Like all of you, I’ve been feeling so many emotions since yesterday. I tried to put my thoughts down here:

4. Bless you Michelle. You know who is saving our asses right now (from ourselves)?

Women of color. This is powerful, beautifully written, resonating truth and deeply heartfelt. I needed to read this, and I think so many of us do right now because we are angry, heartbroken, dismayed and disgusted at what we have been seeing unfold, unencumbered. I love this woman!

5. Thank you, Michelle. Thank you. K&R

6. Powerful! I hope Facebook/Twitter/Instagram are listening

Kick him off for good. Stop giving him free airtime. Stop this madness now!

Donald Trump is bad for America's business.

8. Thanks Michelle. But if I may respectfully say, it is time...

for you to put aside your personal wishes and actively Serve Your Country.

I know you have stated you have no interest in serving in an elected or appointed political office. I appreciate that.

But now is the time for all good people to put aside their personal wishes and come to the aid of Democracy.

Your voice and leadership are desperately needed. People on all sides hold you in deep respect.

Over the coarse of our History, many have been called to serve and have put aside their personal goals. Minutemen. Immigrants who were called to service in many many wars. Leaders who dearly wished to retire but did not because they could not leave their country in it's time of need.

It's time Michele. Your Country NEEDS YOU.

9. The U.S. government (USDOT) banned Frank Lorenzo from the airline industry, for life.

This can be done.

12. Over the last 4 years, I've wrestled with this question.

Weighing the relative pluses and minuses of letting him have the access. Yesterday was one of the BIG minuses, but glimpses into his thought processes might have been useful, and maybe it was even a relief valve when that basket of snakes he carries on his shoulder threatened to burst open.

I think any usefulness coming from his social media access is at an end, though,
