Tear gas, rubber bullets, martial law, curfews, civil unrest, racism, police brutality–exactly HOW many planets are in retrograde now?? ‘cos something’s going on and it’s beyond the plot of any science fiction story. We’re living in a neverending episode of the Twilight Zone.
Add to that list, Ebola, earthquakes, a possible supervolcano in Yellowstone, the pandemic, record unemployment, food lines…WTF.
What I find to be quite troublesome is the way #blacklivesmatter and the ensuing outrage about yet another senseless murder is the number of people in my little SoCal beach town that are right wing racists who hide behind their so-called “christian” facade. It’s absolutely DISGUSTING and there’s always just the tiniest little hint of anti-Semitism in their rants and comments. That orange puppet really brought out true colors in people, didnt he? The mask has slipped. It’s ugly and depressing, and I’ve lived here for 35 years.
This is a fun little graphic:

I haven’t yet attended a march or a gathering, but I probably will. We need to do something, stand up, show up, become part of what’s happening and not allow hatred to continue.
We are not the enemy.

If only the people in power weren’t deaf, dumb and blind to the emotions of the people, who are hurting, sad and scared. What is so complicated about that? I am so angry at the way our president is escalating things. I agree with you that this is so surreal. And I agree with that line — We are not the enemy. That should be on all the signs. #BlackLivesMatter and “We are not the Enemy.”

I don’t think they are deaf, I think that respecting all people (and that includes womens rights) is not on their agenda. He’s not my prez but I know who you are referring to. I believe he was elected to do exactly THIS. Yes, we are not the enemy but we know who IS.

I didn’t vote for him, I’m not in his base, and no doubt he would view me as less than a speck of dust. This is too violent a swing back of the pendulum that Obama sent the other way.
