimed at our democracy. That serves nothing and no one. Thanks for writing this, Tom.
It is time to stand up for the people that are/will be attacked. We know there will be groups of people that will need our help!
