SEVEN trans people were elected yesterday

In a country filled with hate, these are encouraging results! For the first time in a year, I'm beginning to feel optimistic for our children's future.

I posted this in February.

Maintain calm awareness.

Be poised to shift stance quickly.

Don't fight fears or worries. Whenever fears and worries rush in to overwhelm you, just say to yourself "Oh, hi. You again." Then mentally in your mind open a window and let a breeze waft them away. Direct yourself to something that needs to be done, not as a distraction, but as a way to maintain progress forward.

We will survive. We will persist and persevere.

You, me, DU, Democrats, the USA, this beautiful world. We will persist and triumph together.

They must pay for unleashing the horrors of Donald Trump and the Pepe The Frog crowd on us!
