Unfortunately we are headed deeper into the abyss. Because of my personal situation ( I can't elaborate on) I hold my tongue on many issues when in public but I didn't use to be this way. But one thing I continue to do is SHUN people I know to be republicans. I don't care if they are family, friends, neighbors, or who/whomever. I just cannot associate with someone who thinks my life is a sin because I am gay or my marriage is not real for the same reason. These very people will find a way to harm you if you don't let them use you to their advantage. Race, Income, Health, Identity, and more, are all doomed if the leaders we elect do not take a more forceful role in protecting us as they promised they would.

My opinion is just that, MINE. I want to see all these old people in politics replaced by young progressives. Give me the Crockets, the Porters, the Jefferies. I don't want word salad and "lets be civil" and empty promises anymore. Someone has to stop this insanity. "Good Trouble" is more than just getting in front of a camera or making a tiktok reel saying "I'm doing this and that. I've done this and that" They need to actually DO THE WORK "or get off the pot"!

Sorry for the long rant.....I've had another really bad day and Your words, rightfully so, brought out my frustrations because I can feel yours too!

KT2000, you keep posting the truth! God love you for it because I need waking up every now and then! Thank you!

May You Be Healthy, Safe and Happy!

(sorry about my anger! As I said, it was a really shitty day!)
