Hi Everyone,
I’m writing this from a hotel room in Lisbon, before breakfast, after Trump’s acceptance speech. Maddie and I are in Lisbon for work, and we woke up at 5am to the news of an imminent Trump win. I wish I had something profound to say, but mostly I’m just terrified. Terrified for my black and brown friends, for the LGBTQ community, for my muslim friends, for our Spanish speaking and beloved caregivers, for our friends with disabled kids, for our own Jewish kids, for our nation.
We’ll update this post throughout the day with helpful and relevant links, but we wanted to open this thread for all of you to discuss your feelings. I’m sure many of you have wiser thoughts than I do in this early morning in Lisbon. Please share whatever you need to share here.
Starting this afternoon we’ll resume our regular publishing schedule, even though nothing seems normal today. I hope it brings you a bit of distraction and joy.
