All we can do now is remember this moment. To let the democratic process do a course correction. In the next election, if there is true justice, these traitors will finally find the exile they deserve.
If Only….
But we don’t have that, because we elected the worst possible person to handle this or any other crisis, Donald Trump.
Statues Are Not People and Not History
Yeah, I do not mourn the statues coming down – even if some of the ones removed have questionable historical context. But statues are not teaching us any history. They do not speak to us in the present. They are a frozen moment in time.
