I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

One of my greatest pleasures in life has been watching these incredible creatures roaming free. It’s a sight to behold. It’s easy to overlook these “little things” with the plethora of headlines, but it takes only a few minutes to call your rep and remind them how important our animal friends are.

I’ve had this discussion with a few people. We do need a reckoning-either find ways to live together or agree to a national ”amicable divorce.” Seeing the end of the USA was not in my life plan. I have mixed feelings, but admit I’d move to a ”safe state” were it to happen.

Agreed. Our son, DIL, and grands share our values. We all ”resist”, & that teaches strength, resilience, organizational skills, etc., but they’re still exposed to the hatred and corruption. Protesting in any form helps 1 cope. Being involved is healthier than curling up in a ball or being in denial!

My heart aches for my grandchildren and their generation who have grown up in this era. They are either living in fear or are indoctrinated. Recovery will take generations. This trauma is now part of the US psyche.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.
