I keep waiting for something positive to happen, but it doesn’t seem like much is possible. Come on, Mueller.

Between the ending of net neutrality, the attacks on Franken and Conyers and twitler coming out for Moore. And then I reminded him of the devasting tax cuts. We just can’t get a break. I no longer feel proud to be American or love my country under twitler.

We stopped the destruction of the ACA, people rose up against the Muslim ban, the Women's March from which newcomers ran for office and won, the elections in New Jersey and Virginia that saw big Dem victories including newbie candidates winning and wins in unlikely places like Oklahoma, Mueller is building a strong case from which he has had two indictments and a guilty plea, drump has not been able to fire him because even repubs have said it would likely mean the end of his presidency. I'm sure others can come up with more.

Yes drumpf and most of the repubs are horrible and they have done and are trying to do even more horrible things, but 2018 will be here soon and I believe things are looking good to take back the House if not the Senate and win more governorships. We just have to keep fighting, and donating our time and money. I am.

It does not help that something else happened and I wake up feeling lost, lonely, extremely depressed, then I remember the country and world and fear enters the mix.
