My daughter’s first-grade class sang for Veterans Day…
and one line from the pledge hit me harder than I expected.
“One nation. Indivisible.”
Maybe it’s time we remember what that actually means.

If the loudest voices and the cheapest lies can divide us…
then what exactly are we pledging allegiance to?

We keep hearing “a nation divided.”
But maybe we’ve just forgotten how to do the math.
One nation. Indivisible.
That’s the equation.

Tearing down the people’s house… for a ballroom.
If anyone else had done that, we’d call it an attack.
So what have we been fighting for — if this is what it comes to?

Leadership isn’t a reality show.
And this… isn’t how any of this should work.

We say “indivisible”… but look around.
This is how division became our national pastime.

I had a revelation at my first-grade daughter's assembly. Four generations of my family served believing in “one nation, indivisible.” This Veterans Day, I asked what happened to that promise — and how we find it again.

There’s no “trans crisis.” No “immigration invasion.” The real crisis is loneliness — people who just want to be seen. Even a fish in a tuxedo wants that.

Trump’s chaos is designed to wear us down — to make us feel exhausted, powerless, & afraid. But we don’t have to play by their rules.

Stay informed without burning out; fight back without losing yourself.

The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. Which is what anti-DEI types overtly want, to exclude people who don’t look or think like them. Let’s call it what is really is, making America great “again” is about going back to Jim Crow.

I, for one, welcome our new Photoshop-based reality.

In an alternate reality, leadership means unity, not division. What if we chose hope over fear? Imagine a world where compassion wins.
