That is some scary and disturbing information. You basically can’t trust either side.

Scary but liberating, we have each other and that means something.

At 73 years old I don’t feel that. I’m only hoping that my kids, grand kids and great grandkids will see a better world. It honestly feels like Hitlers reign, at least from all the books I have read.

Yeah, I get that, especially as the years start creeping up on me too. That said, you've got a really solid head on your shoulders, and what you're saying hits the mark precisely because it matters for your kids, your grandkids, and generations down the line.

I'm not sure where it comes from, but what you said reminds me of this proverb: A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

Scary and uncertain times, sure.

Have heart, for hope is not lost just yet.

Since seeing Hakeem Jeffries’ resistance to cutting all Congressional-approved funding for ICE (claiming ICE can be salvaged), then hearing about the $1.3 mil he accepted from AIPAC, I’ve lost any trust in dem “moderates”. Israel provided training for ICE. Convenient.

Words fail me and this article fills me with such fear, I don’t have the words to describe.I am trying to reframe my fear to stop it from paralysing me, and I WILL succeed if only to feel in some way with the people of Minnesota and all the other quiet Americans who are starting to make their voices heard and their actions seen.
