which hinders any future campaign, so I think this is a win-win.

Have a blessed day and enjoy your seat while it lasts.

to your betrayal of the Constitution. I want to thank you for releasing me of the obligation to “bellyache” or otherwise make life difficult by disagreeing. Not only does this save me time, it provides you with less information about what your constituents believe,

My final email to Tillis (read to the end in comments): Dear Sir,
I recently read that you have acknowledged that Trump has “run afoul of the Constitution,” but you believe that we don’t need to “bellyache” about it. Sir, I am sure you have heard impassioned responses

of the Colony of West Jersey Bainbridge's, who in their roles as officers of our armed forces and otherwise, do their damndest to support the constitution from inception until now and forever via all means required.

Although given you are complicit in an attack on our government, the 14th Amendment, 3rd clause may well be useful in your removal.

Fuck you sir.

Dr John Bainbridge

and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God." While we may not be able to recall you today via election, we will have that opportunity in a couple of years.

…and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;

Also, this is what my beloved husband wrote to Tillis 🤬😂(entire letter will be in comments section): “It was only a few years ago you swore to the American people and under the eyes of our lord. "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution….

Tillis conceded that we’ve “run afoul of the constitution,” but there’s no reason to “bellyache” about it. He’s a lost cause. On a positive note: Roy Cooper’s campaign website is active, where you can communicate and donate to an undeclared future run (🙏 for Senate 2026).

That I’m planning on buying tickets next week to see Beyoncé is lifting my heart and head!

Been sending Tillis emails at least a couple of times a week since Jan 6. I used to be passive…no more.

Mo has quite the job ahead of him (given what is happening at the national and state level). Sending him strength and gratitude in advance!

Today I’m feeling grateful for my husband. Who or what are you grateful for?

I took this training and yes, it’s just trauma-informed basics that anyone can learn if they want to be a helper in a crisis!

No one elected you Musk, or crowned you the Queen

Like, how bad are you at US foreign relations when you get Canada mad at you? CANADA! Their national motto is basically, “We’re polite.” It’s quite an accomplishment when you can get a headline that reads “Canada retaliates against US.” I for one would welcome maple lovin’ overlords at this point.

Hope you feel better!

As a therapist, this cuts to my ethical core.

Apparently I can’t do it all. Reminds me of that scene in “Batman Begins” (or maybe “Dark Knight”) where Bruce tells Alfred, “Batman has no limits” and Alfred says, “But Bruce Wayne does.” This PSA for accepting human limitations was sponsored by Your Values and Quality of Life.

Yeah this “shock and awe” is strategic. If we all do what we can to respond or stand with what is most meaningful instead of wringing our hands or avoiding “negativity”, we will make an effective effort (I say TWO or THREE unless you are an activist, attorney, or other professional advocate)!

So, so sad…and scared…and coping…then angry…not coping…then watching Pixar’s “Soul” to remember there is still goodness and joy in the world.

Me too Hank, me too.

Been slowly setting higher expectations for my Gen Z kid. An application to Durham Tech is the next step. I informed them that (given the “political tipping point”) they WILL self actualize as much as possible. You’re welcome society.

Hey I think I can make it to Flyleaf in Chapel Hill on the 30th!

Congrats Eddie! Sign me up for a couple of copies!

New Year’s Resolutions by Jan. 15 be like…

Feeling grateful. Our heat went out last night in the freezing temps, but it’s fine now. We bundled up, and it didn’t dip much below 60 degrees inside. We had a cozy morning with cinnamon rolls from the oven (which also helped with the heat lol) until the repairman got there.
