Thank you, Stanley, for always recognizing my work.

Gloria, thank you. Joe and Kamala served America and the world very well together. The lack of votes still baffles me. Could Musk and his satellites have messed with the data?

Yes. Musk has a system that can control the world.

He's conveniently tied in to D.C., Moscow, wherever Zelinskyy is as Putin and Trump do a 2 vs. 1 tag team assault to wrest what Putin took from Ukraine. Meanwhile, the news is that Biden has signed off on $6 billion, if memory serves, to Zelenskyy, signed off on over 200 federal judges, and tried to provision us legally and materially to succeed for awhile despite Trump.

We need to breathe, to hold our heads high, to resist, to join as community, and to take a multi-pronged approach to defeat Trump and Project 2025 at every possible intersection.

Your poem today shows much grace and what used to be defined not by male genitalia but by the words "grace under fire."

Be well.

Gloria, I’m glad you need the poem to make the critics of today’s meeting with Trump consider we aren’t playing a juvenile game. Biden was the adult in the room, and even Trump had to look like the adult. I hated it but we must go forth.

Kamala supporters won't act like the maga extremists did on January 6th, they won't desecrate capitol of our country, drumpf will desecrate enough on January 21st.

No, we don’t but we do need to grow a backbone.

How beautifully stated. We will be living this struggle an hour at a time. The magnitude of our worry and concern for all that will happen next can only be managed in small doses, but we will move on.

This is so encouraging. It is so beautiful and profound. I forwarded it to the White House addressed to POTUS AND VPOTUS. I wanted you to know. I don’t think I have ever done anything in my life like that before but the picture accompanying it let me to feel they needed you as much as I do. I hope you don’t mind. And, I hope they get to see it. If I have overstepped, I do sincerely apologize if I cause any distress.
