Not telling anyone what to do...

Alexander Karn

This is a devastating loss, but, in some respects, we wake up today in the same country as yesterday.

We've lost the levers of power nationally, and people will be harmed by the violent stupidity coming down the pike.

But the violent stupidity was surging already yesterday. It's been part of our national history since the beginning.

I'm sad and enraged, but I'm also trying to work the problem. How can I keep working for the things that matter?

@xankarn Love this. Especially your last lines.

"I'm sad and enraged, but I'm also trying to work the problem. How can I keep working for the things that matter?"

I'm horribly disheartened by yesterday's votes - and struggling to process it all. But I'm coming back to another quote:

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”
― Edward Everett Hale
