The most recent shooting tells us just how ill our country has gotten. I am pretty much in despair now all the time unless I don't look at any news or online anything and how realistic is that. It is so disheartening as you say this road we have taken away from decency, from compassion, from humanity. And ahead of us only an administration that will take us further away. One of the richest countries in the world and we will not take care of our suffering Americans who cannot climb out of poverty or homelessness without help. We have lots of money to kill and go to war but no money for our communities to thrive. I teach seniors and it is so hard not to talk about things w them everyday and just let be kids sometimes. It is so hard to be looking out at a sea of faces, half of which are young women who have to continue to be subjected to sexual harassment and sexual violence because we just can't figure out how to protect girls and women and now incels and little andrew tates are springing up everywhere. Women are dying in red states (and teens) and it is already normalized, we can't even pass the ERA, won't guarantee reproductive rights, all men in new administration have two things in common money and sexual assault. How do we keep our head up. How do we come to terms with the fact that so many people in our country are essentially happy to support monsters. How do we reconcile their hypocrisy about freedom when they are hell bent on stealing it.

America is the bad place and it’s about to be the worst place. I’m afraid of how bad it’s going to be.
Absolutely true!
