While I’m not a religious person, I would he remiss to not express my deep sorrow at the loss of Pope #Francis , whose leadership and bulwark against authoritarianism we so desperately needed. Rest easy, and thank you for standing up to world bullies, Francis.

Germany managed to stand up and avoided handing over their democracy to Elon today. Next time, we may not be so lucky. We have to root out fascism wherever we find it, before it takes hold.

Am I the only one that sees his infidelity as a major red flag? We’re supposed to entrust this serial adulterer with our nation’s biggest secrets and defense strategy? When he couldn’t even be honest with his own wife? When he sexually colluded with another woman to make a baby out of wedlock?

It does not feel good to me, because I fear we’ll all have to carry the weight. And we, not them, will have to clean up the mess and rebuild. But, we’ll do it, because as Ursula says, “that’s what [we] do”. Progressives are the fix it crew. Won’t be the first, but I do hope it’s the last!
