In a Place Without Words (November 9, 1938)

[greygirlbeast]

Today is the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht, and here in American we have elected our own little would-be Hitler. On November 9, 1989 the Berlin Wall came down, and here we are building walls. We learned nothing from history, and we have repeated it

"If only I could be angry. I know what to do with anger. But there is nothing in me now but sorrow and shame, horror and fear."

My husband wondered where the anger was this morning. I am numb in fear and horror, knowing we've only begun to see the worst to come and how many loved ones are to be targeted and affected. He thought I'd be rabid w. rage and I am quiet and worrying him.

When I lose my ACA medical ins, it is literally a death sentence for me.

Hillary won the popular vote.

So there are slightly more intelligent people in our country than stupid ones.

Unfortunately, we are now going to be ruled by the stupid ones.

I think I am done as an American writer. I know I am done as an American. I feel as if everything I have written is a lie.

I don't think it was a lie to be the kind of American you thought the ideals of the country claimed and deserved. It did not make you a false American. It does not. I am upset that the country could not live up to its own standards: that the America it chose is the worst version of itself. I am upset at all the history that ran this way.

That is some terribly insightful graffiti. I feel like every one of my friends and family have just suffered a personal tragedy.
