Storm's Comin'

 Years ago I would walk my Simba dog in a local park every morning. We often ran into Thomas and his dog and we would stop and chat. I remember one particularly cloudy morning with ominous looking clouds. The white pelicans were circling overhead. 

“Storm’s comin’,” Thomas said.  

Storm’s comin’... 

I’m thinking about that tonight as we sit on the precipice of something so ominous. What will the country we see at Noon EST tomorrow be? It will be turned upside down and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. It’s terrifying. 

We know for sure we're in for a rough go of it for a few years. Because the richest man in the world told us so. HE TOLD US SO. And almost half the country said, "Ok." 

We're all flipping exhausted and haven't caught our breath from the last time. And the Pandemic that was a total shitshow.  So take a beat, but not too long. Because autocracy, like the fog, comes in on little cat feet.

And before you know it - the fog has enveloped everything. Everyone. 

But we are still here, dammit. 

Please don't give up. Our way of life, our country that so many of our family members fought for is still worth fighting for. In any way we can. 

On November 6, 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris said this:

I find such great inspiration in Andra Day's "Rise Up." Because we are going to need to.
