I have kept this blog free of politics because I want a place we can come together, beyond social media and the news cycle. I am also a proud American who can no longer stand by. We need more than ‘thoughts and prayers.’ Surely it is time that we all stand together, regardless of personal politics, for the America we love.
Our shared cause is animal welfare. If they were shooting horses in the streets, we would protest it, and I can’t do less now. Please send prayers for our Barnie family in Minnesota. If you agree, also make the calls, protest, and do whatever you can to be heard.
Silence equals assent.
Offered with love,
Anna
The question should be-how stupid can we be? You said that you don’t get into politics, but it’s obvious that you are. Instead of standing with Law Enforcement, you are standing for those who create and maintain and inflict anarchy. Maybe you should stick with animal welfare
And people are mammals, as much as we try to deny it. I stand against bullies. I suspect we both love this country, founded on freedom of speech. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
Maybe you should stick with fascist blogs.
I think she will, but if she is here, she has horses. She is also one of us. I knew I would lose readers over this.
You will never lose me… I tell everyone about you. Have all of your books. I share your ideas and amazing stories all the time. I’m not a Barnie, but I have never erased one of your emails. They live in a special folder on my laptop. Thank you for using your platform to speak out. Ignorant people will never cease to exist. Unfortunately.
Thank you, Beth.
Amen to the original post, and amen to this comment. Yes, put horses or dogs in place of the humans being abused (even IF they kick or bite) and all of us would be outraged. Besides his comments about women and the disabled and brown people etc., and being convicted of crimes and being the most self-centered person imaginable, I NEVER trusted the current POTUS because he hates animals and has never owned a pet.
I love your writing. All of it.
well, you have not lost me. any person with common sense knows what you have said is true.
Thank you.
The name calling should stop if we want to have any hope of being united again. No one is all bad or all good. We all have both evil and good within us.
The subject is “How Callous Have We Become”. Not “In Support of Anarchists.” I could be wrong but I think a tipping point was reached yesterday. My take is that Anna wrote a short essay to acknowledge something similar to this thought. Personally I appreciate the humanity. “Surely it is time that we all stand together.” Hard agree that our shared values override division.
It was certainly my tipping point.
Janet have you seen the videos? I have heard from people in MN who are documenting exactly what’s going on. These ICE agents would be looking at a court martial if they behaved this way in the military. If you think, as a white woman, that you are safe from an authoritarian state you are sadly mistaken. Don’t mistake violating our Constitution for patriotism.
Why oh why are you even here? How many bodies does it take to actually open your eyes?
Law enforcement officials have uniforms, badges, and ARE NOT MASKED!
I suggest you read the Constitution.
Very well said! We can start by calling our Senators and urging them not to vote for the bill coming up for a vote this week that would give ICE more money without any oversight over their actions. We all need to stand for decency, basic humanity and the rule of law (actual law, not masked thugs gunning people down in the streets). Our very democracy is hanging by a thread and we cannot let online trolls frighten and silence us.
Amen, Lee
How interesting, Janet.
So why are local law enforcement – Minneapolis PD, Minnesota State Patrol, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension – siding with the protesters and not ICE or CBP? Do you think perhaps it’s because imbedded in their training is the knowledge that the U.S. Constitution guarantees to individuals their First Amendment right “to gather peacefully for protests, demonstrations, or other forms of collective expression without government interference”?
It’s also notable that we have a 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. The videos I have seen of Alex Pretti before he was killed show he was backing up from the Federal agents, his right hand “armed” with a cellphone and his left hand empty.
Many thanks, Anna, for posting this. To quote a famous line: Welcome back to the fight. This time I know our side will win!” For the horses.
Call your Senators this week: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?Class=1
Another AMEN, Lynell.
I think the time for silence has passed and concern for ruffling feathers is trivial in light of what is happening. I appreciate very much your keeping this safe space for lovers of animals, and us old gray ladies, to visit and share our stories, though. A safe harbor in the hurricane is so very much appreciated and we must not let our dear animals suffer from our anxiety. Thank you for reminding us all to exhale.
Thanks for reminding me to exhale, too, Jane
Yep. A thousand times over. Thanks, Anna.
May our voices rise.
❤️
yes, love.
You are so right…Silence is complicit. We can’t let that happen.
Amen.
Yes.
