Proud liberal living in “purplish” Arizona with my husband. Lived in Wisconsin and DC. Surprised to be yearning for the “good old days”of George W. Bush
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
@BrianEntin What about the backpack. It looks like it's packed with someone bulky. Possibly a tarp? LE should check with nearby Lowes, Ace, Home Depot, etc., to have them check purchases of tarps, etc.
@mikejwhelan Thinking of and praying for you. Hospice is a blessing, once you get over the "finality" that hospice is associated with. In reality, hospice provides comfort, care and eases the transition---making the final months, weeks and hours a time of presences instead of panic.
