Both Brian and I were shocked and not a little despondent when the results came in. Fear was/is also running through my system. The one article in the Irish Times was titled, THE UNITED HATES of AMERICA. That’s what his election means to me. We will be doubling down on our support of organizations that fight the good fights like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. And, as logic, reason and human decency are in bigger trouble than I thought, I will be doubling down on my own attention/participation.
One of the best tweets I saw yesterday was from @joeptone “Just saw the rabbi in the hall. ‘The good news is, he changes with the wind,’ the rabbi said. ‘Let’s be the wind.'”
Well said, Aline! *high five* It reenforces the deep breath, metaphorical rolling up of my sleeves and thoughts of “Onward and upward!” this morning.
