And now we begin…
Elections are over. And God will be given the credit or the blame. That’s the way we play it.
We prefer not taking responsibility; and accountability is out of the question.
The Democratic leadership shut the door on Arab Americans and others demanding our government stop arming Israel’s genocide. They turned their backs on the working class. These were fatal errors.
Trump played his hand quite well, convincing people he doesn’t mean them when he speaks of deportations and making people forget about his Muslim bans. Got to give it to him, he’s slick. Now we get Elon slashing experts from the government and, Kennedy in charge of our health.
But don’t, please don’t tell me it’s because you prayed or didn’t pray hard enough.
Don’t blame your God for your ignorance.
You have a brain. and in you there is a heart still beating, so compassion and empathy must be there somewhere. Find them.
We had choice, many choices for many years and we squandered them away.
We had the choice to end racism. We threw gasoline on that fire. Signs read “Back the Blue”; they do not read “Stop Killing Black People”. And after 500 years, Biden apologizes for Federal Indian Boarding Schools – while remaining complicit in Israel’s genocide. Jimmy Carter warned us to walk away from fossil fuels, but greed got in the way. Now it’s “Drill baby drill”.
We have been selfish. Now we will see where our selfishness leads.
We can still choose a way out – learning from one another, caring for one another, celebrating the preciousness of life and protecting this incredible home we call Earth – could do it.
Our humanity must become our resistance. Unity our strength.
let kindness win
