bink came over yesterday (to my house sitting vacation home), and we watercolored thank-you support cards for our Minnesota representative in Congress, Ilhan Omar, who is under fire from evil forces.
It seems absurd to put it that way, but on one level––the level of the presidency of the United States!––politics have deteriorated to childish good-and-evil plot lines:
"The princess has been captured by the Death Star".
(That's Star Wars, not Trek.)
Luckily Rep. Omar is like fearless leader Princess Leia facing Darth Vader. I couldn't do it. I looked at her Instagram and people leave the most vile comments.
So some pretty cards might be welcome--if only seen by her staff who have to wade through the filth too.
The dolls helped:
I remember thinking in the early days that Trump & his ilk might run out of steam, but far from it.
"What can we do?" . . . I haven't done much since bink and I made Baby's First Resistary in 2017.
I always think that if it all goes to hell, at least there should be a piece of paper somewhere with my name on it saying, "I don't agree to this!"
And others that say, "Thank you for standing up!"
