Replacing Diet Coke with water ( partly due to my daughter’s nagging) has diminished my acid reflux, and made me feel overall better . If I want caffeine mid day it will be tea or coffee .

Thank you! I almost feel guilty when I engage in life , have hopes of taking a trip. But constantly worrying about how I will survive , how this country will survive what I can / should do is making living itself less worthwhile .

Life long activist -back to the late 60’s. As was my parents grandparents , husband , even daughter. No we don’t deserve this - or trauma state/ ptsd from musk’s Nazi salutes .

Even more astounding and unambiguous than the still photo, is the live-action capture of *context and full delivery* captured in the video clip.

Biting his lip.
Delivered with purpose.

I was doing ok until I saw musk give 2 Nazi salutes to Trump supporters. My husband/ with a Holocaust background didn’t take it seriously. I am terrified . I wish I could get out of this country .

Also recommend A Better man - story of singer songwriter Robbie Williams journey through addiction trauma and loss to recovery . I sobbed at the end - partly because my Dad’s favorite singer Sinatra was an ongoing impt theme in the movie. Interesting poignant film .

We are .please understand so many of us dedicated our lives to prevent this from happening and are still having a hard time believing it did . We are angry, in mourning, in despair, and trying to figure out how to respond and also protect ourselves in many ways and keep on living meaningful lives
