1/ We have allowed too much horror to be normalized. I know we can’t stay in a constant state of outrage, nor should we. I know it’s exhausting and easier to just throw up our hands at a certain point. To turn to humor like jokes about the disinfectant comment.

2/ But the unnecessary suffering of tens of millions of people who can’t pay the rent or buy food now is something none of us should shut up about. We must refuse to shut up. The crumbs being thrown to those not fortunate enough to already have cake to eat is outrageous.

3/ We must always bear witness to the agony of others, or when the agony is ours there will be no one to bear witness for us.

2 days ago my daughter sent me this message. That night I dreamt of my mother. The next morning @ryangrim called me to verify my mother, her name & the show she called into August 1993. Hearing my mom's voice try to protect me was so powerful. Time & space is no obstacle to love.

If there is no empathy left, sorrow in the world will become unbearable. If we have one regret when we die, let it not be that we didn't care.

I can bare witness because I’m right there in the mix! This can’t be tolerated in the wealthiest country in world! This is a Democracy! “ For the people by the People “ I was just warned about the patriot act? To be careful what I say? We are not going to go for this ! 1st Amend

Bear witness? Yes. Refusing to shut up? Also yes. But after that, what courses of action are we to take? Personally, I think it’s too late to significantly improve government in Washington no matter what we say or whom we elect. There are limits no one can control. 1/2
