Yesterday's protest was great! 3-4 THOUSAND people congregated at Rochester's Cobbs Hill to protest against Trump and Musk = and to say that we are sick of the cruelty this administration represents. So today, I give thanks to those who brought us together, including Rochester's Indivisibility
The photo here reminds me that what we are witnessing is a blitzkrieg - a Nazi "lightening war" - against our democracy and the basic rules of decency. If we feel traumatized and dizzy from it all, please remember: This is how we are supposed to feel! We are supposed to feel too overwhelmed and too afraid to speak up, to demonstrate, and to protest. Our enemies right now are hate, cruelty, indecency - and our own exhaustion! Yesterday proved that we can start to overcome these enemies - If we band together and stick together!
As Winston Churchill stated: “This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
It feels so much better to be doing something! It may just be a small start, but it is, indeed, a start!
