I hope she has a prominent position in Biden's administration. I was particularly impressed with her being our representative to the International Whaling Commission, working hard to end whaling.

such caring, dedicated people are going to be leading in their chosen fields now. Working for a better country & planet.. not out to purposely destroy it.

Kinda Surreal after 4 years of hell.

Oh, that's so clever! It hits home!

For the last week, I've been wondering if they have to display tRump's portrait; maybe they could just put "45*" up there. Your post made me laugh so much!

And it was perfect! I feel better!

trump didn't put up President Obama's photo... So that's all going to change after the place is Fumigated, exorcised, and Sage Smudged!

Proud to say that my brother is an environmental lawyer also. He served on Jerry Brown's Coastal Commission and has remained an environmental activist tho this day.

have attacked Biden's choice of Ron Klain. I quit a progressive page because all they do is attack Biden. They are politically naive and think it's all about them. They do not understand that the Dems need moderates and independents to win elections. They need to wake up.
