Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to K.C. Saunders as the County Administrator. He is, in fact, the Budget Director for Lorain County. The correction applies to Part 3, paragraph 3; Part 4, paragraph 1 & 4; and Part 5, paragraph 4 of the published story.

I was at an industry trade show last week, and although it wasn’t my first since becoming substance-free, this one landed on my six-year anniversary—which brought some old loops to the surface.

There was a subtle but persistent hum in my mind: Do people still judge me? Do they see me differently? Even now, those loops can spin up, especia…

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

45 is going to be increasingly dangerous as reality sets in. He is eager to initiate a violent takeover to install himself into power. If not law enforcement and the military, his para-militia anti-government base that has been arming themselves for a second Civil War for decades if not generations.

Two references in two comments pertaining to the fiasco of 45's disastrous appearance at the NABJ Convention in Chicago:

1 of 2:

45 takes the side of the rioters he summoned and directed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021 in an attempted coup.

45 again promised to pardon "J6" rioters who were identified, charged, tried in accordance with the law, many of whom pled guilty, and subsequently given verdicts and consequences. Those imprisoned he has routinely referred to as hostages instead of insurrect…

2 of 2:

45 takes the side of law enforcement and pledges to give them total immunity,

along the lines of the ruling of his hand-picked Supreme Court Justices placing him above the law.

The case of Sonya Massey.

One of the female panelists at NABJ posed the question about his stated intention to grant total immunity to law enforcement officers.

Sonya Massey was a Black woman who called 911 for help, fearing there was a prowler.

She was shot in the face and killed by an officer who had been discharged from the military, and cycled through six law enforcement agencies in four years.

She was unarmed, in her own home, and was trying to take a pot of boiling water off of the stove at the officers' direction.

The officer who killed her did not have his body cam operating. The incident was captured by the accompanying officer on his body cam.

The family was not initially informed her death was an officer-involved-shooting.

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

If Trump is going to keep posting AI images of himself, he should at least make them realistic.
