I can't sleep tonight

They let us know, without any pretense

That the game is fixed.

Right in our face.

Justice has left the building, my friends.

At times like this, only music helps me.

"A place to stay, enough to eat
Somewhere, old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
And what's more, no one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore
Night after night, going 'round and 'round my brain
His dream is driving me insane"

Good night, and God help us.

1. Hang in there, you are not alone.

We WILL win in the end.

2. Sorry to hear that. If it makes you feel any better, you aren't the only one.

I haven't slept a wink and I have to get up for work in about 4 hours. Fortunately, I am WFH, so I can hit snooz until almost 9am, but it sucks to go throught the workday on so little sleep. I always feel like hell by around noon or 1 pm and just want to go back to bed.

I used to sleep so much better before this bastard was in office. I honestly cannot take another four years of this.

3. His mere presence is a direct threat to the health -

physically, mentally, and psychologically - of every one of us. If the 'rona don't getcha', the depression will.

No, not another four years. That's not do-able. That's not survivable. Just No.

Now, try to get some sleep.

4. Don't you know it, Tunsie!

I think we are all at the end of our rope with this. Even one more week seems endless. Another four years is inconceivable. It cannot happen. I honestly think I would have to check myself in somewhere because I simply could not bear it. And I need to get a decent night's sleep for once!

Hope you are doing well!

5. It's a tough night. My heart and head

are pounding. The last days have felt so good, have felt nervous but so optimistic but now ... terror. Just that.
