Everyone is terrified. Everyone is shocked. I’m turning off the TV and starting to pack.
The government we spent two centuries building is being ripped to shreds by an unelected billionaire. I turned off the TV and threw a few more things in my suitcase. Most of Congress  are complicit, obsequious collaborators. I’m taking a break. I’m packing. The media, universities and businesses, are all bowing down to the new hate-filled regime.
I’m packing a few special things. I’m packing a little copy of the Constitution of the United States. We can read it together in a foreign land, under a foreign sun, somewhere where we don’t have to be afraid.
