My first little ‘rant’ on BlueSky since leaving Facebook:

Now is not the time to be apathetic about the state of our country… now we must stand together and fight this autocracy that is trying to destroy Amerika under the guise of being “patriotic”, “for the people” and “religious”… all lies… 🙏☮️🇺🇸😵‍💫

We celebrate all military forces and their families… coming from a military
family it’s so important to honor and remember all the sacrifices these people made to keep America free and safe… god bless all of them… I couldn’t do it… but I can write some pretty decent protest songs in my old age…🙏☮️🇺🇸
