What is Happening in the United States?

Trump’s cruelty and last night’s aircraft collision have left me speechless

Y’all, I keep trying to write. I really do. I have a list of seven things you can to do to resist/revolt. It’s not fleshed out though. It’s literally just the items with no links or resources. I was going to work on it today. And then we had a heartbreaking, incomprehensible mid-air collision between a commercial flight and a Blackhawk military helicopter. Every single person perished. Every single person died.

I am horrified by what happened. I don’t know what to say. I know that I said extra prayers last night. I asked God, Allah, and every other deity I could think of to hold those families, and the first responders, close as they deal with this tragedy.

I know that the response to this by our president and the people supposedly representing him has been atrocious and lacking in empathy. I also know that my personal politics don’t matter right now. These victims’ families and the first responders who are seeing the accident firsthand will never be the same. Their lives are irreparably changed and my heart breaks for them.

Please, please, send kind, caring thoughts, or prayers if you’re so inclined, to these families today and in the days to come.
