What a nightmare scenario. We in England are as concerned for the future as every thinking (i.e. non-Trump supporting) American. Your recent election result spells potential disaster for the democratic West but Mr Putin is laughing his head off and preparing to go into cahoots with the ghastly Trump.

I see there is gas in your personal tank and that you are firing on all cylinders, as usual. It's people like you, Nina, who will help keep us strong and get through this. Good on you.

My darkened ghouls include ones who sneered at me as I awaited your coherent though melee ridden assessment, which finally arrived this morning. I laughed out loud over and over.

I needed that therapy. I actually had my first real anxiety attack a few weeks ago. For over 90 minutes I could not breath. Hyperventilating, I squinted through a maze of emailed instructions, miraculously completing the grant on time while bulldozing a new highway from my fish to my monkey brain.

Key points of laughter:

Here:

"What else?"

Here:

"It was a Hieronymous Bosch scene, faces looming from the shadows, drunks in red hats, sweaty with joy, Giuliani to my right, Steve Bannon’s family to the left. Herr Donald took a victory lap around the balcony above, trailed by his females in the ice skater dresses and stilettos, jaw-cocked a la Mussolini."

And here:

"...forms of holy hell will be inflicted on swathes of America the minute Trump’s hand comes off the Bible."

glad I found you.

I’m a card carrying member of the 0-dark:30 wake up hour. Keep hoping his time on earth has ended when I check first thing. WTF actuarial scales?

Thank you Nina for all your hard work and advocacy. We just can’t comply or obey in advance. I live in an agricultural are on the San Mateo coast and am hoping to see movement to protect our migrant communities here. I suspect it will soon unfold. If not, will work to see something happen.

Appreciate and am grateful for everyone in this fight!

🙏🙏🙏🙏
