I’m not watching the inauguration. My son is off school for MLK Day, and other than a few emails and a TV hit, I’m spending the day with him.
I’m not going to let these people rob me of any ounce of joy during these four years. I’m going to fight, but not at the expense of my health and my family.

I encourage you to do the same. We have a lot of work ahead to stop the worst of what’s coming and to elect more and better Democrats who can help us take back Congress, the White House, and legislatures nationwide. But each of us needs to prioritize protecting our health and our families first.
During Trump’s first term, I became a workaholic. I neglected my health, ballooned up over 600 pounds, and nearly killed myself. I wasn’t the husband, father, or leader I needed to be. That’s not happening again. I won’t let it.
To borrow a phrase from the old boss, I’m going to be a joyful warrior for the next four years. I’ll fight and do the work, but I’m also going to enjoy life, my family, my friends, and all of you. I hope you can find your way there too because we need you at your best.
Stay safe and be smart if you’re out there organizing, especially if you’re in Chicago for any immigration raid stunts they’re planning today.
Turn off the TV if you can, and put your phone down. There’s only so much you can control, and doomscrolling is bad for you.
Love ya. ✌️
