your rights

 




Dear People,

All there is now is crying and fear.  An endless plain of suffering that Republicans have wrought for us. 

Ray Bradbury said that we should be feeling when we write, not thinking.  My feelings are a huge burning ball of rage and despair, and articulate words are not easily formed from this magma.

Historian Heather Cox Richardson tells me that just 16 Republicans could stop this abuse and terror; that 23 of them could remove our hateful dying President.  Know this, that if you come around me and I find out you are a Republican or that you sympathize with any flavor of conservative racist crap, it will be the last time you see me.  I will not be doing any forgiveness, no exceptions, no "but they didn't realize."  I won't even be discussing it, there will just suddenly be an empty space where I was.

The thing that you know, in the core of your existence, is that any power you wield as a human, your height, your wealth, your weight, your intelligence, your brawn, your speed, your keen eyesight, your anything, must MUST be used to shield and protect the people less powerful than you.  Our responsibility is to take care of others and not to harm them.  This is it.  The whole thing, the whole state of being human.  Ask yourself if you are one and know your rights.
