Those quotes are like little daggers to the heart, Manuel.

Probably needless to say, Lorraine, I was much affected by the "daggers". They gave impetus to my post. Thanks for your support.

Long an admirer of the strength of Simone Weil, thanks for introducing me to other heroes.

Much as the daggers are painful, they are reminders that what you are doing matters, enough to upset those who think differently. Stay strong.

Thank you, Dawn. We all need to stay resilient and speak truth to power.

Thank you for those heroic snapshots. These are the people I admire. Your acquaintance leaves me sickened. I have friends/relatives who certainly want trump out yet they still say to me “You read too much. Just don’t follow it and you will be happier.” Really????

And one person actually said that thing to me about as long as his personal wealth wasn’t touched, he’s okay with the WH. Now that was maybe last year around this time. I wonder if he’s changed his mind. Thanks, Manuel, for your thoughtful post.

Thank you for your support, Gracie. Together we will drive the filth into the dumpster that awaits it.

Indolence lays low,

swallows lies, complicit, lies

deep within us all.
