Considering what just happened in Russia with the assassination of Putin critic Alexei Navalny, I came across this news today out of Tennessee, and I’m bringing this to the attention of our Daily Kos community, in case anyone hadn’t heard about it yet.
I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say that something like that could eventually happen here, too (assassinating people that try to tell the truth).
As if we didn’t already know, there are many, many people in our beloved country and world that are hell-bent on taking us backwards into a very dark place. We all know that they aren’t the majority, but they aren’t quitting. They are persistent. I happen to believe they will not prevail without us somehow letting them.
There is no “middle ground” or negotiating with people like this. They must be defeated, and we must keep our resolve up and keep fighting for as long as it takes, however exhausting it might be at times.
They hate LGBTQ people of all types (especially the T right now), Jewish people, Muslim people, Black people, poor people, most women, the “wrong types of Christians”, and the list goes on. They continue to deny climate change and global pandemics. They lie.
It’s okay to be different! Regardless of whatever higher power you believe in or not, if God didn’t like variety, he/she would’ve made all of us the same! But they didn’t!
Many people seem to think they own the world and can use and abuse it as they please. They view democracy with pure disdain and disgust. I’m getting really sick and tired of it! They lost an election in the U.S. in 2020 and lost all their marbles because of it! These dark forces are only getting worse, not better.
As far as we know, there is only one earth that is accessible to us (this one) and we are tragically ruining our only home in the universe. We have to learn to share this place and stop maiming and killing each other! We need real, practical solutions for real problems. This planet continues to overheat. We need humanity to somehow come together. We need love!
Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Our fight is the fight of the entire free world. Quite literally.
Almost without exception, all around the world, it seems like most of these problems are being caused by money and power-hungry, out-of-control men (usually white). Am I wrong?
Reporting truth and protecting the free-press is so crucial. It’s all interconnected.
Please take good care of yourselves and thank you for all you do to fight for justice and equality. Thank you for this website for keeping us informed and giving us a sense of empowerment over our world.
All of us deserve to be loved as humans, and we all have some kind of inherent value as individuals. I believe that. I also believe that if we continue to do our part, we can truly make the world a better place for all of us. I’ll never stop trying.
