Woke up yesterday morning to the news that Dick Cheney was dead. Went to bed after hearing about the Blue Tsunami.

Yesterday was an all-around good day; the best one in over a year.

I remember having friends over on election night in 2016 with a bottle of champagne in the fridge to celebrate Hillary’s victory. Didn’t pop the cork until election night 4 years later. It was nicely aged! 🥂😎

That was a long four years, looking in the fridge at that bottle every once in a while; wondering if hope would ever be restored. And it finally was. For only another four years…

Perfect emotional state in which to recall the “Fuck your feelings” crowd. I’d feel worse about their suffering if they had ever felt anything about anyone.

Hope has been dusted off. We must embrace it, and continue to work hard to keep the momentum, canvass, educate voters peacefully resist the dead end, zombie strategy of the other side and focus on winning the mid-terms next year, and beyond.
