My heart is with the people who are going to be severely and disproportionately impacted by the new mandate of the US elections. My head is with the people who I trust and know will make the changes to ensure the protections of those who will be most affected.

Within and outside, for others who share your experience and your grief. We will hold you while you figure out the next steps, but you are not alone.

4. You are not alone. This is not unique. It is not exceptional. Your narrative of what your country or people believe in and stand for, might have been challenged but this has happened before. To many others. Reach out.

If you always felt that you were attacked by the system, know that people before you have lived through this, thrived, and found other ways of finding care. If all of us took the time to process our emotions towards caring for others, it will develop its own momentum.

3. If you feel that the system has failed you, remember that systems have always failed people. If you feel it is happening to you for the first time, it means that you have had privilege which is for the first time being threatened.

If you do not align with this majority, it doesn't mean that you have lost. It means that you have work to do, to make sure that you work together for things that are important for you and for them.

2. You have not lost. Elections might appear as competitions but we need to change that narrative. Elections are about seeing what a majority (however flawed that concept might be) believes is the right way of governing collectively.

It means that a rights-based, process-driven formal approach has been blocked but there are other avenues through which things you care about can be mobilized.

1. An election is only one of the ways by which care is organized and managed. If the electoral mandate goes against your own, it doesn't mean there's no way forward.

I felt a rising nausea, but before I deflated completely I told him, well, there are only two options, either we end the occupation and pull out of all the territories, or we kill everyone, otherwise it will never stop. We just need to eliminate them.

I finally realized that any logic would crash into the invisible wall of clichés and saw how all the arguments derived from logic shatter against it.

“Me I’m a leftist, you know,” he says, “honestly my heart aches for the children, but there’s no choice.” I could almost see his bleeding leftist heart.

Once again I asked him how will this help. Hamas, you know, they have faith in God, they have a very long breath, I told him, and kept proving to him why it would never work and he didn’t even have an answer. How come the children of a friend of mine in Gaza are to blame for Hamas's Rockets?
