I don’t think I’ll ever forget the pure and collective joy I saw and felt in downtown DC. It felt like the city had let out a breath being held for so long, and I couldn’t help but think of every single person who helped make this possible, from poll workers to community advocates to those who tirelessly made calls and stepped up until the very end. Here’s to a day full of hope and joy, and a future that continues to break boundaries, uplift voices, end injustice and advocate for the earth in the face of climate change. . . . . #acreativedc #washingtonian #downtowndc #votehimout #bidenharris2020

DC definitely showed up to celebrate the end of a dark period in American history. And this election does have a lot to celebrate- the first woman and person of color VP, historic turnout, superstars like Stacey Abrams putting in serious work to flip states like GA. But there's also a lot that's pretty sobering. That historic turnout also showed that while Trump may have been repudiated, Trumpism will definitely persist. There are bones deep divides that have been put in stark relief in the past 4 years and just electing Biden doesn't solve anything. There's a colossal amount of work to be done not just to get back to some semblance of normalcy, but to correct what's wrong about that "normal" to begin with. I hope people maintain this energy even when there isn't a Trump to galvanize people to turn out. But it is definitely a huge relief to know that this shit is almost over.
