History will speak of this as the darkest of hours for America.

Damn, Wendy, you really laid it on the line. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer! And the rich aren't even aware enough to be embarrassed. Look at Bozo's decadent, entitled wedding. Who buys a whole city in Europe for a wedding and thinks nothing of the optics of selfishness and greed? This is one big spiritual bruise on our democracy (not to mention an actual, physical gut punch to the American people). If the relatively healthy and mentally sound people don't march, who is going to save the sick and handicapped? (We need to turn those handicaps into arrows for justice). I keep thinking back to the French Resistance. Maybe because I was born in Bastille Day (and France celebrates my birthday, unbeknownst to them) and our precious Statue of Liberty was gifted from them, I keep coming back to their example of resistance. We could lay down and let the tanks roll over us (as the regime would like us to do) or we can fight back with whatever means is available to us. Thanks, Wendy, for being brave.
