Words float up from the bottom of the well of my consciousness...
Vigilance. Resistance. Opposition. Protest.
And also...
Truth. Facts. Data.
As my father used to say, "No one promised you a rose garden."
So. Right. We need to grow and cultivate our own roses. Tend to our own gardens.
Be aware. Awake. Hold people accountable for their words and actions. It is not just the Lying Strongman, but his henchmen, his followers, his enablers, his toadies, his lackeys, his boot-lickers, who must be held accountable for all they do and do not do.
Be on guard. On the watch. Always.
