Morning
I'm right there with you. Still just randomly crying cause its so overwhelmingly bad and just don't know where to start to try and slow it all down. Still can't listen to the news.
And this morning Mom told me I should be more careful what I post on facebook. Told her we still have freedom of speech. She countered with what are you going to do if someone comes to the door. I said I'd hope we'd fight and besides no one should because I didn't threaten the lives of anyone.

We wore our Safety Pins yesterday while we were watching the game. The bartender wanted one. We gave her one. She told a friend about it and he plus two other women came over to us and asked if they could have some os well.
IT felt very good and very sad that its come to this in America.
Mostly sad.

I went to the protest here on Saturday. It was invigorating. We outnumbered the pro-Trump counter-demonstrators by a big margin. The saddest, most pathetic thing was the lone Klansman all decked out in his blue uniform.

I have not yet built up the strength to do so.
I seriously thank you for this Mondo.

“Trump’s children and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who guided him throughout the campaign, appear to have retained their influence in an official capacity. Kushner’s presence at the White House on Thursday drew notice from Obama’s staff when he asked, as they toured the West Wing, how many of the individuals there would remain into the next administration. Nearly all will depart along with the president.â€

What we are witnessing here is the 'Trumpification' of America. There is much to fear in the coming months.

WSJ reports Trump and his campaign didn't know they had to replace entire Whitre House Staff, that they arent civil servants. Whoo-boy.

In some ways it is terrifying; in other ways it is hilarious. My more populist inclined friends wonder why I think things like term limits a bad idea and having a technocratic governing class isn't a bad thing. They know how all this stuff works. They know how to get things done.
