4. Happy bittersweet Birthday Wounded Bear
Wed Nov 6, 2024, 06:53 AM
Nov 6

from wounded Barbara.

Today is my grandmother's 135th birthday. My granddaughter just got relegated to semi-permanent second class status. My friends of many stripes - immigrants, Black people, women, LGBTQ, more than half of the population actually - have been dealt a huge blow.

Somehow we need to stay in touch with each other and be continually reminded that we are not alone and we are not wrong. Though I suppose I will have to admit that I have been wrong all along, when I refused to believe that the majority of the American people would not do what they apparently just did.
