The callous disregard of those in present power for the will of the governed is not acceptable or sustainable. We the People will not “get over” betrayals of trust. We may rightfully be a bit weary. We are not confused. susanobrien.substack.com/p/august-fol...

It’s not politics. Call it what it is—a holy war for identity, agency, and decency. Human aspirations and rights always must resist the temptation to surrender themselves in whole or part to an urge to trade down or surrender vitality for security. susanobrien.substack.com/p/be-of-good...
