Thank you to the men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation. Thank you for protecting our rights to kneel during the national anthem, to protest publicly in the streets when we see injustice, and to count every vote in every state in every election.
I personally pledge to take full advantage of my rights as an American. I will not be intimidated, frightened, gaslighted, or exhausted by the president’s efforts to suppress votes, stifle the free press, undercut our justice system, and oppress minorities. I will stand up, I will speak out, I will not be afraid. Thank you to our veterans who have made this freedom possible.

Well said, Melanie. For too long, people have been saying to speak out against the president is to speak out against our country and constitution. I say to speak out against his atrocities is to defend them.

It made me so mad when he lectured the press the other day about respecting the office of the presidency and the White House. He has defiled them and is obviously trying to undermine the electoral process.

Remember “Heil Hitler?” I’m sure if he could, he would make outward signs of respect obligatory.
