Ditto, Julie.

Please read Liz Cheney’s plan outlined to the Democratic Party. I’ve posted and it was via Robert Reich.

At least it’s something tangible to hold the party accountable for action not just talking.

Very difficult. My first coup. I worry for my grandchildren.

Mike does take me to my knees sometimes because of his deep love for America as well as a “moral compass “.

Hang in there, you are right not to absorb everything all at once all the time. Take care❤️👍☀️😎

We are indeed all part of the big show. A friend of mine was incensed because someone told him that we are getting what we deserve. He didn’t vote for trump and didn’t feel the country deserves this misanthropic catastrophe of a government because the majority of citizens didn’t ask for it. True, but we all share the same human characteristics that attract psychological pain. At the same time we are not at fault. We are humans; animals with animal instincts and very large and fragile egos (maybe the result of that Apple that Eve shared 😉). The trick to dealing with our imperfection in an imperfect world, I have found, is to accept the fact that we are all flawed. It helps me to keep from beating up on myself and also keeps me from indulging in self righteous criticism of others. Not sure how it works, but it keeps me from spiraling into dark energy and leaves me free to enjoy those I love and the beauty around me much more intensely. It doesn’t eliminate the disfunction of our society but it does give me a space where I can enjoy the sunshine.
