I was in LA for work in June during the first troop deployment EVER in our country executed BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT.....my heart was breaking.
For those of you concerned about America's future, listen to this. I am in downtown LA at a conference for work, trying to catch up on some email before bed.....and I believe the senseless destruction of our democracy has really begun. I am on the 18th floor, hearing constant sirens, explosions (gunshots), and hearing what sounds like chaos in the street. Helicopters fly overhead, and as my granddaughter is asleep in her bed, I cannot focus on the task at hand. I cannot believe that our republic is in this state. I do not believe my loved ones--both alive and already departed, fought in several wars, battling dictators, and war criminals--would believe this is happening before my very eyes.
As I sit here with tears in those eyes, I am terrified that a "wanna be dictator/king" has, with full support of his republican boot lickers and the spineless cabinet stooges, brought us to this state. To quote your leader (not mine) "We need to return rights to the states, and have less federal control over state affairs." I call bullshit as is evidenced outside of this beautiful hotel. I never thought my ability to explore a new city would be controlled by a curfew.
So my last words are, if you dislike what I have written, please remove me from your friends list as I can no longer feel we are friends when you support the "Cheeto in Charge" and what wrath he has chosen to inflict on our country. (Posted on Facebook/Instagram on 6/10/25)
