So well said. On a psychological, even spiritual and mythic level, it seems that what's happening is these are the birth pangs of some kind of new world emerging. A lot of what you touch on seems to be perpetrated by those who want to hang on to a world in which they have had the balance of power in their favor and are willing to pull out any stops to keep it. These reactionaries, in turn, are causing huge backlash. Hamas/Israel is the latest international example. What's going on in the House of Representatives is the national example. And then, there's the Trump family and the SC corruption. What they don't want to see is that the world as they have been able to run it is passing away whether or not they like it. Sadly, this upheaval is going to continue until the Trumps, and the Jim Jordans, the MTG's and Boeberts, and the Netanhayus, the QANONs and White Supremacists, the misinterpreters of the Second Amendment, etc. no longer have the power to control they feel is their entitlement.

You have created a safe place here at Steady, where differing opinions are communicated thoughtfully and respectfully. One can learn, share thoughts, feel like a community. More of this is what we need. So thank you to everyone on Steady that has helped to build this community. There's just too much mistruth, misinformation and misjustice in the world today. We need solidarity.
