The Presidential Election 2020

    The election of Donald Trump has been an utter disaster for our nation. He is both a symptom and a cause of many of the most pressing issues we’re facing today, and we cannot afford four more years of a president who fans the flames of racism, devastates our economy, and amplifies conspiracy theories over Twitter. We need Joe Biden in the White House and Democrats in control of the House and Senate.

    If we come together in support of a strong Democratic Party, we have a chance to take back the White House, flip the Senate, and expand our Democratic majority in the House. But that’s only possible if we get to work nowIt’s the support of Democrats like you and I that will translate directly to training organizers, hiring voter protection directors in vulnerable states, and upgrading our tech and data infrastructure. There’s still so much work to be done, and it’s going to require early commitments from all of us. We have a chance to get America back on track. - Barbara Streisand

Behold

   "Your soul, which formerly was dry, now ripens from suffering.  Once upon a time you were sharply intolerant. You were constantly in a rush. You were constantly short of time. And now you have time with interest. You are surfeited with it, with its months and years, behind you and ahead of you - and a beneficial calming fluid pours through your blood vessels - patience. You are ascending.  Formerly you never forgave anyone. You judged people without mercy. And you praised people with equal lack of moderation. And now an understanding mildness has become the basis of your uncategorized judgments. You have come to realize your own weakness - and you can therefore understand the weakness of others. And be astonished at another's strength."                 - Alexander Solzhenitsyn
