And since it’s an earthquake, we are of course powerless to do anything about it. That’s the way I feel anyway

it's an earthquake for sure.

As for me, I view the earth as a living organism so we're infinitely part of it, connected to the n degree and if earthquakes signify anything, that would be change.

I still have faith in the American People's ability to transcend ourselves when we're aware of our common humanity just as I am fearful of us backsliding when we're not.

Ultimately it's up to us as to how we respond to the change.

Her life-covered skin is suffering an ever worsening rash and is now quite toxic. This rash has recently taken another turn for the worse. She does know how to cure herself of this infection raging upon her magnificent exterior. When she initiates her healing process, it will not bode well for the “rash”.

strike back at ‘DOGE’ which is turning your dep’t. of Homeland Security into the Secret Police, like the Gestapo of old in Hitler’s Germany. No understatement, you are in mortal danger from within.
