Watching the inauguration of Joe Biden, and I don’t know how to avoid cliche, but it really does feel as if civility and basic decency and perhaps even optimism has returned to Washington. Maybe things do sometimes get better 🙂

The US President hasn't called anyone a loser in the last 10 minutes, really not used to this to be honest.

So wonderful. After 4 years of a President inciting fascists and racism and white supremacy, a Black woman becomes Vice-President.
So this is what joy feels like. I’d forgotten. pic.twitter.com/iX1WvVKJcw

Biden just demonstrated more statesmanship in 15 minutes than Trump managed in 4 years. We live in turbulent and frightening times – but it feels like a page of history just turned.
