“Defund the Police” is Misleading:
and an unfortunate choice of phrase

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 29, 2020 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 12, 2020

Let’s be clear. The perhaps well-meaning “Defund the Police” movement (most notably on Twitter) is NOT a Democratic movement, nor WISE. It’s an extreme, and extremes are terrible choices. The most extreme among the Defunders want to eliminate cops. If there are no cops at all, what happens when your daughter or grandmother calls for help when a man is following her on a dark street? When someone is trying to break in? What happens when there’s an active shooter at a grade school? We need to maintain law and order, but that phrase has also been both usurped and … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"You're only responsible for being honest, not for someone else's reaction to your honesty."

Politics Quotes

Quotes for Writers

The author must keep his mouth shut when his work starts to speak. ~ Frederich Nietzsche

Word of the Day

sonoroussuh-NOR-uhs, SAH-nuh-rus. Giving sound when struck, resonant, as, sonorous metals. Loud-sounding, giving a clear or loud sound, as, a sonorous voice. Yielding sound, characterized by sound, as, the vowels are sonorous. Impressive in sound, high-sounding.

Favorite Quotes

“Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Let me just add that no civilian should be able to purchase or own a weapon of war. So that's not what I'm referring to, here.

Kelli Jae Baeli©BestsellingGenreHoppingIndieAuthor@KelliJaeBaeli

I disagree with this trend of saying "It's the guns." A gun is an inanimate object with no will of its own. It's PEOPLE. Religion. Patriarchy. Greed. Ignorance. Entitled white men. No accountability. Mostly, it's 100 million non-voters, & those who elect enablers.

If I saw that, I'd BUY THEM WHAT THEY NEEDED. for those who can't afford that, look the other way.

Jack Monroe@BootstrapCook

Your regular reminder that if you see someone stealing baby formula, nappies, bread, milk, pasta, ready meals, you didn’t see a fucking thing mind your own business and thank god you’re not so desperate for your own or your babies survival that you’d risk a criminal charge for it
