I would have driven the two hours to be in that room but reading your review made me feel as if I was there.

Kudos! Here and now we are in the good fight. We should be getting into all kinds of good trouble right now. I refuse to dishonor my ancestors by muting my voice or backing down!

We must walk that walk & find our way back.. yet, again. As individuals, as Americans & as a renewed Democracy so that THIS cowardice & delusions of a whyte only anything cannot ever be re-rooted. If anything, whyte supremacy & Project 2025 have shown me the INFERIORITY of it all. The delusions, false narratives, myths & lies of "palm-colored" pale-faces who have wished us harm & extinction for over 400+ years.. and yet, HERE we R. HERE we EXIST.. and many times THRIVE. 🎊 Making this Country we have built America, stronger & supremely more creative than their Amerikkka. THAT alone gives me hope & when I saw all the whyte Grandchildren of those mentally ill racists marching with the Grandchildren of Native & Africans descendents trying to build more of America for us all.. none who were there wanted to add to the ugliness that Amerikkka is. Hopefully, Amerikkka can now die as she must, so that America can champion the tapestry of diversity & colors we R in truth. We heal by connecting, by caring for one another despite the heartless & misinformed. Whyteness is a myth, a mental disease of a certain group who R dead inside, rotting away. Humanity is how God made us.. a Garden of Growth & Incredible Diversity.. like my tiny island, Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 Thank You, God. Gracías à Díos. 💗

Excellent! We all need to cling to the hope we can turn this around.

I plan to protest every weekend for as long as it's necessary.

I agree with the importance of engagement as a step to understanding divisions. I also concur the importance of speaking truth to power. Well said and written

We didn’t just elect Trump—we cast him. This is what happens when a country trades facts for feelings, leaders for performers, and shame for applause. America didn’t lose its way. It followed the script.

I would appreciate your thoughts on the piece.