YES.
Thank you, Anna! I have loved your posts as a break from the horror into which my beloved country is descending — committing suicide, as someone put it — and I wish it were not necessary for you to speak out or for people across the US to face death for exercising their right to free speech and to protest the government. . . . But it is.
Judith, I am so afraid for all of us.
Thank you for adding your voice Anna. Very worried and sad Canadian here. We stand with our American brothers and sisters in this battle for Democracy. Losing is not an option. You’ve got this!!
You have always been the best neighbor. Thank you Jennifer
Many thanks, Jennifer. You may not have seen or heard this, but there have been protests, both big and small, all over the U.S. You should be proud of your Prime Minister, Mark Carney. We here in the States are…”pea green with envy!”
Truth!!
He is fantastic! Imagine – having a head of our country who is intelligent, bilingual, experienced, and a decent man.
Imagine!!
Thank you, Jennifer! My respect and admiration for our Northern neighbors has never been stronger. PM Carnet’s speech at Davos was remarkable! Perhaps one day we will again have a sane and decent and articulate leader as you have.
Minnesota is under siege.
If this is not about intimidating and punishing a blue state, then I ask you, why would our president send ICE agents to Minnesota rather than, say, Texas. We’re not even in the top 6 states with “significant populations” of illegal immigrants.
As of 2023–2024, the United States has an estimated 11 million or more undocumented immigrants, with the highest concentrations in California (approx. 2.25–2.6 million), Texas (approx. 1.6–2.1 million), and Florida (approx. 0.9–1.6 million). Other states with significant populations include New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.
Why? Because it isn’t about immigration. So sorry.
Right you are 👍
In MN today, ICE raids continue, but it looks to me like Trump and Noem are looking for a way out without losing face.
It will end.
They have lost control of the narrative. The entire world saw what was happening here. I have never been so proud of being a Minneapolitan.
And a horsewoman.
Anna, even before “all this” started, I had begun rereading Stable Relation for a second time. Just as good as the first time around!
I’m so proud of Minnesota, too. We know who turned it around. And thanks for re-reading. That book changed my life.
Do you not know about the the huge amount of fraud of tax money for fake programs, many run by immigrants funded with tax payer money? That was the red flag. It is BIG.
Janet have you seen the videos? I have heard from people in MN who are documenting exactly what’s going on. These ICE agents would be looking at a court martial if they behaved this way in the military. If you think, as a white woman, that you are safe from an authoritarian state you are sadly mistaken. Don’t mistake violating our Constitution for patriotism.
Cyndi,
As a public health nurse for a large potion of my career, I can say with confidence that the immigrants that I worked with did not have the means to commit fraud nor the desire. They were hard working and seeking the dream of a better life in our country. Please check your sources before you share your potentially slanderous comments.
I was referring to all those Somali immigrants with the fake day care (“Learing Centers”) and fake transportation companies to take all the non-existant children to the non-existant day care/”learing” centers…here in Oregon we had our government giving tax payer money to non-existant drug rehab programs-money was actually going to immigrant drug cartels …
I’m so sorry you have been manipulated by our administration into believing their lies. It is imperative that we all become critically informed with the truth. A good start for you would be to find a more neutral news source. We need to fight for our rights together.
Cyndi: Do you know that the MN attorney general and the FBI have been arresting and convicting those who defrauded the taxpayers for nearly two years already, with many people already serving time? It is in no way connected to the current supposed immigration raids. Unethical news sources need to tell the truth, not lie to people.
I live in MN and I know the facts.
Thank you. Our country is out of control! We are stronger together.
Always.
Thank you for speaking up. ❤️
No decent person could possibly be silent this week.
Thank you for doing the same.
stay home, stay safe, I do not want politics from any side in my limited life. I have enjoyed you from your very first book. Cheers to you, the herd and the pups, you will be missed, time to hit the unsubscribe button
Neither do I. So long, Friend. Take care.
Thank you for sharing and taking a stand.
What’s happening in our country is horrific. Doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but it’s up to each of us to do whatever we can to stop what’s wrong.
Agreed.
