So well said Leah. But we must keep in mind that our efforts must not end. We have two years now to flip Congress, and two after that to challenge for the presidency again. And we must start today to make sure that those opportunities are not taken off the table!

I'm not there quite yet, Joe, but I hear you and agree. I will get there. Today is for grief.

Thank you. I keep wondering how this happened? Why so many could choose such a flawed man to be the President of our beautiful country.

Thanks, Leah, for your words you wrote yesterday, which seemed to hit just the right note. Yesterday was indeed a day for grief, and sadness, and strangeness. But unlike the first time he-who-shall-not-be-named won, I no longer think about moving. Rather, I will stay right here and fight. -- A bit belatedly, thanks to you also for writing about Micaela Pavoncello and Jewish Roma tours in your Portico book. I was in Rome last month and took the three hour tour of the ghetto area and Micaela was fantastic. It was not my first time there, but she brought more dimension to my existing knowledge. Thanks again, for everything. Barrie Kerper

Oh wow! I love that you got to go on tour with Micaela. She’s the best. And agreed - we will stay and keep fighting.
