"Thinking in terms of root causes and nonpunitive interventions is never ridiculous, even when the target is right-wing extremism," @NeilMGong and @heathperson write:
A fear I grew to know for 4 years and changed so much in our lives. The 4 year storm is finally over. Now I cry out of relief. I cry as I look around and see the damage done...but my heart is full of hope. It's time to pick up the pieces and NOT rebuild but BUILD anew.
I can't stop crying. It's a painful cry. The pain you would feel being reunited with family after being held hostage for 4 years. The kind of cry you imagine when someone on life support dies after 4 years of agony. A painful cry, that it is finally over. That my fear is dead..
"I'm looking forward to decency being restored to the office of the President. I'm ecstatic to see a woman of black and Indian descent breaking the glass ceiling.
I am looking forward to more COVID vaccines, I want there to be justice for Black people, more taxes for the rich, minimum wage increase, LGBTQ matters, and for ICE to be abolish as well as not seperating immigrant families
I'm looking forward to not awaking every day with a sense of dread over what our President has said or done while I was sleeping. I'm also looking forward to activists pushing Joe and Kamala towards fighting for justice and rights...
"Had an 11am meeting today, and said:
""Like Trump, I have a hard stop at noon.""

Our work is not done by any means but we have taken a huge step forward and I am happy to be able to take a small break in order to celebrate our new President and our first woman and person of color Vice President.
Bye 45! We welcome a return to integrity dignity and honor in our highest offices! We welcome POC and immigrants and representation! Women and lgbtq and Black and Native Americans! We welcome an america where I have a dream has a meaning!

BOY BYEEE
While the fight to end white supremacy will continue, today, let’s take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief. To spread Black joy. And if you want…. to dunk on this idiot.

"Being American is the past we step into and how we repair it." Of everything that happened today, I'll be thinking about this line from @TheAmandaGorman the longest.
“Even as we grieved, we grew...as we tired we tried....we found the power to author a new chapter.” Thank you for your powerful poem @TheAmandaGorman.

Let’s go y’all! I’m crying my eyes out. We got 45 out! We voted out white supremacy! Now we fight to hold folks accountable and we fight for Black life! Let’s go y’all. #InaugurationDay
