I hear you and I agree, I'm angry and scared, but what can we as individuals really do to stop the madness...the people who have the power are just bending to his will.
"Stay engaged, unplug, stand up, sit down, shop here, don’t shop there, don’t give up, accept reality, donate, participate, make some butterflies (that one’s on me), hide under a rock and hope four years doesn’t feel like forty years and…also…hope four years doesn’t turn into forty years."
Exactly how I feel. Seems there is nothing we can do to stop this runaway blitzkrieg. I usually love your perspective on things but yesterday I couldn't help but holler out loud, " Make butterflies!!!! Really?!"
I am stunned! half the country is gleefully celebrating the destruction of democracy and the rule of law. Maybe everything has to burn to the ground before the phoenix can rise again.
I hate to be the one to break it to you—really, I do—but the house is on fire. And not in the charming, cozy way where you light a candle and suddenly everything smells like cinnamon and childhood nostalgia. No, this is the kind of fire where the walls collapse, the roof caves in, and someone on TV tells you with a straight face that everything is fine.
And here’s the kicker: We knew this was coming. We saw the blueprints. They were labeled Project 2025 in big, bold letters, and yet somehow, we’re standing here, roasting like human marshmallows while our elected officials shrug and say, Well, who could have seen this coming?
The country isn’t just in trouble—it’s in free fall. And the people in charge of the wrecking ball? They’re not even pretending anymore. They’re moving faster than Hitler did, and somehow, they’re doing it with a press release and a smile.
So, pay attention. Look around. Read the fine print. Know what’s happening in your corner of the world—because if you don’t, one day you’ll wake up, and the house won’t just be on fire. It’ll be gone.
Break it to me?! Wake up?! Gloria, we don’t know each other, but I have been speaking and writing about these very things for decades, in excruciating detail. Digging into all of it to try to understand what in the ever loving fuck was happening and in the process sharing what I found and hoping people would wake the hell up. I’m barely holding it together and doing my best every day to keep trying to get people to grasp the severity of the unprecedented moment in which we find ourselves, not just in the US but globally.
This is not a drill.
My heart is breaking, for my daughter and my people and humanity and the planet and the future.
This is bigger and deeper and more dangerous than most people comprehend. The house isn’t just on fire, the entire world is burning.
What are we going to do about that?
I plan to keep digging and keep writing and keep fighting the good fight as long as I can. I will not go gentle, and it seems you won’t either. ❤️
If I go it’s because I’ve been throw into a concentration camp or outright killed. I’m in a gay marriage and we are a bullseye for this fascism regime.
I hear you and I agree, I'm angry and scared, but what can we as individuals really do to stop the madness...the people who have the power are just bending to his will.
I think we have to stay kind and stay aware and love each other. ❤️
I'm with you...❤️❤️
You are so in my head

Spot on. Thank you ma'am.
It is all a bit overwhelming, isn't it? Hang in there, friend. xoxo!

It all feels impossible and overwhelming. But I won’t give up hope, because I will be damned if I let these asshats win.
Impossible and overwhelming are the words I am dealing with. I can't see a way to make a real difference. I feel powerless.
I am stunned! half the country is gleefully celebrating the destruction of democracy and the rule of law. Maybe everything has to burn to the ground before the phoenix can rise again.
Let's put our boots on!
I really hope we make it.
