Yes, so true and beautifully written and said. I think to sum it all up in one word is exploitation or extraction. None of which is sustainable for a just society for all. Thanks again Steven your writings are so appropriate and appreciated. Writing can be and is also a form of resistance. #MDDOS my daily dose of sanity

There is a lot wrong with this country, and you covered the highlights of this mess. What we will never be able to fix, is the lack of basic human decency in the Republican party and their cult. There is no getting them back, and I for one, don't want them back. What I am increasingly sick of is the lack of consequences being paid by any of them. Yes, the unvaccinated are dying. I don't necessarily find joy in that, but, I don't feel any sympathy for them either. They have been irresponsible from the start of this and I'm sick of suffering the consequences of their ignorance.

As far as January 6th goes, I would like to think there are things going on behind the scenes at the DOJ, but, as you said, letting the public know, on a regular basis, that they are still heavily on the case, would be reassuring to us and maybe be a deterrent to any would be insurrectionists, going forward.

On the last subject, I just can't with Manchin and Sinema anymore. I am disgusted by them and their self centered, media whore bullshit. We the people didn't work our asses of to get Democrats elected, just to have them, once again, squander the opportunity. I'm sick of their spinelessness, their caving to and trying to negotiate with the GOP, which at this point, is the same as trying to negotiate with terrorists. I'm sick of the media and their lack of perspective in their reporting on any subject. I think their motivation is, they don't want to be seen as "liberal", so what they do when Republicans are in charge, is let a lot of things slide, and when Democrats are in charge, they go the opposite direction.

I have very little hope left for this country. We are destroying ourselves from the inside, and apparently, we have no policy for dealing with domestic terrorists. All of this is heartbreaking and I have no idea where to go from here.
