I’m on the phone with my husband. Literally crying about how I don’t know what to write about this week on my blog and he tells me to write what it is I am telling him in our conversation. He’s in BJ’s listening to people talk about the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and I am going on and on about how that has set off my anxiety along with another event earlier this week.
On Thursday, the current white house resident held a history conference where he announced he would be launching a commission called the 1776 Commission as a direct rebuttal to the 1619 Project which he describes as “rewritten American history taught to our children that we were founded on the principle of oppression, not freedom.” He further goes on to say that such teachings are compared to child abuse. CHILD ABUSE. That’s almost as idiotic as the attorney general comparing wearing masks to SLAVERY.
Then, last night we loss an iconic woman in Justice Ginsburg. It is hard to grieve her death and not be fearful of what the future looks like without her here. She has been a champion for women, the LGBT community, civil rights, equal pay and so much more for her entire career. Pioneer is too small a word to describe and less than 20 minutes after the announcement of her passing, like vultures, the opposition was ready to swoop in and steal the spoils before real human emotions could settle in. That should frighten us all..
That wasn’t what bought the tears to my eyes however….. as my dear sister Mitchell says, go deeper. I went deeper. My heart ached. I got back to the very reason I started the blog. I felt compassion and empathy for all of the individuals who are oblivious to what is going on around them and how these nuggets of changes will affect them for the rest of their lives. No matter what side of politics you stand on, red or blue, change is coming,
We cannot be so firm on one side that we despise the other and wish to see them fail. Their failure also is our failure. We are the UNITED STATES of America. We may not agree, but we live together. We need to get back to the days where we could have opposing views but articulate with intelligence and display love for one another.
That is the way we win! A house divided will always fail!
I love you all to life. Pray for someone
