Strong article this evening,Reed, and as a woman who started paying attention to Politics in 1969 when I was protesting the Vietnam War. Again in 1970, fighting for the 18 year old Vote.1971 thur 1974 for Women's Rights, I know of what I speak. I've never been or seen what's happening in our Country today, only what I've studied in books and autobiographies. Your doing good work here, Thank You, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍

glad to see this kind of reorientation across writers I follow. encouraging people not to indulge in the disgust and fear the Cabinet appointments naturally generate, both because it's what MAGA wants and it burns up energy and sends us down emotional rabbit holes. we gotta conserve energy and focus. as you say, the work is foundational now and must be approached not like a political campaign but a long-term life work. it's gotta be much deeper and truer than motivating people to vote on a particular day for a particular person. it's sort of a values revolution, a return to community and connection. this is work we can commit to.
