Wednesday

I often say: hanging in there...sometimes by a thread.

Every day brings new horrors to respond to, and I am usually apoplectic a few hours in.

I use the F word more than ever. There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe the insanity.

But I keep moving forward and doing what I can to stand up for truth, justice, and the American way.

The camraderie of the DU community helps get through the day. I am grateful for the information sharing and supportive communication.

I find inspiration in activism and the people alongside me in the resistance. WE ARE THE PEOPLE!
