Out & About With #RandomThoughts For the Week.....

As I note the "Visual" #RandomThoughts above, I can't help but reflect upon the profound challenging weeks we've been witness to in our World.   It has been especially quite a week-end as the number of cases continue to rise in the United States and we in America are achieving a very grim milestone.     Although the lock-down has given Mother Earth a reprieve, it will be only a matter of time before the cars are back in action, the ships pollute the waters.   Nature gave us a warning--whether this is heeded is up to us.

I caught up on Twitter with the discourse as I reflected upon the week-end.  Over the week-end also, I released the thought below to my Instagram Feed.      Over the course of the ensuing weeks and months, I'll be focused during my bi-weekly social good outreach to remember the victims of the fascists who are in charge in Iran today--this is as COVID-19 continues to ravage the Country as there is a concerted push to get the country back open with no regard for human life.     I for one could not understand how the Regime had the nerve to launch a satellite into space when it can't feed its' people, can't guarantee its' roads and can't address simple basic necessities--and gives people a loan of $ 70 and then wants to charge them a 12 Percent interest rate to get them back and as political prisoners like Nasrin Soutodeh and Narges Mohammadi continue to languish in Prison:

While working away over the weekend I created a grid of the some latest inhumanity by the fascists in Iran -the top left is a leading human rights lawyer currently in prison as covid19 rages on -he missed his child’s birthday ...the next one is the killer of the angels of #ps752 when he gave an interview on state television -as the regime put a satellite into space as corona ravaged Iran -I salute @ps752justice for their eloquent advocacy and look forward to the day he and his bosses are held to account -And the third one was a salute by @dr_pirmoazen saluting one of his family members who became a martyr during the disastrous war with Iraq in 1980 -saluting all the fallen , all those enduring the harsh prison conditions of the Islamic Republic and asking the almighty to grant solace & comfort to their families as I know light will shine on that beautiful land again ...

It is tough to remain hopeful--but we've all got to....
