Which is why so important to educate and learn about what we can do to help and why I organized this “ Issues Facing Democracy: Immigration “ event at my library https://norwellpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/issues-facing-our-democracy-immigration-part-1/

It is not a tad disturbing, it is hugely disturbing and terrifying and f*$#ing awful. I don't know if were will be able to stop him before the next interim election when he will likely be presiding over at least one house of congress no longer maga. It is at that time, I believe, that he will exert his greatest force to nullify the elections, keep his majorities in Congress and set about rewriting the constitution.

Yes, that was a deliberate understatement... Add to that all the environmental threats; arctic ice melting, ocean water warming, rainforests cut down, wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes... It doesn't look good.

I did hear something recently about the ice cap being quite large this year, did you read that as well?

I looked it up, found this useful site: https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today. MAYBE not quite as bad this year, but overall... I nearly cried. And just this morning I found this essay among my emails: https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/thirty-years/. The way I understand it: every ending is a new beginning, there isn't really any death, only transformation. Which says nothing about suffering though.
