5. Yea, this was gut punch.

My son and I facetimed tonight and we were both devastated. He is not feeling well because of this news and took it very hard. I think a lot of young people are taking this hard tonight. The fear he raised with me is genuine and I understand, but I did my best to console him and let him know we must remain positive. I used all my knowledge gained here at DU to help him understand the future and I think we parted with him feeling a little better.

We will never have a hero like RBG again, she has left a mighty big footprint on history.

Tonight is night for somber reflection and we should all take a deep breath and do Ruth Bader Ginsberg the greatest of honors by getting up tomorrow with a renewed determination and vigor to make sure that we do everything in our power to stop Trump from getting another 4 years. We must fight as she fought, till our last breath...

Sending my prayers for her tonight, but I know she is already sitting on the highest court.

Peace and Love, Aristus!

She was the greatest supreme court rock star ever. BootinUp Sep 2020 #1
