Oh Ally, every fucking day it’s another punch in the gut. I’m in a suburb of Minneapolis, about 14 miles from where today’s execution took place. Every time I leave my house, I’m on high alert for something bad to happen…and hope I’ll have the courage to do something to help if it does. I know you feel me after going through similar events in Los Angeles…thank you for holding space for me to again vent some of my sadness and rage.
Literally feel so gutted and enraged and horrified. I saw some comments under posts about it from the supporters of this administration and could feel my blood boiling. A couple of times I started to reply and deleted. I have realized — today I think, finally — it’s hopeless as far as that goes. They are gone. But I am so angry about the danger you’re in as a result. It genuinely breaks my heart to think of you feeling that way driving around your own city. And I suspect they will do this same thing in every state this aberrant creature hates, unless we get them out. I am sorry, Jennie. I am thinking about you all the time, truly. If there’s anything I can do from here, if there are good organizations we can support, please say the word. Sending you the biggest hug and a lot of love.
Heartbreaking and gut-wrenching don’t even begin to describe these events. We’re watching as horrified as you are across in the UK and want you to know you are not alone but I honestly don’t know what to say. Unspeakable. Sending virtual support and love.
It is very comforting to me and I have no doubt millions of us who didn’t vote for this and never wanted any of this to happen, to know that people in other countries are aware of that and care 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 It is unfathomable that we do not have 23 Republican senators willing to put an end to this. That’s what it would take. 23 people to put the country and democracy ahead of whatever personal gains or personal fears they have and uphold the oaths they took. We’d still have to get at the root of the rot that enabled this to happen here in the first place, but my god it is infuriating and breathtaking that NOTHING rouses these people from their devotion to their own self-interest. Anyway I did not sleep last night and I could go on for hours, but thank you for being here, Anya. I appreciate you so much ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Ate a little lunch after yesterday’s zoom and then picked up my neighbor and we went to a meditation session at our library less than a mile away. My neighbor said she had just gotten a call that someone else in Minnesota had been shot. Got home and tried looking for info about it which of course was devastating to see on Blue Sky. I remember going to March for Our Lives rallies alone 10 years ago where not many people showed up here in SC and my husband would say please be safe, be careful. I guess being care filled is now punishable by death. I took supper to another neighbor last night who is home with her 3 year old while her husband travels towards home on icy roads. I will never stop caring! 😢
I know you won’t and I won’t either, and millions of us won’t. We need to remember that and keep doing all those things to show up for each other and figure out new ways to fight back, and we’ll get through this. We will. But right now it’s so painful and I find days like this utterly devastating and I don’t sleep. My nervous system is just too distressed. I keep thinking about Alex Pritti’s parents and friends, about that poor woman who was filming and how traumatized she is, about little Liam Ramos and Becca Good and Renee’s kids and just wtf is happening here and it does me in. We aren’t meant for this kind of nonstop heartache. Anyway I am sending you love, Mary. It was good to be with you this morning which feels like a week ago. Sending you hugs ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

we should impeach the current President.
Yes and remove the entire corrupt administration.
Thank you …

I’m not a person who naps but I hope you can get some rest and that your dog is feeling better. 🙏
I’m not great at napping either, but I will try. And yes, thankfully Rufus has been released from the curse of Montezuma.
