Oh Jess. So good to hear from you. I’m glad you took a break. It’s great modeling. I found you during the pandemic and started working! Every day I set aside an hour to do all your to dos. Eventually my own life (dying parents and surgeries) slowed me down but I never stopped doing something. Then I added Robert Hubbell and Simon Rosenberg’s to dos and kept going. Then we got walloped and I’m so crushed. I’ll be back. Much love! Kate
Welcome back and thanks for all you do. I'm so glad you took a break. I'm so sorry that we are going to go through the things we are going to go through, but happy we have this community.
Sending love and strength for the fight to come. Personally, I go back and forth all day between feeling devastated and scared and then going into "okay, what can we do?" I've been putting some actions (in addition to the ballot curing which is in another doc) in a google doc. for Markers. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mwana9qusFApUSIj0ZbTWkUHk8m5XtAdv-I41R45mY0/edit?usp=sharing And before you know it, it will be 2025 and Virginia and special elections.
Thank you so so much- 💕am on a news embargo for the foreseeable future and am walking the tightrope of tears and shock- but so lovely to have your spirit show up today- I will get there - just not this sec. But I will be on the zoom tomorrow 😉😘!
I read today that MSNBC is down 50% in the ratings and CNN, 33%. Fox? SOARING HUGE RATINGS. (If one is to believe the news, which ... I don't even know any more.)
Another thing for the MAGA crowd to be crowing about, and crow they are.
I truly do not know how we fight these " info - wars". It's not an even playing field and hasn't been for decades. HOW did Dems get so far behind here?
I know I have not, and will not, watch any mainstream media, including MSNBC, for a very long time, if ever. You have ALL failed us, and failed America, writ large. I’m supporting independent journalism and our local newspaper, the Inquirer. If you’re covering his “ transition” as some kind of normal, then you are dead to me.
My husband called me into the den to watch Lawrence on MSNBC tonight where he (Lawrence) was laughing and making fun of Trump appointing both Elon and Vivek to a “Department of Gov’t Efficiency” (aka “DOGE” which is Elon’s favorite scammy crypto token… THAT DOESN’T EXIST.
I saw “constitutional crisis” on line tonight, re: Trump creating a department out of whole cloth. Then I saw Lawrence making fun of it, for departments (per our constitution) can only be created by an Act of Congress. Will that matter? I hope it still does.
Just a huge thank you, Jess, for the spirit and inspiration you have given to so many of us. I am truly grateful to be part of this community and to keep working together in the days, months, and years ahead. With your daily updates, we are in good hands. Take care of yourself.
Sending love to you too, dear Jessica. I'm so gutted that I've been curling up for naps, not looking at the news and going for walks with my dog. I will fight when my muscles are healed, but not quite yet.
I’m glad to receive this post, I’ve been wondering how you are doing. You gave every shred of energy in you to this election, keeping up hope and momentum for many. Also guessed you were tumbling through emotions as I have been from stunned to crying to feeling rather focused and fierce. I woke up the day after JFK was assasinated, the day after MLK, the day after RFK and the day we knew that Tricky Dick was elected. We went on after the weeping and gnashing of teeth. Even so this feels worse. Damn. The link you included is excellent. Rest all you need. The road ahead is long.
I echo everyone’s appreciation and gratitude for your steady work and wisdom for so many years. So glad you took a break and hope you continue to rest, pace yourself and find joy.
But, wow……I missed you and your daily beacon of light and guidance for what to do next.
Thank you so much for all you do. I am so grateful for all of the work you have done to help the rest of us. It is indeed wonderful to have this community.
Welcome back, Jessica. I'm seeing posts and heard a woman on C-SPAN's call in this morning saying 16 of 20 of her friend's ballots weren't counted. Is there anything to this, if you know, beyond curing?

Thanks Kate. Hang in there. ❤️

Me too on both counts.

Yes. They’ve totaly failed us.

"Corporate Media" rather than "Main Stream Media" because they are owned and controlled by the billionaires and are not main stream
Thanks KC.

I’ve been doing the same pretty much exactly.

Agree.
Thanks Jessica for all you do. Very much obliged for your service to democracy.
Thank you for being here with me, Bruce.
Thank you, Jessica, for modeling self care in this difficult time. Ugh. Sending blessings.
Signed up for ballot curing. Kinda nervous 😅
You’ll be ok!
Glad to see you back at it, Jessica. You are an inspiration.

I don’t know.
