Happy weekend, my wonderful friends!!

Man, what a week we've had. And now it's time to celebrate.

We did it. We fucking did it. I always knew there were more of us. I always knew that the good and decent people of this country outnumbered the vile and wicked ones. And that a people pushed to their limits would rise up peacefully and render judgment on the malefactors of unearned power in the way which our Founders provided for us.

This was a great victory. But the war is not over. And, truly, it won't be over for a long while. That is what we need to keep uppermost in our minds. We can't just say "job done"; the job is not done. The job is never done. Nothing human is ever complete. Anything good in this world has to be tended to and nurtured. We have to realize that if we surrender our power, others will seize it.

The struggle never ends. But we can contest that struggle from a position of strength, rather than playing catch-up. That's what this week showed us. There will be setbacks. But we keep fighting. If we keep fighting, we will win.

So share your favorite celebratory music in the comments, and make a joyful noise.

As always, my dear, dear friends: be ever kind, gentle, and joyful, with yourselves and those around you.
