Wow, Jessica. I hope your observations about the signage are correct, and that at least some of the people who were part of the former president's cult have peeled away from their servitude and finally said, enough of this loser!
Jess, you say a lot, so eloquently. This has been quite a week. In the wake of trump's cheating and lying and the leak, the Roe v. Wade decision was inevitable. But Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony yesterday was a surprise... so patriotic and heroic. She's 26, and if things are going to turn around, it will be because of courageous young people like Cassidy. She gives me hope.
I myself ,am reflecting on how we reached this point in history , having so many people voting in 2020 for a president toddler bent on destroying 246 years of democracy and freedoms .Hopefully we can put too rest a fascist wanna be dictator . And the brave young woman ,that just maybe put the finishing touches on saving our democracy .
I really notice the message sent by the flags as well. Very hopeful signs you report. I have noticed a lot more state flags out in the rural areas of Missouri and that tells me something too.
I am relieved to read similar things are happening in your area as well regarding flags... I'm so curious how this weekend will be treated around the country. If this was 2019, I'd already be on a plane out of here. But alas... Thanks for your comment, Sharon-St. Louis!

Hear, hear, Wayne!

Thank you, Craig!
BTW Jessica , great article you’ve written , I loved reading it .
Craig, I also do think to myself maybe it was just a 250 year experiment, and it went well for some of it...
Jessica, I hope the experiment will continue on .
Me too, Craig! We have to have some hope, right?
Powerful piece. Good riddance to those torn and tattered eyesores fluttering in the wind.
Not proud to be an American woman right now. Nellie Bly was such a pioneer.
Thanks for keeping it real, always. 🌻💚
Totally, and thank you!
I just watched drunk history on Nellie Bly and it was great thank you so much for the recommendation!!! Very inspiring.
Awww! Awesome!
