This is my response to Stephanie Raffelock's post today "We are all Good." I recoment you read it.
How right you are, Stephanie. Nicole Renee Good should be remembered as a martyr for all of us. May she be the catalyst for action.
"Sexism is broader prejudice/discrimination based on gender roles and beliefs in male superiority, while misogyny is a deeper, specific hatred, contempt, or ingrained dislike of women, often manifesting as hostility toward women who challenge patriarchal norms."
May we remember the men who understand that sexism and misogony are signs of weak men who live as bullies. May we shame the bullies and stand up to them and remember they are flawed little boys who were not loved. We cannot remain silent. Turn grief into the anger needed to save "america."
The Court system in MN should be the only judge and jury. A very, very sad happening. And not to downplay her death, there have been many sad happenings. Lastly, my dear forever friend " who am I to Judge"?
You are correct. A judge should decide. That's the way the system is supposed to work. It will take months of investigation to determine what exactly happened.
America has been asleep for a long time. I started saying that well before I retired in 2012. We seem to forget we live in the bigger world and it is watching us.
I read your entire poem and quoted your words that emphasize how I feel. I hope other readers will read your entire post. You have a beautiful way with words.
I hope my words foster discernment to make informed choices, not to judge or dictate. We used to teach critical thinking in school and guide learners to come to their own conclusions. Your poetry holds that power.
You’ve been sounding the alarm that history is repeating itself, and it is becoming clearer with each passing day. Thank you for providing all of the resources and keeping us informed. You are doing your part in countering the lies and propaganda.

Resistance to the murderous, criminal, GOP is our duty.
Thank you, we can't afford to keep silent.
Thank you for this and for income. I am happy to be part of this Village. 🌹
Welcome to the village!
Oh Judiff,
The Court system in MN should be the only judge and jury. A very, very sad happening. And not to downplay her death, there have been many sad happenings. Lastly, my dear forever friend " who am I to Judge"?

May we wake up soon...
History on repeat loop?
May we “stay engaged.”
...
Thanks for echo, quote...
May village grow food for thought.
For conscious action.
America has been asleep for a long time. I started saying that well before I retired in 2012. We seem to forget we live in the bigger world and it is watching us.
USA, country.
America, continent.
Time to right-size us?
...
May we stay focused,
on what works for greater good.
The world is watching.

Words may hold power
to harm, hurt, and to help, heal.
Intention? Impact?
