Shell- shocked, an understatement, for sure.

Thank you

Honestly, Rajiv. I purposely took Tuesday and Wednesday off “just in case.” As it turns out, I was so upset I couldn’t control my physical reaction; I was quaking with fear and my heart pounded erratically all day (this coming from a healthy hard working woman.) I did not sleep for two days. I could not eat. I am no defeatist, however. I put on a brave front as we all should do, and will work towards the mid-terms and begin action, in my time off.

Be well, keep steady.

We all have stories, I am sure. We had an early dinner out because it was going to be a long date night with the Tv. Got a shrimp platter and a gyro platter from Costco for snacking late night. But everything turned against us.

I am reminded of dome good poetry.

“ Though outwardly a gloomy shroud.

The inner half of every cloud is bright and shining.

I turn my shroud inside out to show the lining.

Thank you

Heartened to see I am not actually alone even though it feels like it. Thank you, Anne.

Yes, but it's time to stop mourning and get back to work.

Look for independent journalists to come in your email. Heather Cox Richardson helps us to understand the politics in play from a historical perspective. We’ve been here before. Jay Kuo has helped me understand all of the legal stuff. I think he is a genius that knows how to speak to us in layman terms. Scott Dworkin calls out the corporate media and is assembling a team to help resist the worst of project 2025. Look in your podcasts for people like Bryan Tyler Cohen. Stay tuned. We are not going down without a fight.

Yes, Heather Cox Richardson is one of the best in the business. Her daily newsletters this week put much in perspective. I'm grieving our loss, but must believe that good will prevail over evil.
