2/ But that’s not the end of the story; our democracy isn’t dead yet. Each of us needs to become an immune cell in our diseased & broken body politic. On levels macro & micro, our lives are readjusting to turn us into who we need to be in order to do what we need to do right now.

1/ They always compromised with democratic principles a little bit here & there, always justifying or denying what they were doing. That weakened our immune system so much that when a full on attack on our democracy happened, it couldn’t handle the assault & now lies near death.

Yes we’re watching her navigate through all this. You & I wouldn’t have chose to get so chummy with the system, but she has a lot to balance. It’s important for the rest of us to keep laying it down, so she & others know we’re out there when we see their audacity begin to fade.

Of course you reject the lie. I made that clear. Or perhaps I didn’t make it clear. But I would request that you read the whole thing I said very carefully.

I don’t think you would see it that way if you read what I was saying in full. Either that or I miscommunicated.

3/ But holding to what you know to be true is imperative, even if only in the silence of your own heart. Protect it there, and share it safely. The day will come when it will not be silenced.

2/and sometimes, on a temporary basis, you might align yourself with a less-than-truth in order to get to a place where telling the real truth and having it be heard is even possible.

1/ Few people complain about a rigged system when it’s been rigged in their favor. It becomes very tempting to acquiesce to a lie when you know the lie is more likely to be rewarded than is holding to the truth in your heart,

Bravo! Important to celebrate wins like this & acknowledge the people who made them happen. That’s a glue that holds together a unified consciousness, a growing sense that we’re not disconnected pieces but rather a massive global uprising of people forging a new birth of freedom.
Hey--big win! The Feds just canceled oil and gas lease sales in Utah after huge opposition. Such thanks to all who fought--I particularly liked these posters from @HRothsteinArt !

Absurd. Child trafficking was exposed for years before & millions of responsible citizens knew it. It’s been $60B industry for decades. My campaign was on it - & other issues of child trauma - with plans for a Dept. of Children & Youth. We underfund efforts to fight for our kids
