“Each of us has a unique role to play in the healing of the world.” Thank you Marianne for calling for an uprising of the American people. It is time to intervene.
Who is this day actually for, really? It’s for wealthy, white men who aren’t on SSD or Medicaid, and who can afford health care without going into debt from one unexpected procedure. How many people does that include? Is that just the 1-5% of the population because for sure it isn’t the 90 - 95% of the rest of the people in this country. And I know there are white women in this group but you’re there because you’re with a wealthy white man because you’re still a woman who doesn’t have autonomy and rights over your life, your decisions, or your body.
My delusion of celebrating the 4th of July came after I came out as a lesbian when I was 22, when I was a Christian and learned that I was expected to disown who God made me to align with their beliefs to remain a Christian. What I decided to do was follow the teachings of Jesus – “Know the Truth and the Truth will set you free” – and I picked God and Me, and gave up Christianity – and ever since, I haven’t celebrated the 4th because it’s a lie. A lie that we tell ourselves and the world – that America stands for freedom and justice for all. It doesn’t and it never has. I do believe it’s possible but not until the people stand up together and claim it to be true. It’s time now – more than ever. 💜
Bless you Marianne. 🙏😔☀️ yes perhaps today is a day for grieving but perhaps, we can keep this to a certain timeframe. Because we need to spark our joy to spark our energy and that’s why the phrase if we don’t laugh we’ll cry exists. So while there is a time for crying even in these times there’s a time to laugh at the absurdity of it all, to laugh laugh at the irony of it all, to laugh because we are sharing connection with people and people are what matter in all of this. I thank you for your post. I admire you Marianne and I hope that you will lead us out of this. Stay safe and Kia kaha.
I'm ready to take a peaceful, constructive stand for freedom and justice for all. I'm listening for my marching orders - and I know what some of them are already. Thank you for being there to offer comfort and encouragement!
Thank you. I too believe that this is happy July 4 for all of the right reasons. Aligned with America that has regenerated her glory, who has indeed fulfilled “the great experiment.“

Happy 4th. Marianne
And in 4 days
A very Happy Birthday to you. 🎂 🎉
Marianne,
You helped me to understand and remember what was, what is, and what needs to be for us to stand up and not be overcome by grief.
Thank you.
