There’s Something Happening Here…

There is madness in the land, Sisters and Brothers. The US military deployed on native soil, facing down their fellow citizens. I fear we are inching closer and closer to an authoritative takeover of our beloved democracy: Dark times, Friends and Neighbors. Do what you can to resist this terrible tide. We are all of us rowing in the same boat, even those who would sink it.
