Thankful for the turn towards the left, towards "sanity"

But as a domestic-survivor, I can't see the small wins as an open door to freedom
We still have a freak of nature in charge
we are still in danger on many levels
we still have a loose fucking cannon traveling the world, saying shit like "I can't believe how many countries there are."
campaigns mean enough, but till we KNOW they are un-fucked-with we are just waiting for the other shoe to drop in 2018

don't get complacent
DON'T think we have full control of what they canfuck with on all levels
I'm still nervous
