Deliver me from the workers of iniquity...

Life is becoming scarier! If Trump/Musk continue to win their way, we will all be subject to willful, unlawful degradation and ruin at the hands of people we can't know who don't want or care about us.

They are on their way to ending our laws. and trashing our representatives, our public and private organizations, and our allegiances. They are now 'buying' our country with the help of men who either don't believe in the Declaration of Independence OR won't respect the U.S. Constitution; moneyed men and corporations are giving up their wealth and their loyalty to democracy for spurious safety from the whims of ruthless men. And we will be left with no power and no worthy or competent help in maintaining our health, our wealth, or our sovereignty. We are losing our beliefs, our behaviors, and our bravery for which the world has recognized and and praised us.

With no wealth, no independent path to work or reward, we will be vulnerable to vicious and venal men. National legislation will be useless to us, the courts will not hear us. the law will not protect us. And the wealthy and lecherous will take ownership of anything they wish. We will be fortunate amid our fellows to be serfs in our own country. We have been clumsily pulling and pushing communities of people to raise their voices against the gangs of small men with large appetites for power and riches. We should not now let those same gangs convince and use fatigue in, or retreat from, the battle for more good and better life.
