He did harness the powers of hate. We did harness the powers of love. And love did win.

“My whole soul is in it.” I believe him. This is an important moment of national pause; beautiful prayer, beautiful music, beautiful speech. A ritual of reset worthy of the moment. My heart is filled with gratitude and praise. America has been given a moment of reprieve. ❤️💜💙

Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping. Monied overlords & their overreach have been a struggle throughout our history. Other generations pushed back, and now it’s our turn. You can say it’s over and give up if you want to but I’m not - and neither are a lot of other people.

Give me a break. I live in DC too. After what happened at the Capitol on January 6 they have no choice but to guard the city against violence on Inauguration day. It would be irresponsible of them not to.

4/ Democracy doesn’t work when it’s citizens become disengaged. Citizenship must become something we consider part of a meaningful and well lived life. So many of this have learned so much. America has been humbled, and in the final analysis that is not a bad thing.

3/ It was a painful awakening but a necessary one. As long as we remain alert, as long as we don’t go back to sleep, as long as we refuse to ever again farm out our democracy to those unworthy of our trust, then the future will be much better than the past.
