I rarely write about US politics on the purple app because Reasons, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. But I will say this much. I hate the Fourth of July, and that's not just because I hate fireworks. This "beautiful" bill that's just been signed? Bleak. It's monstrous cruelty. And the timing heaps it on even thicker. There's an unfinished essay in my files called "USA: The Land of Suffering With a Smile." I set it aside many years ago because I couldn't edit it without sobbing. I revisited it this morning. Still don't know if I can finish it, but today I'm angry enough that I might try.

I usually say that we always have a driving force within us that ends up moving us in some way, be it anger, joy or whatever comes. Use your anger to your advantage!
