The United States of America has entered a constitutional crisis. There should be no question about this or the consequences of the fidelity we’re about to see from Republican elected officials to the convicted felon.
@GovernorShapiro is a rising star for the Democrats. Smart, articulate, thoughtful, and able to reach across the aisle to get things done. We need more of this, desperately.
When you think about the fact that a woman (Fani Willis) whose ancestors were brought to this country as slaves, is courageously defending democracy and the rule of law, in the very country that was formed by men who earned their fortunes on the backs of the slaves they owned, it’s incredibly humbling.
It’s a testament to what this country means…even to those who were born on US soil by virtue of the generations before them having come here as a result of losing their freedom.
Some people have reason to have a better appreciation of freedom than others. The greater the appreciation of freedom, the harder people fight to defend and protect it.
The last couple of years we’ve seen the worst of this country. Now, we’re beginning to catch more frequent glimpses of the BEST of this country.
There is no “system” in place without the people required to run the system. You might even say, that the system….IS the people.
Democracy is holding, because of our system….and that means it’s holding, because of the PEOPLE.
“We, the people…”
“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”
