I have been at wit's end today. It's like our country, its values, its democratic principles have been shredded, and what's worse, it has been allowed to happen. My heart breaks.

Also the child of a refugee and immigrant.

my mom was a German refugee and I am a German immigrant

He was in a German forced labor camp till the end of the war in the European theater, then went to a DP camp in Germany till he came over to the US. I and my two closest in age siblings were born before he got his US citizenship. I remember mail sent to him from the government addressed to “Alien”.

All of the current events are bringing up cellular memory for me and I’m not having an easy time of it.

I still have my alien registration card

Also, great user name!!

I have little hope it will ever end, much less any time soon.

against this sick immoral regime.

this is so out of control and I feel helpless to stop it.. I'm bitching about gas prices and all prices, but shit, nobody's bombing my city.. endless tears..

Thank you for your eloquent post.

They are completely amoral.

Now it is on a (wait for it), a Two Week Delay!

For now.

Until he's laid to rest.

IN A TAN SUIT.

And in an unmanicured part of the cemetery, where the grass can grow unmowed.

I'm glad to see he is TACO'ing, and I expected that would be the case, but it still feels like we are on a precipice. Anything could happen anytime.

The only consolation is that this one last statement about ending their civilization, has really shaken the world, and there is the littlest chance that a groundswell will get him out of office.

This is not a game. Playing with real lives is no game. I am disgusted and ashamed to call myself an American.

thank you for this, it is very powerful in it's own right.

my mum survived bombs as a child during WWII and that sense of fear never left her

I detest repukes acting like war is some kind of fucking game, shame on them ALL for pimping for that unhinged nutcase.

It has been and continues to be an emotional rollercoaster.

All who are born on this earth are equally deserving of the resources she has to offer. No one person deserves any more than any other. This consciousness needs to become the reality for all inhabitants of Earth.

The drive to take it all is a disease.