I think we need to not forget about all the fraud -so much of our hard earned tax money was being used in a huge fraud scheme. I am almost 66, have been retired 3 years and am now going back to work because I live in a (Democrat run) state that just keeps spending without care and then wants more. I have to go back to work so I can keep taking proper care of my horse herd of mostly seniors. I have also lived in in a Republican run state many years prior and it was much better run. Businesses have left this state in mass numbers and the economy is bad now here. We have lots of homeless people running around dazed on drugs or they are mentally ill. They flock here for the handouts and we are also a sanctuary state giving those handouts as well. So they have to take more tax money from us. The entire west coast is the same. Look at California too! I don’t know what it is like living in other Democrat run states because this is the only one I have experienced. Look up Oregon drug rehab program fraud-it is bad. So many failed policies here in this state. Property taxes have sky rocketed here also. We pay higher prices for gas too. As far as the recent ICE shooting- that man brought a GUN and multiple magazine rounds- what do you THINK his intent was???? Why do you want to protect illegal alien criminals? Why no compassion for those Americans who have been killed and have been victims of their criminal activity? The state I used to live in most of my life is a (Republican)border state so I feel I’ve lived both sides of the fence since I now live in a Democrat run sanctuary state. Wake up people. We HAVE to find a middle ground somehow and stop hating each other and find our way back to common sense.
Total agreement with your last sentence.
How do we find our way out of the “echo chambers”? The view points are so polarized and I can see from comments you have now lost some who don’t have the same view. So many are blinded and crazed by their anger. I worry that is what the intent is when I see government leaders whipping up even more anger and encouraging people to “resist”. That gets us nowhere except more divided and caused more violence. I saw a picture this AM of the gun the protestor brought- my husband knows guns and said the clip attached would have shot numerous rounds of bullets in an instant.
Minnesota is an open carry state. Since I’m making people unhappy today, I’m also for gun reform.
But sidestepping the intent of the protestor who brought his gun, capable of shooting numerous rounds, to a “peaceful?” protest. I am hoping and praying for immigration reform. Neither side of our government seems willing to do that and that is what is REALLY needed.
Thank you ❤️.
It is a sad day when the NRA is the adult in the room, but they have come out strongly against this murder, and stood up for Alex’s legal right to carry.
Sounds like more people are glad you said what you did. Thanks Anna, for your beautiful writing and for speaking out in defense of our Constitution.
This young man had a concealed carry permit – His gun was removed by ICE BEFORE he was shot & killed – making it a tad difficult for him to have “threatened” anyone. There are so many videos by the people who were there, showing what actually happened. Perhaps looking at one might
We are becoming more divided – have been for too long. And yes our “leaders” are certainly creating this violence.
Always through history the intent is divide and rule. Until the ordinary folk wake up to this strategy and refuse to comply, it will continue.
She made several valid points. Why do you only agree with the last statement? It sounds like she and I live in the same state, and compared to many, we are messed up. I don’t have the answers to our overwhelming crisis of division in our country. But I do know that it’s impossible to have an informed, rational opinion when we don’t have all the facts! Even what we see on the news, in videos, and are told, are controlled. There are wrongs being done every day on both sides. Bad choices have been, and continue to be made. It’s a chaotic time and people need to really choose who and what they’re fighting for, or against. Bottom line: have peaceful gatherings and let your opinions be known. Show up in a mask, with a loaded (or any form of) deadly weapon…you are making a very bad choice. You will be seen as a dangerous threat to law enforcement who have no choice but to be present. Like I said previously, I don’t have the answers. I am greatly saddened and confused by what I see happening in our country these days; and by what I don’t see or know. We see only what we are fed.
Because I don’t think tit-for-tat rebuttals help. I’d like both sides disarmed. Especially the ones killing Americans.
Lorie, why do you define a masked protester as a threat but not a masked federal agent. You can’t have it both ways. Kyle Rittenhouse was deemed a hero for openly carrying an assault rifle and killing three people at a protest, and he wasn’t stopped by authorities. When you define your position, apply it to everyone.
Thank you, Anna…from a Minnesotan.
We do not know who will be next on this administration’s list of who or what is to be eliminated.
Take care, Pat. I spent half my childhood there and Minnesotans take care of their neighbors… A lesson I won’t forget.
It seems like each side keeps telling people on the other side to wake up. I feel pretty woke to the fact that our current government is killing American citizens who were peacefully protesting said government. Like you said, Anna, if they were shooting horses or dogs in the street like that we would be heartbroken and outraged.
