11. I get more frightened and panic-stricken every day, though a part of me finds what's happening unbelievable

But then I'm almost grateful that I am who I am rather than Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi who experienced the front lines and have more understanding about what's really going on and also reasons to fear.

And I'm also grateful that I'm paying attention and can appreciate that all of us have reason to fear. I'd much rather be like that than some poor individual who is suddenly surrounded by ICE when they take a walk to the store or pick their pick up from school (I saw a video about the latter this afternoon). And we both also have DU where we're surrounded by kindred spirits and so we're prepared and there truly is power in numbers.
