I wish you could see me standing and applauding, MK. This needs to be shared far and wide. Thank you for using your powerful voice to say out loud what too many people are thinking. ✌️ ❤️ 🐧
I’ve been watching this for a little while and spoke up on Facebook yesterday.
I didn’t question the politics, I questioned the process and the humanity.
I questioned what this looks like and where it could lead if it continues.
I was told I can’t have an opinion as I don’t live in America.
I was told I had no compassion for the victims of crime.
I was told I should be shipped off with the criminals.
I was told sharing this was like being a rapist because people don’t want to know.
I was told they hoped when the prisoners got out that they came to rape and torture me.
Was I surprised?
Sadly not.
This is what can happen when people are heavily conditioned, extremely fearful and can’t clearly see a way to say this part of what is happening is wrong without having to say it’s all wrong.
It’s polarity, misinformation, division and hate.
So much hate for asking questions.
Sadly that often happens to those who speak up but that shouldn’t stop us from speaking up.
Because history tells many stories of what happens when people don’t speak and I believe we are watching a piece of history that will speak well into the future.
I’m with you!! EVERY SINGLE word of it. It is beyond exhausting and just so sad and it’s like living in a constant nightmare. Yes it’s time to be angry and fight! And I’m doing what I can but I never dreamed we’d be living in such horrible evil times and the President of the USA be the ring leader and then those just like him.
The silence has been clear. American imperialism won. We are witnessing the annihilation of Palestine at the hands of two American presidents and a fascist Apartheid state. Americans are entrenched in white Supremacy and Islamophobia,so much so that their selfishness was the downfall of international law and human rights.
Organized religion will be the downfall of humankind
MK, thank you for this one. As a naturalized US citizen I am deeply concerned and worried. In fact, I do not plan to travel anywhere (domestically or internationally) for now. I am no longer feeling safe in this country and I pass (white). I do not factor religion into this. It has no place in government.
Thank you. A third of this nation has lost its mind. 40% is sleepwalking. A third are outraged. My poor adrenal gland is maxed out. I'm looking forward to today's demonstrations across the country. I need to see my friends and patriotic Americans out there protesting the destruction of our country's principles and substituting grift, corruption, authoritarianism, self-dealing, and stupidity in their place.
Hey MK, I read as much of your writing as I can, I am angry also. But I do know one thing is for absolute truth, I know that each of these things shall come to pass, because when all that is written in the Bible comes to pass, my Lord an Saviour will be splitting that Eastern Sky riding a horse wearing His robe that says King of Kings an Lord of Lords an He will take me home to be with Him to live in Heaven for all of Eternity! That is what makes me excited an I can't wait! Thank you for speaking the truth and thank you for letting everyone know it's alright to be angry with our government because I know I am too! Thank you again MK
Thank you. I’m so tired of sleeping restlessly, waking up in the middle of the night worrying, waking up in the morning and checking my phone terrified of what might have happened in the middle of the night, my pulse racing every time I get a “breaking news” update throughout the day. This is not normal, and it has only been a couple of months of this. It’s exhausting.
It is exhausting, and it will get worse before it gets better. So much worse. There will be terrible news every day and every hour. Guard your peace. Rest. And come back renewed for the fight of our lifetime.
On one of the substacks, a person said he has been to Russia several times over the years. Each time, when he went through customs, the person would tell him, "Welcome home." He said that gave him such comfort, knowing that yes, he was now on American soil. He was indeed home. He no longer feels that comfort when he comes back from foreign lands today because of what has taken hold of America. This is sad! We are now the bad guys.
You did hear his rap sheet didn’t you? Wife beater with domestic violence charges, etc. His wife is terrified of him according to her own statement! You should be afraid if you are here illegally! Come into this country the right, lawful way! You’ll be welcomed!! The majority of people in this country are tired of all of this nonsense the Dems acted on! Thats why we elected Trump! Common sense!! Things are going to get worse before they get better. Men in women’s sports and locker rooms with young women. Does that make sense to you? Abortion on demand…does that make sense to you? God hates the shedding of innocent blood. “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you”…I don’t have a problem with homosexuals or transgenders. If they want to live that way, that’s none of my business…but, Romans 1:24-32! I’m not the judge, God is! He says what the judgement will be for them and for those who call wrong as right. Be warned people! Whether you believe it or not, doesn’t make it any less true.
Your orange savior used to deliberately and suddenly burst into dressing rooms where young women were changing clothes. But that’s okay, right? Pathetic!
Did you ever think you’d see Republican voters support a candidate who was openly subservient to Russia? Did you ever think you’d see them support a flagrant, serial adulterer and drug user? A denigrator of the military? A draft dodger? A New Yorker?
In 2014 Republicans raged at President Obama for supposedly not working hard enough to stop the Ebola epidemic. Six years later they followed Trump’s lead and physically threatened people working to stop an epidemic.
Nothing will shake them.
Well, almost nothing.
There is one thing, one thing Donald Trump could do to lose significant support. And no, it is not making his supporters “feel the pain.” It is not making them poor. These are people who are openly welcoming an imminent recession.
No, the one and only thing Donald Trump could do to tank his approval rating would be to stand in front of a camera and say, “Black and Latino people are as fully human as any white man or woman. They are possessed of the same inalienable rights, and deserving of the full enjoyment of those rights and the opportunities they promise, opportunities they have for too long been denied.”
Now THAT would be a deal breaker. (Peter Birkenhead)
Please re-read the above that I posted. We are living in the here and now. But this time, read slowly so you will understand. And, BTW, I do not like your god. I prefer the teaching of Jesus. You may want to read about him sometime in the Bible. He will change you for the better. He will show you how to love your neighbors. He will show you how to feed and help the hungry. He will show you that he loves all of his creations. And he asks you to love others as you would yourself. Let that sink in. You will certainly be a happier person.
As well as reading HCR and the many others here on Substack, get on You Tube and follow this ping woman. She is channeling her anger into being active. As she says, there are more of us together than of them; but the operative word is “together”. Defeatism is not an option especially now.

“They are making you tired on purpose.” Oof.
Our country is truly in trouble.
We no longer seem to have a government "by the people, for the people."
We all need to wise up and rise up.

Amazing words. Let’s also not forget Andy Hernandez Romero and the other folks sent to that pit of inhumanity.

Yes it is very exhausting! But we can’t give up!

Very well written. I am right there with you. I shared your article and talked about how it feels like our democracy is dying, but we are not going to give up and have to join together to fight for our lives. https://open.substack.com/pub/awakened2love/p/fighting-for-our-lives?r=1i8pk7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