This situation is deep and complex, but I like to put living beings above anything else.
Thank you for your post, Anna.
So true.
You do know that many of the countries these immigrants are from treat animals in a very cruel way? I lived in Az many years and saw many of my immigrant neighbors treat their animals horribly- especially the horses. Also look up horse tripping, cock fighting and dog fighting- all a part of their “culture”. I could tell many stories of what I saw. Mexico also imports our unwanted horses to slaughter in a very cruel way.
I know that to be true. We do not want that kind of “culture” gaining a foothold in our country and our culture! So many sides and so many perspectives. It’s nearly impossible to be informed to really and truly KNOW how to respond and feel about this huge mess we’re in the middle of.
Unfortunately many bring that culture with them. I saw so much animal cruelty from them all those years I lived in Arizona. We had packs of unwanted dogs also roaming our rural area because that same “culture” just lets them breed and run wild. Many were hit by cars also.
Anna, I appreciate your understanding that we need to come together and are speaking to that! We need to come together as Americans who love our country and our neighbors. Continuing to allow this unbridled brutality to our fellow citizens is wrong and undermines all that we hold dear. We need to come together to stop this and reestablish our rights and values!
exactly
Thank you Anna for speaking truth. Yesterday after watching that murder from all angles I went and read the official DHS response and felt so gut-punched, angry and sad. None of us is safe. Today I saw Pretti giving the final salute to a deceased VA patient. What a caring man and what a loss to the medical community. – signed this family physician, former Major in the US Army Medical Corps
Thank you for your service, too.
Amen, again!
But WHY did he make the choice to bring the gun? A gun capable of firing numerous rounds of bullets in an instant? He was not in state of mind where he was making good decisions by doing that.
Perhaps because people like you have convinced many that we all need to be armed at all times, an idea I find idiotic, and have enabled laws that make it legal to carry a concealed, or even not concealed, weapon wherever one wants. My husband, a Marine combat veteran, is as offended by the total lack of responsible gun use by the thugs who have killed Renee Good and now Alex Pretti, shooting numerous rounds with civilians around. Do not tell me these people are acting in a way responsible law-enforcement — which they are not — would.
Judith,
Well said.
I don’t carry a gun and I shot a gun once in my entire life. I’m not comfortable with them but not against them either. Just want people to be responsible with them. Taking a gun to a protest is an irresponsible, probably even insane, choice. Your judgement of me was incorrect.
Actually we know he was legally permitted to conceal/carry. It doesn’t mean he intended to use it at a protest. My brother has conceal/carry. I live in very rural northern MN and I am sickened how this man is seen as the bad person. I love my state and we enjoy many good services that benefit Minnesotans, and fraud goes on in every government. Look at the executive government. Sorry Anna, I got too political….thank you for all you write, your thoughts are always appreciated in my opinion. I’ve learned so much from my horses, once I stopped chattering.
Thanks for reading, Melanie. So much victim blaming lately, yes.
Thank you, Anna, for your words. Silence is complicity.
yes.
YES!
If they were shooting horses in the street we would NOT BE JUST PEACEFULLY PROTESTING, we would probably be putting ourselves in front of the horse/dog and be killed trying to protect it. The USA needs to be under NEW management to stop it’s destruction before it’s TOO LATE. Regardless of your political preference the lawlessness needs to STOP! Protesting is great BUT VOTING is the only way we can change this dire situation, SO MY MESSAGE IS REGISTER TO VOTE AND VOTE!!
Agreed.
Thank you. Every voice of reason for humanity, or outrage, is important.
Yes, every voice.
Agreed!!
It was brave of you to put this post on your blog, and it moved me to contribute a little to your efforts to bring a little comfort and joy to the lives of some animals and some of us humans. I am simply appalled by what I see going on, and as only one vote and a person of adequate but not wealthy, “get a seat at the table” means, I feel helpless. We do need to find a way to return back to listening and actually hearing both sides, and understanding that in a compromise, nobody gets everything they want but at least most get something. I feel like right now the powers that be are just enjoying sewing chaos and division and that is the intent of those in office, whether elected or appointed.
Thank you, Martha. We have to ask who gains by all the chaos.
Agreed! We have to speak out to our representatives, safely protest and vote!
The constitution is written for times like this.
