Much appreciated, Sherrilyn. Our hearts are broken but our backs are straight. We should be planning now for how to protect ourselves and our people in the short term. And for how we will build a truly inclusive society once we have reclaimed our birthright, no matter how long that may take.

Essential truth. Thank you for your service, courage, and clarity. I think this is also an example of why Substack can be such a n indispensible resource as we find a way to endure and support each other in the fights ahead.
As an older white woman, I have to say, this is by far the best thing I’ve read since the election. And I’m sorry to say my white sisters have failed this country so miserably. I find inspiration over and over among the black community—people who have had to fight all their lives aren’t going to give up easily and we, who have lived so comfortably, can’t afford to sit on the sidelines this time either. Thank you for the wonderful wisdom of a “planting time” which speaks to a future that can fight the immoral cowardice we are seeing in our elected representatives. We need to raise up generations of young people who understand the value of a true democracy. Stacy Abrams also says “insist” (not “resist”), and who can forget John Lewis saying it’s time to make “good trouble”. Thank you, Sherrilyn. Your voice is one I will treasure and read.
Thank you! As already mentioned in other comments, this is a great message with essential information. It helped me feel a bit better and helped guide my thoughts on putting a plan for my family in place for the foreseeable future. As an employee at a university, I definitely will be updating my resume and learning as many new skills as I can.
Thank you for speaking the truth that we all need to hear right now. And thank you for giving us actionable tips. As one who organizes and is looking to leadership to help us through this time, and not feel finding it, YOU, Sherrilyn are the only one offering us the next step to getting back on the path to creating country we so richly long for and deserve. We are forever grateful. 🙏
Thank you Sherrilyn. Watching with horror from over here in UK and so concerned for my friends in USA (and the rest of the world). This is one of the most comprehensive, wise and truthful overviews of the landscape that is ahead of us all I have seen. As an Irish person who lives between Britain and Spain, I can absolutely endorse your advice to subscribe to trusted foreign media....when the Brexit disaster was voted for by UK the only way to get a full picture of exactly how disastrous it was, was to listen to the news reports on Irish and European media, rather than swallow the triumphalism being churned out by the largely right wing UK media. Of course since then, the consequences of Brexit-higher prices, lower living standards, diminished status in the world-have become very real, hence the conservatives being roundly kicked out in the last election (albeit for a slightly less right wing version of what used to be the Labour party).
Thank you so much. Hearing your calls to action, is what I needed. Please be safe and thank you for the truth. Peace ❤️
This 💯
Thank you for these words, the realism and the encouragement.

Thank you, Deepak!
Thank you for the realism and for the wisdom. It is dark. But we don’t have a choice, and so we must fight.
Don’t underestimate the importance of your voice. So many people benefit from your wisdom.
I saw this and thought, "Must read. This isn't a "take." This is the truth. Thank you for always bringing the truth.
