And it wasn't bad history, for once.
In one day the political landscape changed a little bit cause one low level staffer with a lot of access from Trump White House finally stood up, found her voice, and told the truth that a bunch of powerful corrupt men have been scrambling to hide for the last 18 months.
This is what they mean by the long, slowly bending moral arc of the universe. It doesn't bend on its own--people have to show up, keep the faith, and keep pushing for a better world. But today, you saw the truth take a little step into the light where we can all appreciate it.
The best way to honor the rare privilege of having witnessed a good day in history, a good day in a sea of bad news days in the encroaching right wing sociopathic efforts of a neo-fascist elite... the best way to honor this little ray of sunlight is to get motivated and go out and fight like hell for the next 4½ months. Donate, volunteer, and fight fight fight.

I "minister" to Debbie Downers here. I tell them that I am Pro-zactive.
Bitching got me exactly nothing in life, but strapping on the tool belt did. I just forget what it was that I set out to repair!
Cheers!
