I also feel better after I attend a rally or vigil.

I think community is the common thread.

I kept breaking down yesterday.

I feel heartbroken.

Our country is being stolen from us and trampled on. It is a visceral feeling of loss.

I am in tears as I post this. I love this country with all my heart, and it is being destroyed.

...that this country is changing. If it's possible, try to be with your friends more often. You'll feel
that the bubble around you will wait until reality is better. Keep in mind regarding Trump..

Sending you and lots of love. It will not be easy, but I believe that love and the light it brings, can and will save us.

Trump's dystopian regime is not the vision of the majority of Americans. Every day more truth is being uncovered.

There will be a reckoning for Trump very soon. Either he will succumb to his illnesses, or he will lose in the midterms.

Try to get some rest, I'll be thinking of you.
