It's impossible to comprehend 500,000 deaths. I read about those who have died. Look into their eyes in pictures. I start with 1 person, then 2, then more, imagining a chain of pain so long it feels unending. To those who've lost loved ones, I send deep condolences. I see you.

"It was an evenly divided nation. He got more people, but this was not the seismic shift where 57, 58 percent of America said no," Abrams said on MSNBC.
"It was less than 50 percent of the electorate who said this is what we want," she added.
Abrams is one of the country's most prominent voting rights activists. She also mounted a historic gubernatorial bid in Georgia that nearly succeeded.
"Our responsibility is for decency — to show those who stayed home, those who stayed silent that there is a place for decency and a place for them," said Abrams. "That’s the work that has to be done."
However, she added, "it cannot be by itself the only offering.”
"Ignominy is willing to do things that decency won’t," said Abrams. "But that doesn’t mean you abandon decency. I think it means you find other allies."
This is exactly the kind of messaging that the Democratic Party needs right now. Trump has not defeated us for good. This is a disappointing setback but it's one we'll rise from stronger than ever.
In two years we have mid-term elections.
The work starts now.
