This is exactly it. This should never have been allowed to happen and I am beyond saddened and disgusted. Thank you for saying it so well with so much class.
Thank you, Margot. Even today, after seeing a judge blocked the release of documents from Trump's criminal case and that Meta is abandoning their fact-checking program, you somehow manage to gift a sliver of hope.
It has been shocking watching people fall under the spell of propaganda, and so much of it can be directly connected to our media and social media. We are what we eat, and a lot of people really love junk food.
I am ashamed, disgusted, and deeply disturbed as well, Margot. My words for the year are “detach” and “powerful”. I do not believe the Democrats can save us or they already would have. The Democrats are as deeply married to corporations as the Republicans. The Democrats have consistently moved farther and farther right to try and gain voters from a party that already exists and to which those voters prefer. And they (the Dems) have left behind the core principles that made them different than the Republicans in the first place, the very ideals that attracted voters like me. I no longer identify as a Democrat. I have DETACHED from them, from identifying with any kind of label. I have detached from the chaos they all seem to thrive upon while doing nothing to save us, to save our world. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. And we are POWERFUL or they would not be trying so hard to suppress us. My heart is with you today, and with everyone who values truth, kindness, fair and equal justice, compassion, and empathy. My heart aligns with those who believe that every living thing deserves to be loved and cared for regardless of their color, sex, nationality, class, sexual preference, whether they be humans, mammals, fish, birds. I admire what you’re doing. You are an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good fight. ❤️
I understand how you feel. We need a new party, the two party system is irrevocably broken. These are chaotic and unsettling times. I hope that we, the people, can come together to make it through. ❤️
"...we, the people..." Gosh Margot, I sure hope we are still 'a people'; not feeling it at the moment. We no longer value the truth of objective reality.
Well, there is always a we, but it isn't always everyone. However, the people who are ready to fight the good fight together in this moment, are the we to which I refer. I am certain that many of us still value the truth. Though parsing it out may become more challenging as we move into this Brave New World.
I am heart broken and disgusted that this was allowed to happen...not looking forward to the next yrs....this is bad 👎
It is bad indeed.
This is exactly it. This should never have been allowed to happen and I am beyond saddened and disgusted. Thank you for saying it so well with so much class.
I had other words, but I left them on the cutting room floor today. This is a day of mourning.
Yes … mourning is the right word.

I try, but some days are harder than others!
It is beyond comprehension and appalling to me that people I used to know well think he is the "answer". They must be asking the wrong questions.

Yup, yesterday hit hard.
