The waters are parting as people migrate

And when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that your dog carried you…

For those migrating from one platform to another, for sanity and safety, we pray to the Lord.

Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.

As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.

It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.

I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.

I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.

I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.

We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.

There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.

I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.

I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.

The confessional is open over on Facebook if you need a bowl of soup and a chance to confess what you’re thinking today…

Since this site and its owner led to so much disinformation, is there any wisdom staying on it?

[Unvirtuous Abbey @UnvirtuousAbbey]

From Crypto Hitlers, Lord, deliver us.

I remember during Trump’s first Presidency when I would comfort myself with the thought that there were adults in the room.

There were, and they left.

There are no more adults.

We have a 78 year old emotionally stunted man on the precipice of power. He has 246 electoral votes

I don't get it

[Unvirtuous Abbey @UnvirtuousAbbey]

This will still be true no matter who wins.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright was correct and you all hated on him for it.

The United States is what we all thought it was and may no one utter the phrase,

‘And God bless the United States of America!’

ever again.

You have to earn the right to say that as a nation. Do better.

Let’s take a breather.

Post a photo of a place, person, meal or thing…whatever…that is sacred to you.

I’ll start.
