[No mas muertes is a group based in Tucson providing humanitarian aid to those attempting border crossings from Mexico; many people perish from thirst, hunger and exposure].

I’ve posted before about the disintegration of core American values, and yesterday was another huge reminder of how far we’ve come from the ideals that once united us and gave some glimmer of hope that we might one day live up to the songs we like to sing about ourselves and the democracy we imagine to be so great. We’ll see if the next two years of democratic majority can fulfill on walking back the systemic intolerance and insidious conservatism that’s been strangling our country and keeping our system from being anything close to the ‘land of the free and home of the brave’.
⠀⠀
Patriotism is not what the world saw happening yesterday in DC; rather it is the efforts of regular folks like you and me standing up for the rights protected by our constitution and fighting to see them enjoyed by all who call this this country home. However we can. 🇺🇸
⠀⠀
Personally I’m not ready to give far right extremists or the terrorists who enact their vision of a toxic, small-minded, fascist America the satisfaction or the power to deny me my love for the US, or my claim as a patriot. I will not let the shameful acts or beliefs of a deluded, ignorant minority faction shame ME into denying or disavowing my patriotism and Americanism. And I hope you can all find it in your hearts to remember, cling to, and fight for what you love most about this country as well.
