This past week has definitely been a struggle for many of us, but we’re also starting to see some small tastes of… not victory exactly, but progress in pushing back in real and firm ways. Not everyone may agree on that part, but the reality is that things are not just always going the administration’s way, and you have to savor their losses, take inspiration from it, and use it to douse the exhaustion and cynicism.

We as a people are definitely being tested – and oh boy are we tired of being tested – and seeing the successes and inspiration coming out of Minneapolis is hugely important and beneficial for the soul. 

It may get darker before the dawn, but we’re seeing clearly who is on our side, who is inspiring others on how to fight back when the darkness comes to them, and that it can be pushed back, more and more. 

Be good to each other out there, those you come across, and importantly, yourself as well.
