You’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re still here. And when you protect these forces in yourself, you make it easier for others to protect them too. That ripple effect is how movements survive.

From Michelle Schindell on Facebook:

Someone recently wrote me and said she didn’t like Biden at all, called him “a joke of a president,” but added that it didn’t consume her mind 24/7, nor did she feel the need to “teach” the world how wrong he was.
Fair statement.
My response is:

When I look at Washington, I see a crisis of integrity, a refusal to take accountability, and a failure to lead under pressure.

Integrity, performing under pressure, and accountability is precisely what being a Nuclear Plant Supervisor in the Navy taught me.
