This morning I woke from what I would call a nightmare.  It was a response to what’s happening daily, an onslaught of lies and corruption, a nightmare.  In the “dream”, I was trying to understand the political situation, and I came to a place where I had to admit it was too much.  I sat down at a table under an umbrella, and then, I woke up.  I know the plan is to overwhelm us, and now awake, I feel an inner support to yes, acknowledge the horror, and also, mobilize strength.  This can’t go on.  

It’s Memorial Day weekend.  We honor and remember those who fought for democracy, and those who died.  I think of my grandfather in WWI, who fought to end all wars, my father in WWII, my uncle, my husband’s father.  We honor them this weekend as we recognize a different kind of attack, an attack on what we know is right.

Maureen Dowd writes today about Trump pushing crypto and Bitcoin for himself.

“I really do it because I think it’s the right thing to do,” he said.

In Trump’s moral universe, the right thing to do is always the thing that makes him richer.

This weekend offers a time to reflect.  In that, we mobilize even more to stop him and the corruption he represents and manifests.  It’s enough.
