It's all just too much. We have never stood on equal ground. But now our country is taking giant steps back beyond the gains (even tho not at all equal or adequate) we previously fought so hard for. In this current MAGA climate, people are given permission - - and openly and actively being encouraged and supported by even more draconian legislation - - to act on their own WORST impulses of hate and racism and misogyny and prejudice. What we must NOT do is be silent and overwhelmed But it is so hard not to give into the impulse to just give up. We must look to each other for the strength to stand up and speak out.

We often loose ourselves while trying to find ourselves but sleep is only temporary. We are Woke and we ain’t going back.
