It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist.

No one can sustain rage for long. I am still angry and always will be. My dear son was stolen from me and his family to never return. He was killed for profit and lies. How can I not be angry? Sometimes though, the rage comes back.

Segmented killing and hatred will only stop when we enlarge our personal, national, and international circles of concern to include all six billion people on this planet: not just the white ones, Christian ones, American ones, female ones, or any ones. Simply put: every one.

I'm just a regular mother who's trying to save lives and be the best human being I can be.

The Democrats are as much a part of the war machine as the Republicans. We can't let Democrats get off the hook because they're Democrats.

There is too much at stake to worry about our own egos. When my son was killed, I had to face the fact that I was somehow also responsible for what happened. Every American that allows this to continue has, to some extent, blood on their hands. Some of us have a little bit, and some of us are soaked in it.

I am not a politician or a military strategist. I am just a citizen voicing my opinions.
