I found that I am extremely upset tonight

I knew it was coming but somehow the actual fact of it has set me into a tailspin. The God damn orange man withdrawing from Paris has broken something in me.

I'm VERY UPSET.

I'm hoping there are demonstrations near me tonight. The reality of it makes me angrier than I thought it would.

I know I'm on the verge of another anxiety attack so I've GOT to find a distraction.

I really can't think of anything that is so awful that I wouldn't wish it upon that man.

It is hopeful that you are looking for a demonstration near you. If there isn't one...we're all here tonight, with you. I'm sorry - for all of us - for our planet and everything on it.

America could leading the world on a heroic mission to save our planet but instead we are leading the charge to destruction. I want no part of it. But, you got me looking for a protest in my area.

but every day it gets a little bit harder to remain on an even keel when so many people in this country are idiots bordering on sociopathically insane. It's clear they have no touch on reality anymore and don't really care about anything other than hurting us(progressives) So stew in it for a bit but try to take a politics day off somewhere along the line.
