Happy Constitution Day. Sept 17, 1787 estb. Defend it with all you've got so that we can celebrate it again next year.

We, the people.., in order to: A form a more perfect union B establish justice C insure domestic tranquility D provide for the common defense E promote the general welfare and F secure the blessings of liberty To ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the USA.

Spring. Rebirth. New life. Renewal. The American people are increasingly aware of the reality of our new fascist regime and are strategizing, protesting, and resisting. We will fight together for a better future. Hope.

Today is Black Saturday - a day of grief, loss, despair, anger, uncertainty. I believe we are in a Black Saturday in the American experience. I am giving myself permission to face these feelings because they are a valid response to our current reality. This is me- thinking out loud.
