One day long ago, after an abusive relationship I'd been in ended and I was deep into the excruciating process of rebuilding my life scrap by scrap, I had that first bright moment when I realized my abuser was truly out of the picture and I didn't have to deal with that person anymore.

Honestly, I'm feeling a bit like that now.

Thinking a bit more about this...

Yes, I'll always hold those in charge accountable. Yes, I'm dubious about the new folks in many ways. Yes, 45 was a symptom of greater evil. Yes, I'm still not thrilled with the Dems. Yes, there are things I'm still fighting for and against no matter whose names are on the door.

But now, in this moment, celebrating what we no longer have to deal with is perfectly valid.

Don't let uncertainty about positives outweigh the certainty of a prominent negative's end.

Have the #ByeByeTrump party now, get back to work tomorrow with eyes open and pointed at DC.
