Happy Independence Day - Americans!
This is not your Independence Day of the GOP! This is the Independence Day of the free women and men who will take back the power that the MAGA crazies have been usurping. We the people! Not the brain-washed zombies who follow whatever the big business CEO's want.
I'm going to take part in a webinar this afternoon by Starhawk, one of the founders who teach about permaculture and other things. I like ritual and the idea of Starhawk addressing our anger sounds good.
The ritual will help me transform my rage into action! That's my goal at least! Not violence!
And a lot of women and men are aching to do just this thing. I hope many of my friends will also watch this zoom ritual.
Then there will be a lot of my friends downtown watching the local fireworks. I'll keep my windows closed so I can hear them as low as possible.
Rage into action sounds like a good plan.
ReplyDeleteIt would be if I could just figure out what I want to do! Take some action which I'm capable of doing. (Nothing physical thank you, nor putting myself out in public. I'll keep thinking!)
DeleteHappy 4th of July! Take care and enjoy your day, have a great new week!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, hope you also have a happy Independence Day!
Delete...this is not a festive day!
ReplyDeleteI understand. But I am moving into trying to change things.
DeleteWhat John Lewis called Good Trouble!
ReplyDeleteI like that way of getting into action!
DeleteI don’t know what to wish Americans today.
ReplyDeleteWe need to remember that we can stand up for what is right and each person's freedoms...just like the founding fathers did. Not like the MAGA deluded folks want.
DeleteI like your positive approach!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to do something...as soon as I figure out what it is!
DeleteI like your attitude, and I would like to find that within myself. Rage into action is a good beginning.
ReplyDeleteThanks...I got a lot out of the ritual today, including some great movements with hands and arms from those who use sign language.
DeleteIt's been awful on both sides of the border. Good for you for doing something.

I know, there is some point sometime in the future where people will again come together in the surety of truth and act for that truth.
DeleteI think that sounds like a very positive thing to do today. Many old people like me are just going to sit at home and dream about the country we once had. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed doing some dreaming also...and even thought how my ancestors decided to fight or move west...they had so much courage to take those risks and build their own dreams. I want to prove worthy of them by living my life for the truths I believe and trying to find a ground of meeting with those who are currently deluded by lies.
DeleteHi Barbara, Glad to hear that you're taking positive action in order to channel your negative feelings about the ongoing negativity and issues facing the USA. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteI'm talking the talk...but so far haven't figured out how I want to walk the walk. I want to find the way to confront the lies of the deluded people around me...and help them understand what is true rather than the silly promises of the Tea Party.
DeleteI believe the United States will find its way back to its sense of self. It's going to take time.
