I won’t lie. I’m heartbroken today, even though I’m not surprised. After the disappointing results of Super Tuesday, this decision was inevitable.
But. If you’re in SE MI and at all interested in joining the wrap-ups and farewells, please Kosmail me. I know there will be several events (and the campaign staff will need help packing up). Come to think of it, ALL campaign staffs will need such help, so please reach out to the ones near you.
I have to get some work done today so can’t spend the whole day crying! But y’all can cry for me after you read this tweet.

I wanted to provide a link to Sen. Warren’s announcement to her campaign staff in full. Plus another key excerpt.
You know, I used to hate goodbyes. Whenever I taught my last class or when we moved to a new city, those final goodbyes used to wrench my heart. But then I realized that there is no goodbye for much of what we do.
When I left one place, I took everything I’d learned before and all the good ideas that were tucked into my brain and all the good friends that were tucked in my heart, and I brought it all forward with me — and it became part of what I did next. This campaign is no different. I may not be in the race for president in 2020, but this fight — our fight — is not over. And our place in this fight has not ended….
And sure, the fight may take a new form, but I will be in that fight, and I want you in this fight with me. We will persist.

Here is a link for listening to the call she had with volunteers this evening. It is hard enough to read the text that I linked to in my first update, and even more poignant to hear her voice deliver these words.
Thank you, everyone who joined in with comments befitting the spirit of this post. I especially enjoyed the humor in moving from Charlie Baker to Ginger Baker. Only at Daily Kos. 🧡
