Description

What has happened to us America? We have military in our streets, ICE murdering people in custody, we’re building concentration camps on our shores and shipping people to foreign prisons without evidence of a crime. We demolished one-third of the White House, our President is calling for Democratic leaders to be executed, and we might go to war with Venezuela for oil and minerals while American citizens can’t afford food or health care. It’s hard to be an empathetic, aware, patriotic American right now. To find, at this Thanksgiving holiday, what there is to be thankful for. So, today we bring it in and attempt to offer the perspective our country is understandably lacking right now.

I refuse to let this so-called president change who I am fundamentally. I will continue to pay for the next person in line at the coffee shop. I will continue to help people whenever the opportunity presents itself.

I really appreciate your message. Having deep sympathy for those who the admin have gone after, to be thankful for all the little things in life that truly matter. And then to be deeply troubled and saddened by how much of our country has either been dismantled or fractured is heartbreaking.
