“Turn the volume up!!!”

Here I am.
Still sickabed on two chairs.
Never occurred to me I’d be in bed with bronchitis for a whole long week. Nuisance. (The worst part is I didn’t get around to unpacking from our trip to Boise when two days later we dashed down to Santa Monica…certainly haven’t unpacked from S.M.. Bedroom’s a shambles. Neatness is a nuisance…love it, but it’s annoying.)
But last night. Hey, last night!
The Democrats—the No Kings Movement—came roaring across the country and grabbed hold of Trumpian candidates by the neck…shook them hard…then dumped them into a pile of has-beens.
It wasn’t long ago I commented in these pages that each American now had to DO SOMETHING to try to rescue us from the oncoming disintegration of our democracy.
Yesterday in all its American beauty we began the process.
I no longer fear we’re going to lose our democracy. No we’re not. Abigail, Mikie, Zohran & Co. won’t allow it.
Donald Trump doesn’t know what hit him—he’s too wrapped up in himself  to understand that Americans have finally seen him for what he is. And no longer will tolerate his authoritarian sociopathy trashing their lives…
Abigail, Mikie, Zohran. New names. New faces. New backgrounds. New approaches to governing.
And how about that blast from California…whoa…people standing outside in the dark waiting to vote Yes on ONE QUESTION. But it was a question at the heart of the matter: will I have honest representation in Congress?
The beginning of The Beginning of our American Renaissance.
I know it’s going to take a while. And hard work. Focus. Contributions. Any minute it will be spring with its primary elections… I’m already hearing from Deb Haaland in New Mexico—she’d be the third woman governor—and the first Native American. Exciting!
I’m so happy I was part of The No Kings March. And that Bill and I have been able to contribute to campaigns of candidates who love America–not themselves–first and foremost.
Onward. Upward.
Right now, truth to tell, I think it’d be fascinating–fun-and-a-half–to live in New York City.
