Liberty and the rest of us -- pick up your torch. Pick yourself up. Turn towards the problem. Then, screw your courage to the sticking place.

We are all going through the stages of grief at different rates. Most are at least at the despair stage now.

I know quite a few are at the suicidal stage.

I'm friends with a lawyer who actually contemplated it. He moved to the Republic of Ireland.

Hell, I'm on the verge of being one of them. The ONLY things keeping me alive are my pets and the belief of suicide being a sin.

Look for the good people in your life! They can help. Also, I was drowning in all the bad news, cruelty, and hate coming from our leadership and their cult following. I switched to a dumb phone so I can tune in on my terms. It is a constant barrage, but we can sidestep the stream sometimes.

Nah, don't go there. You don't want to miss the parties in the streets when he croaks in the near future. Don't let the bastards take your joy. They want you to feel how you feel.

I'm wavedashing between anger and depression. I won't ever accept this shit even if there's little I can do. If America falls so be it but wherever I live after shall NOT be a fascistic police state.

Find small ways to resist. Post here. Perhaps join Indivisible or a group holding protests near you. Be sure to register to vote and get like-minded friends to do so. We need to resist.

I've voted in every eligible election since I turned 18. I plan to get intimately involved in primaries if any progressive candidates in my area run. Gonna be sure my housemates do so as well. I can't stand very well tho because I'm outa shape and me and gf am concerned about running from the cops.
