I will never forget the excitement, emotion, hope, and then the horror. I still haven't gotten over it.
Some nights it keeps me awake with worry for my grown children who are trying so hard to make something of themselves and have hopes and dreams for themselves and our nation. I can't shake the worry about how bad things could get.

I hadn’t seen this. Or, maybe I forgot while in the throes of grief after the election. Thanks for posting it.

It's been delayed too long.

It will take years just to catalog the damage that Putin and the Russiapublicans have done.
