#SaturdayThoughts Does it bother you that the President was willing to hold up money that Congress has appropriated for Ukraine defense so he could try to get dirt on his political opponent? Too abstract? Well then, does it bother you that his administration is in court to void the #ACA so that there’s no protection from insurance companies charging you more money for pre-existing conditions? Still too abstract?

I strongly reject the notion that USA is a white nation. At the Mescalero July 4th parade honoring All Native Women, I saw this float. Notice the message. Traditions live through care and understanding of cultural values. Respect is what we must seek. If the Europeans who invaded America had respected and valued the cultures they found here when they came, there would not have been the genocide of the indigenous peoples.
