Joy, hope and gratitude are components of self care. Self care is one of the most important things to carry forward during this trying time. It is not selfish, but sustaining. By sharing these feelings, they have resonated out to others and so on and so on. Thank you for doing so in addition to all of the other work you do. Be well!

Absolutely, Allison. A history-making speech, and definitely a reason for joy from Wisconsin and Florida. Onwards and upwards!

It was an incredible day. I texted the women in my family and told them to rejoice in today. Take the time to feel the joy and relief. Tomorrow it’s back to work.

PS: I love Cory Booker. Always have.

It was one of the most moving things I have experienced in 79 years of life, watching/listening, “standing with” Cory for many hours. Truly a stunning hopeful historical moment that may well signal a big shift. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

Yes. A satisfying sigh... to let out some of this pent up anxiety. Hope! Cory Booker made me cry happy tears and Crawford had me shouting YES! with my fists up. What a day!

Watching Senator Cory Booker from Australia with awe - and then the Wisconsin results came in. Feeling huge relief - it appears that the America we thought was dead still has a strong pulse. Aussies are cheering you on, guys. Keep fighting and as we say here ‘Keep the bastards honest.’

A regular and I loved how you popped in on the Beans with this breaking news and Harry also caught it on Aisle 45. Worldwide anti fascist marches are breathtaking. Guess we are in OUR SUMMER OF DEMOCRACY. 🗽🗽🗽

If they do, let's hope it's an incoming train!
