Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile."

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

April 18,1775 riders warned of British plans to arrest Revolution leaders, destroy supplies & crush rebellion. A timely reminder. A call to action to resist tyranny/oligarchy, to defend democracy & freedoms hard-won in 250 yrs now under assault. Hold your light high, warn others & be ready to stand.
