This is happening tonight!

Emotions are running high as the inauguration approaches, but nobody keeps us calm like Heather Cox Richardson! She is joining us to help put things into perspective and remind us that small groups of people can change history—so let’s get started. Spend Inauguration Eve with Heather and your friends at Red Wine & Blue.

Admit I got a couple laughs out of the list! I'm going to be working in my pottery studio, doing some cooking and listening to my audio book. I'm completely tuning out until maybe Rachel. The doom gets to me if I turn on the news. It's back to beginning the work to poke our electeds into doing the right thing on Tuesday.

I am spending as much time as I can in the company of my like-minded friends. We're in this together. I am so sad for my country right now...watching the West Wing will make me sadder.

I will watch him tomorrow with eyes wide open. I went to be a witness to the type of person he is and the depths to which Americans are prepared to go in choosing a leader. Call me crazy but I suspect I am just an old political science major who just can’t turn away.

Historians, constitutional scholars, poli sci majors, ethicists all have an outsized role in this moment. Thank you for witnessing.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I wave watched the entire series of "The West Wing" seven times. Even the opening music brought tears to my eyes every time I heard it. Maybe I'll watch it once more... tomorrow.....

I’m so annoyed that it’s on Max, one of the few I don’t subscribe to. Best series ever.

Hi Marlene, feel free to copy and paste a portion of the post and direct your friends to www.grassrootsconnector on substack.com

That's the workaround I use for this annoyance.
