our EIC read this to us today and it's really helped: "We may not have caused our distress, but we decide what to do with it. Will you pass it on to the next person, or will you manage it by being a little more responsible for yourself, and a little more responsible to your neighbors?"

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
