Authoritarians everywhere wasting no time using this crisis as opportunity to push through undemocratic agendas. Hungary, Israel, USA. SCOTUS opinion today re Wisconsin is pure voter suppression. No generation of Americans was ever more challenged to rise up & save our democracy.

Pretty sure the first generation of Americans would get that award.

Marianne, if it weren’t for this shelter in place, I believe we would get a massive crowd in DC. All the people who’ve lost their jobs, plus activists, clergy...

That’s the point, though. People are not able to gather now, in DC or anywhere else, which gives a leg up to those who can take advantage of our inability to protest.

Right now the most important leader is the small still voice within. This period of forced pause and reflection is actually helpful. We need to think. To atone. To mature in our analysis and deepen in our spirits. Something amazing is incubating in our hearts and in our society.

This election has been the most discouraging of my young lifetime. I just stay annoyed, sad and depressed and sometimes angry 24/7 now. 2020 has been dreadful.

“The real opponent of our democracy is not conservative and it is not liberal. It is an authoritarian corporatism which has corrupted the United States Government.”
