While the general mood is exuberance regarding the resilience of our system, my thoughts are how close we came to losing it, how it shouldn’t be so fragile, and my hope that all the loopholes and flaws in our system get fixed in a permanent way so this can never happen again.

Singing our National Anthem for the American People is my honor. I will sing during a ceremony, a transition, a moment of change—between POTUS 45 and 46. For me, this has great meaning.

Today marks the end of a fascist in chief, but we still have a lot of work to do. I’m happy he’s gone; for all of us, but I am still incredibly skeptical & ready to hold this administration just as accountable as any other! It’s still power to the PEOPLE! May this new chapter
