Yes, it is exhausting!  And I am constantly tempted just to turn off the news and forget the whole nightmare.  But even Lech Walesa urges that protests must continue, that Poland and Hungary, unused to democracy, gave up when it disappeared.

I really don’t care all that much that my bags will be inspected for hametz in the hospital on Passover, or that we’re paying more than we should for food and mortgages and everything else.  I don’t even care all that much that criminals are running the country.  But I care that the courts are not independent.  And the protest must go on.

We fought very hard for our freedom and we deserve to keep it.  We are also committed to work for equality for all its citizens.  

But I am taking a break this week to go to see my ganddaughter and I may be lax in my reports for a few days.
