This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “transmission,” is brought to us by Dar. Check out her blog here!

I’m stuck. In a loop of worry for my friends south of the border, particularly those in blue states.

And the only thing I can think of that has to do with the prompt word is communication.

Unlike different periods in history when governments made excuses for the killing of their own citizens, you have something different: the ability to transmit true accounts of what actually happened within seconds of it happening.

Of course that requires the people brave enough to stick around to film the brutality. For them I am truly grateful.

Because it could happen in any country. The United States has proven that.

I hope with all my heart that what you’re enduring now can be overcome, that your country is once again free from having to worry about government overreach.
