To all who are in pain: Please take care of yourselves.

5. I'm not sleeping well at night.

I have LGBQT friends and family. I live in a community of immigrants, some of them undocumented. I'm also a radical humanist and environmentalist.

Living in California, the wold's fourth or fifth largest economy, I can take some comfort that I myself will probably be safe, but that's not true of everyone I know or the people of the U.S.A. and world in general.

Hearing Trump's creepy voice makes my skin crawl. He reminds me of people who left me beaten and bloody in my youth. Guys like him are the reason I quit high school.

I avoid all venues where I might hear Trump's voice, most especially television news and opinion, even NPR radio news and opinion on the local public radio station I support.

I'm not looking forward to the next four years. The previous four years of Trump were horrible.
