Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bruthas and sistas. You know the code.
I broke down and wept too. Wasn't expecting that.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Obama has a LOT of half siblings on his father's side, and I think he is helping them keep their privacy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I got my fantasy.
I am gobsmacked with joy.
Or maybe wonder.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
"young people disproved the myth of their apathy.."
He's good.

“Not dead yet!”
To be fair, it is easier to cheer for a defeated opponent than a victorious one.
It's just as easy to diss a defeated opponent too and given how ugly the campaign got, it wouldn't have surprised me. I'm glad I was surprised the other way.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to listen to a speech by a leader who can make me tear up with joy and hope instead of cringing in dread or seething in contempt. I'm going to have to retrain myself to listen to State of the Union addresses.

The evil is this way?
I was in Grant Park tonight. "Moving" doesn't begin to describe it.

He is good. In fact, Time claims that he dialed down his oratory in order to be less celebspeaker and more "down to earth." That is until the past couple of weeks where he has been going rockstar again.
In relistening, some of tonight's speech to find the part Jesse is referring to, I heard this line, which is beautiful:
"put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more to the hope of a better day. It's been a long time coming."
