I am devastated, defeated, disillusioned in exactly who we are. Today I mourn, deeply, wonder if I will be able to see my grandson grow up for as long as I am here, be able to see my daughter and SIL. I am encouraging them to get out. They are my world, I will stay and fight, but I pray they are safe.
I saw something online, actually a few things that added to my anger 1. Etsy sellers advertising merch for alligator Alcatraz, and 2. Trump saying that farm workers can stay, and be under charge of farmers. Sniff sniff smells a lot like reinstating slavery. 3. Brown and black people disappearing, bodies washing up on shore in Spain. People deported to Sudan, plane never arrived, returned empty. Those washed up showed signs of being bound at feet, hands. I am physically and emotionally sick!
I agree, I need to process today, cry, rage, probably go to the chapel and grieve. We will coagulate, but I think, for me, today, I need to connect, share, be quiet, plan, and find a way to accept this moment, but only a moment.

I too am deeply worried. We must be strong or cower, and we can not give into this hatred and bigotry.
