A quote for dark times:

[Dulcinea]

“We used to say that ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part. And if we believe in the change we seek, then it is easy to commit to doing all we can, because the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and a more peaceful world.” --Congressman John Lewis, 1940-2020

I, for one, won't give up. It angers me to no end that my daughters have fewer rights today than I did when I was their age.

My older daughter is 23 today. My younger one will be 21 on the 19th. They're worth fighting for.

Thank you for bringing John Lewis's message to us today.

8. No matter what kind of wins and progress you make on many issues, like social justice, the environment, equality,

some people are always going to come along and try to change them back. So, the only way to win is to keep fighting.

And teach your children well.

The late Rep. John Lewis nailed it then, and his words STILL do so now. Sure feels like we’re in the midst of “the struggle for a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes.”
