I think we have a lot of thinking to do and probably this website is not the place to do it.
I'm sad. I know you are too.
In 2004, I was crushed and furious when the country RE-elected a lying, vindictive war criminal president. It felt permanent. Damning.
4 years later the same country elected a first-term Black senator with the middle name "Hussein" to the highest office in the land.
Things change quickly in politics, is all I'm saying.
It's a big country, and there are still massive levies protecting democracy.
Right now, if I'm being honest, I don't know if I believe in our system. But I believe in us. I believe in you. I know you want what's best. I know you're scared and angry and hurting and I know you will bounce back and so will I.
I think the levies won't break. They will be tested, maybe damaged, but they will hold. The pendulum always swings back the other way. First the midterms, then 2028.
I'm signing off for awhile. Going to go regroup and spend time with my kids, tell them I love them, remind myself why we fight, why I will never ever give up on the only country we call home. I love you all. -M
