I didn't hear about the assasination of Melissa Hortman or the attempted assasination of John Hoffman [View all]

until I picked up my protest sister before our local event today.

And it's just sinking in now.

While the No Kings event brought so much joy, comaraderie and a much needed uplifting to my spirit, to be with so many good, decent, like minded people, that news was a painful reminder of just how awful, how cruel, many in our society have become.

A painful reminder of just how dark things are and how rapidly things are deteriorating. The con artist has been such a dark stain. He has brought out so much hatred and cruelty. Everything is awful.

But good people are standing up and speaking out. And that is what it is going to take. Good people standing up, speaking out and fighting back. Silence is no longer an option.
