And here we are given an opportunity - if we are bold enough to take it

I'm reminded of a story about a little girl who asks her grandfather how come there are so few men and boys in the village. He tells her that long ago a soldier with a gun took them away. How many went? she asked? 200. How could 1 soldier with 1 gun take away 200 men & boys? Because no one among us wanted to be the first to die, And so we all did.

Of course I'm not saying we should die; but I am compelled by the courage it takes to say, No!

Walking home I saw the Tesla Free Zone sign had been spray-painted over & a bumper sticker smashed rhere: Trump won - get over it. Even here on our island the maga right is holding out for a regime

Silly.... they are pushing for more women to have more babies - considering paying $5k per birth AT THE SAME TIME that they have decimated medicaid, head start, & all the rest to support those moms & children.

IDIOTS all

l think about my dad his 5 brothers enlisting in WWII - some not even "of age." He was the reason I served as a US Navy nurse.

We keep on keepin on

Standing strong with you that We the People will prevail over the people in power.