Amen, Anna. I agree. I may be a gray mare, but my whiny is still loud!
Thank you for a smile.
Thank you.
appreciated.
For those of us who love animals, we know that we would stand up against abuse. Now, we need to stand up against abuse against people. Any time the guy tries to take away our right, it’s time to make phone calls, write letters or attend marches and protests, and of course, vote. Demonstration are not “anarchy.” They are a way for us to stand up for our rights and the rights of others.
I love your writing about your animals and your life with them. I’m also happy that you chose to speak out about injustice.
If we do for one animal, we should for all. Thanks.
Bravo Anna! Nobody with a moral compass can afford to be silent. Silence makes us complicit with cruelty. For generations we have asked ourselves how ordinary Germans enabled Hitler’s atrocities. Sadly, we are learning how that happened.
Thank you Anna, you will never lose me as we are too much alike. And to Cyndi I would just say that EVERY state has its issues no matter what “color” it is. You can’t deny that. But these are not states they are people. People being killed by our federal government for protesting something they see as wrong. What have we become?
That is the question. Who are we?
Anna, your heroic gesture of sharing what needs to be said clearly has given us all a voice. Our constitution gives us this voice not as a weapon, but as a tool for ALL to seek freedom and justice. Thank you for your true heart and the courage to share. I feel privileged to be a part of this community and share the hope that “we the people” can reach an end to this current horror soon.
Thank you, my friend.
To those that say he was a radical leftist terrorist who came armed and planning to attack ICE agents (for which there is no evidence and which I do not believe) there arestill the facts that he never drew his gun, it was removed from his holster by an ICE agent, after which, while he was pinned to the ground by multiple agents, he was shot 10 times in the back. Is this ok with you? Armed federal agents executing someone who was unarmed and under control? No matter who he was or what he had done we used to be a country of due process, where law enforcement are not judge, jury and executioner.
Due process is absent.
The “they said, we said” is so hard to parse … especially when people are being killed. Watching the footage where the government troops were spraying demonstrator’s faces, forcing them to the ground, etc … was hard. I don’t buy that either of the shootings were justified. The first was shot from behind, the second was … extreme.
Heartbreaking, both.
You bet. Everybody can do something – find what works for you. If you’re not already, let’s get busy!
Thank you, Anna.
Yes.
I’ve been writing to Senators and Congressmen. We don’t need a gestapo in our country.
Amen. Thanks.
Thank you very much. You are so right.
thanks
I was thrilled to see this in my email! box! Yes, Anna! It isn’t a matter of politics. We are watching our country turn into an unrecognizable police state. Maybe the fact that our whiteness is no longer a shield against an authoritarian regime will wake us up. I’ve called our representative and senators previously, I’ve held signs on street corners and I will continue to do so. I will not be complicit with my silence. Thank you for doing the same.
amen.
Compassion and care to our U.S. friends from Canada. Please let peace and kindness prevail.
Thank you, neighbor.
Well, I also appreciate my Havens from politics and the ugly realities of life in America right now, I also agree that all of us who have a voice or a platform have an obligation to speak out, and we all need to be uniting in protecting the America that was a respected leader of the free world.
I agree. America lives.
This is past politics. It is about our morality and humanity. We need to speak out, be very loud, and show kindness to others. Thank you Anna!
That is so true. Past that.
Silence does NOT equal assent. So incredibly sick of every aspect of life becoming political. So sick of people with platforms making statements like that.
Offered with love.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Sincerely.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for this post.
I am horrified at the violence and the blatant lies being told about what happened.
I am making my voice heard with letters and emails.
Good.
Dear Anna,
I love your posts and share them with my animal loving friends. Your humor and objectivity on inter-species interactions is wonderful. I am an expat of 42 years, living in Australia. We have our own social struggles to contend with here but nothing like what is happening in your part of the world. As a child of the sixties and having lived through the tumultuous times of the civil rights era & movement in South Central Los Angeles , I am deeply saddened to see what is happening at present. Looking at it from an anthropological perspective (which doesn’t take emotion into the equation) America is still a very young country and historically has spent more time in conflict than not. Just like most countries across the globe. We come from violent beginnings and I fear it is our very nature a that will be our undoing. Humans have the capacity for great compassion and growth but also the same capacity for hideousness. Only the individual can decide through their actions which way they choose to live. Peaceful protest, conversation’s that do not point the finger of blame but rather look for constructive solutions to the myriad of issues that surround us, will always be my go to. If by some mishap I am killed by a zealot because I choose not to share their beliefs… that is my lot. Life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness… we all need to be able to share these sentiments without oppressing others with our needs.
