Some Thoughts As The Terrible Bill Is Passed

Just some observations as the terrible bill is passed in Washington. It's depressing and Knicks me off my stride for a. minute. But it's also a day to assess where we are & be certain about the urgent need to move forward. 

* We are at the point where all the various factions and divides between people who stand united in opposition to what is taking place, need to find one another. The intent on the right is clearly to take our rights & to have the option to disappear us and kill us. 

* If you are a rank & file person on our side of pro-democracy aisle acting in good faith, then you are okay with me even if we have disagreements. I’ll work to be okay in your eyes as we proceed. We have to work together to fight this nightmare.

* The passing of the bill doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t know about the Republicans & about the people in our lives who support it or who are silent. (I’m always open to anyone who wants to choose a better path if you want to stop enabling all this.)

I’m going to keep at it as best I can & I ask you to do the same if you are able. This all is a massive mental health crisis for decent people. It’s a full betrayal of anything good or hopeful.

* Tomorrow, July 4, is just another day which means another day to find our way to one another for the very difficult challenge ahead.​ It's also though a day to find our bearings after a defeat and still move forward.
