BTW, when you mentioned making a meme earlier of the quote I'd mentioned, I remembered I had one in my gallery:

Autumn scenery of trees hanging over a road that runs back into the center of the picture. The trees' leaves are in shades of red and orange surrounding the road. The trunks of the trees are a dark brown or black. Superimposed over the center of the picture in white lettering are the words "We're all just walking each other home. - Ram Dass"

Thank you for the mention, Hopeful, my friend. It is people like you, and those with whom you have helped me connect, that help me feel less tired--as well as maintain my hope--in the face of the current state of the country. I have no doubt many others feel the same because of you! ♡

Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn't defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people. - Rob Reiner Let us all continue to speak out, participate, be vigilant, and offer courage to each other.

Rob Reiner was an enormous talent on multiple levels- and an even bigger humanitarian. This is a huge loss in so many ways. Every time someone who does so much worldly good departs from us, it leaves a paradox: there is the void of their absence, but there is also the light that remains. RIP, Rob✨️

Obviously not a song, but "pull" or "push" made me think of this cartoon... 😁

I'd say if there's even a 1% chance...

Photo of the back of the current "president" with his tiny fists up. He's facing the US flag. Text below it says, "Are we really so depraved as a nation that we can't even agree that the President of the United States shouldn't be a pedophile? And that if there's even a 5% chance he is, it must be thoroughly investigated? Why is that controversial? I'd say the same about a POTUS of any party."

It's #IndependenceDay in America, with little to celebrate. There is, however, much to be done. With that in mind, I'm "celebrating" the #FouthofJuly by protesting. I refuse to give up the fight for our democracy. #WeThePeople must press on. See you all in the streets. #nokings #pushback #resist