I certainly will not stop reading your blogs because you expressed an opinion. “I didn’t know” and “I was only following orders” can no longer be an excuse to remain silent in these most troubling of times.
Sending love & compassion to every suffering soul on our pale blue dot.
Regard
Corinne
Wonderful comment.
100%!
My family has been marching in protests here in Colorado this past year. Myself, my two teenage kids and my husband (I would take my horse but she would hate it). Its something I never thought we would be doing but we can’t sit in silence. I know its difficult for people with platforms to voice their outrage but we all have to fight the fear right now and do something – whatever that looks like. The government is literally killing us in the streets. We can’t ignore that. I’ve been reading your blog for years and would be lost without the weekly post!
Thank you, Stacey. Thanks for taking the kids especially.
Well put thank you
Thanks.
Yes, if we ignore or support what is going on, we will have to live with the consequences. This is not what our country stands for. Thank you for taking a stand.
Agreed.
Perhaps one of the most important things all of us can do in this era of misinformation is to check the sources of the information we’re responding to. Fact-checking is critically important and there are many ways to do this. I believe some information is deliberately put out there to mislead us, and worse, cause dissention. This fact-checking requires us to quell whatever emotion we’re feeling. Much like approaching our horses after an emotionally grueling day, we need to calmly approach that task. Most important to me during this time of turmoil is to keep an inner calm that hopefully we can extend outwardly.
Wise advice.
Yes.
Well said!
Thanks.
Totally agree
Yes.
Absolutely! This has to stop now!
amen
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was their final, most essential command. – George Orwell, 1984
And yet we persist.
Thank you Anna, we can not be silent to what is happening in America. The current government wants us to feel helpless.
and to be afraid.
Bravo Anna!
Us old grey mares who have finally found our voice, are obligated to use it.
I had a dear friend years ago who grew up in Nazi Germany, and the stories she told are what I’ve been watching evolve around the globe for years.
We as humans have more in common than not- all depending on where our focus lies- or is directed!
Totally. but we are slow learners.
Leading by fear and intimidation traumatizes nervous systems whether you’re a horse, a child or the adult a traumatized child grew into (speaking from experience). Using a city-wide dragnet for everyone of a certain color in the hopes of capturing the ones with a criminal record, is no different from using a helicopter to scare an entire herd of horses in order to capture just the blue roans. To expect no foals or other horses or even the blue roans won’t be harmed or killed in the process makes the strategy preposterous.
That’s nervous system psychology, not politics.
Sure it isn’t the politics of domination? Maybe I have an extreme definition…
If there were a like button, Michelle, I would definitely hit it! Great comment.
Of course, that applies across the “board”!
Thanks…and yes, across the board…I’m truly wondering how many politicians got bullied and intimidated in chilhood then began torturing animals to gain a sense of control and power. Psychopathic personality disorder. I don’t know how else to explain it.
I dont think there is a clear explanation for it. It’s clearly covering both humans and animals these days. The current roundups – “emergency” roundups – are as destructive as ever.
Thank you for speaking out. I’m a long-time follower, and noticed that your emails weren’t being delivered to my inbox anymore, so I went to check and sure enough you were still writing, so I read backwards till I got to this one. I’m an equine bodyworker and have lost many clients in my scarlet-red area of a blue state because I have been speaking up. I can’t remain silent anymore. The person who wrote that silence is not “assent” is wrong, because even if a person doesn’t not agree with what’s happening, staying silent allows it to happen, it nods a “yes” to those who are doing it. And we all know what happened in Nazi Germany.
Historically, if 3.5% of the population stands up to authoritarianism, it cannot grow. I think we are getting close to that number. I pray to the energy of the universe, to God, to whatever is out there that might change the course of this country that people will wake up and stand up. Thank you for your words. Those who disagree are one the wrong side of history, and their children and grandchildren are likely to judge them harshly. At this point, no one can say, “I didn’t know.”
Thank you for commenting, Shannon. I believe change is close, too. I believe we will find our way back together.
