Thank you for this inspiring post. The line below stood out to me, as it highlights the work of everyone who has come before us, famous and anonymous, who strove to improve and protect our democracy, and that now, it is our turn to carry on those noble efforts. Great to have you on Substack.
"Whenever we stand and say, “No” to tyranny, we are already saying “Yes” to the work of building together the country we’ve never yet been."
I had a vision last night of us seeing and opening up what our souls are asking for: Connection, community, love, peace and truth. And rolling up our sleeves to help out: feed not only those who are newly bereft but those who have been hungry for years. Care, love, share. To see with the eyes of the Christ and to know the true source of abundance.
Thank you for articulating this balanced message of obstruction of evil acts combined with construction of what our hearts know we can be. You are answering Cory Booker’s call for us to all step up and lead.
This is so inspiring. On a day when I had reached a low point you reignited my resolve. I am already planning to protest again on April 19 with my husband and grandson. I want to follow the examples of Jesus and Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King. I am ready...
This language is a fine beginning. I hope to return and find a few gentlemen will have read and responded to the viewpoint of non-violence as the construct for bringing about meaningful social change in our society.
If by some miracle we could create a "new American Revolution" able to ignite public lives spent following truth, compassion, integrity, peace, self-sacrifice, and economic justice, along with competence - without shedding the blood of fellow Americans - then we shall have truly spawned a new age for democracy in our country. That is a gift worth sharing with the world.
My heart is full, and I feel a sense of relief and invigoration just knowing that there is a growing movement to call out the immorality and cruelty of the current regime, to raise our voices to create the compassionate communities and a more just system of governance that we all want.
The so called Christians in America are some of the most hateful and racist people on the country. They do not follow the teachings of Jesus and probably would have killed him again if he were in society today. They are disgusting. Don’t count on them embracing kindness and tolerance. That’s for white people only.

We can—and must—hope one another.
