It’s such a temptation when everything is so bad to succumb to cynicism and numbness, to say lol nothing matters. These people are doing the opposite, in ways big and small but fundamentally concrete and humane. I’m so grateful to them and everyone holding tight to the imperative to care

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.
