Nailed. It. As usual. It really is important to include class concerns in this, tho I got my ass handed to me a few times mentioning that. It's like we all need to go back to basic lessons in intersectionality - not just to point out who has it the worst (that is clear) but to make it apparent, once again, that there are a whole heap of people getting the shaft for a variety of reasons. There's so much untapped unity and power there.
I agree with you, Dori... another lesson in brilliant writing... I've learned that; “Life is about accepting the challenges along the way, choosing to keep moving forward, and savoring the journey.”― Roy T. Bennett... We as people need to have a stronger backbone in fighting the ills that plague our country and its people of all nationalities... Hope is tomorrow’s veneer over today’s disappointments... Understanding the divisions and accepting what could be done is a starting point if all else fails...Try try again until we get it right! “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, But rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” -

"Cause being strong is more than just holdin' on
To advance, you gotta take a chance
Waitin' on the line, it ain't nothin' but marking time
Won't get nowhere, just standing there" Gill Scott Heron
We can all only do what we can but whatever that is it must be done with purpose. I feel your purpose.
