The challenge is how we rectify suffering, discrimination, & divisions, & come together: “Win or lose, Trumpism will not have been swept into the dustbin of history; it will remain all over the furniture. It’s part of the furniture. Unsweepable.” washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…

We are experiencing exponential growth of #COVID19 as a country. In short: things are bad and getting worse. They will continue on that trajectory before getting better. If we want to change our approach, we will find a way. If we do not wish to do so, we will find an excuse.
