we HAVE to take a harder look at our history in order to avoid the mistakes that were made previously. I was of sentient age when Kent State happened. I remember what an impact it had on me... and still has on me to this day.

I just had a song pop in my mind... I think the name of it is "We Need a Hero"... but that's always looking outside ourselves to have someone come in and rescue us. We need to change that song to WE are the Heroes we Need.

Everyone stay safe tomorrow. But let there be no question we will not go quietly into trumps hell of an autocracy. We will fight it every step he tries to take. If we're really lucky, the whole stress of the situation, as well as the world blowing up around him, will kill him with a heart attack or stroke. But we couldn't be that lucky. And, even if we were, the Dominionists via Vance, and the rest of the Nazi's via Miller and Bannon are just waiting to step in and take trumps place.

So again I say, stay safe. I know of two states who have declared open season on rally goers. One, right next door to me. Try to do right and righteous, and Evil will always be there to fight against you. But this is THE existential threat of our generation!
