I have cried for the loss of a hero and for the fears I have for the loss of equality. As a mom,it’s been heartbreaking to talk to my gay son and offer assurances he will continue to have all the rights all humans should be afforded ,when we have a monster in office. But now I need to turn my fear into action and start donating to senators outside of my home state of California and also start making calls. Time to turn the sadness into fierce action for LGBTQ people, women, People of Color, migrants seeking asylum , the climate and for all of humanity for decades to come. He simply can NOT appointment another justice. We cannot let our sadness derail us now. Time to mobilize and get motivated even more! Our lives and future lives depend on it.

I alternate between being grief stricken and being determined to fight Trump and his Trumplicans to the bitter end. One promising note: as of an hour ago, $8 million was donated to flip the senate, a $5 million increase in a couple of hours. Justice Ginsburg's death shook us all up and fired us with a renewed sense of urgency. I don't think Nancy Pelosi would shut down the government because that would just cause more suffering when people already are suffering, but tying up Trump in a new impeachment inquiry is a brilliant move to keep him from ramming someone through, because our election is on the line. Isn't he the one who couldn't fight covid because of the January impeachment? We need to push back hard and lean on those 4 Senators who are good candidates for bucking McConnell.
