Pushback 27
Okay, today was extra difficult. I tried to imagine my grandfathers, both of whom fought in WW2, learning that the American president was surrounded by nazi supporters, serving Putin's interests. It's impossible to imagine. But we once huddled under our desks for nuclear fallout drills, and then the USSR fell. Things change quickly and we can force them to keep changing. Hang in there, folks. Short one today because (waves arms around). Have a nice weekend and be kind to yourself and maybe go to a protest.
