I do feel like I am bleeding. People are talking about yesterday's event like its a sporting event, but I know too many people whose lives are now endangered over something that others are treating like a sport.
Thanks for writing this. I am catching my breath. When it's time to get back up, I am going to make a plan about what I am going to do next.
Thank you for this. It is clear and profound. I believe in the peaceful exchange of power so I accept the results. There will be no insurrection on our part. In 2028 if we are still a Democracy, I will do my civic duty and cast my vote for the better candidate.
Maybe then there will be a majority of Americans ready to vote in their own interest.

thanks Van. this was a much needed palette cleanser from doomscrolling.
