Dear reader,

I have plenty to say about last night’s dumpster fire but today I want to take a break from jokes. Many of you are in pain and I don’t want to make light of that.

You shouldn’t misinterpret my pause, however, as acquiescence or resignation. We all deserve a moment to curl up in the fetal position. But when that moment is over, I want to do what I can to make life better for my children and grandchildren (not to mention people I don’t happen to be related to). I hope you’ll feel that way, too.

Remaining silent and surrendering to despair is exactly what fascists want us to do. So let’s not.

Thanks, as always, for supporting my work. You’re why I do what I do—and why I’ll continue doing it.

Stay tuned.

All my love,

Andy

I thought this was worth sharing as I am spending today figuratively curled up in a fetal position.

hugs to everyone on DU and all across the country and the world feeling this same pain.
