This is one of those nights when you can feel your emotions shared by millions of other people. Together we endured a trauma and avoided a calamity. Relief, gratitude and love are in the air.

I wish I could share your relief but I don’t. We didn’t avoid a calamity, nearly half the country voted for Trump. We have record poverty, homelessness, income inequality, wage stagnation, unaffordable housing, healthcare. Fascism rises during hard economic times. It’s not over.
