I resist with you. Silence can be misconstrued as agreement. And I thank you for taking us a risk with us to speak your truth.

Hearing that a friend, in every other way an intelligent and deeply caring woman, voted for your current president horrified me beyond belief. The current direction America appears to be moving is quite terrifying to an outsider. Please keep sharing your articulate thoughts.

Thank you Lyric for acting, for being the change, and encouraging others to be part of that change as well.

We are sisters in spirit. I too resist in my own way and hope to always do so in a respectful and kind way that continues to show light and love. People may disagree for a variety of reasons and if we can all do so respectfully it makes all the difference. Blessings.

We are all in this together.

ALL FORMS. Silent. Vocal. Humorous. Angry. Safe. Violent. Nurturing. Lethal. Singularly. Masses. Apathy is the downfall of resistance. And resistance can be bludgeoned brutally. We Americans have experienced an extended period of relative calm and that has allowed us to go to sleep. Much violence at home- citizen on citizen violence- police on citizen violence- but wars were happening- over there. Even when they were our wars with our citizens fighting. But now- the civil war against our daily life is on our doorstep. If it happens it will have been because we let it happen. BY BEING TOO DAMN NICE. And thinking everyone else would be too. The negative downside of political correctness. Being a gay male has meant I’ve been fighting for 5 decades. And frankly- I’m sick of it. Nice to see white-bread America (no offense Lyric) finally Acting Up. Being forced to Act Up. Before it’s too late for all of us.

We need to encourage kindness and empathy for all people. Thank you for opening your heart and making mind and eloquently expressing what I am thinking.

I’m only a 2nd generation American. My grandparents all immigrated here from Eastern Europe, traveling the vast Atlantic in steerage to find a better life for themselves and future generations. They worked hard and made sure their children had a strong moral foundation. I am forever grateful to them. Thank you for your message of hope.
