When it collapses...and it will. These are the most soothing words I could hear this morning. I couldn't even comment on your column yesterday - the dizzying events too frequent and outrageous just left me choked. But today, this is clear: he is a despot going after his enemies and here it reminds me of Stalin. Crazy and ruthless and more empowered by the sycophants he let stand behind him (the others in a pool of blood with a gunshot to the head). Those nodding toadies, like our own nodding toads, Patel, Bondi and Blanche, enabling the rule of law to be in the hands of one insane man. The reckoning is coming for them (and the others) and we will, I hope, get our own hearings, arrests, trials and perhaps a prison visit for them. Well, more than a visit, let's say a stay, a long stay.
We can correct the problems being created economically and maybe with our allies but this administration is taking is the soul of America. Thanks Mary for eloquently presenting it.
When it collapses…and it will . Those words summed the inevitable..three times folded what awaits those compliant.
It’s a matter of time.
No vindication here , just sadness as justice dies , as history repeats itself….once again.
Because…?
What is it that sees millions of people not vote ? Didn’t want a woman? Didn’t want a multi racial president? Didn’t want to get out of their chair or off the couch? Gerrymandered? Believed the con, the Fox, or was it vindication? Tired of a complacent society? Tired of the struggle?
"When it collapses...and it will." Thank you--I've been holding those few words closely since first reading earlier this morning. A distressing sense of life outside the norm has been ever present since walking through a parking lot of SUVs last Saturday to the local high school soccer game. Rear windows of SUVs extolling Charlie Kirk as a patriot and saint were also decorated in flags and Christian symbols. It's frightening to think about an entire generation of children brainwashed to believe that anyone "other" is evil. So I'll hang onto "when it collapses..and it will" and hope I live to see it.

Still unbelievable that this can be happening in America, the land of the free.

I've been unable to describe exactly what is happening and "taking the soul of America" is exactly on point.
Thanks Mary. I can only imagine how much it takes emotionally and physically for you to continue documenting these events for generations to remember.

“ I am your retribution” he said.
It will not wear well.
TY,Mary. Simply eloquent.
Powerful writing. Devastating, heartbreaking. Is there a possibility that this will all end?. I'm beginning to doubt it.
Shame on you Pam Bondi.

So appreciate your ability to demonstrate the needed passion to this piece, Mary♥️
