The 2024 Election: Numb

I am numb.

I have not slept enough in weeks, and certainly not last night. As much as a I feared, the social media sources I was following did indeed turn out to be echo chambers. I tried to make sure that they weren’t, to make sure to check out other feeds and sources, but obviously I failed.

I know there will be time for reorganizing, for action, for active resistance.

But not today.

I want to, but I can’t. I can’t.

I feel lost and adrift.

The American people have failed our daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and cousins yet again.

Where do I find any silver lining today?

I will resist. I will fight.

Just not today.
