The thing is, we can disagree about all kinds of policies, and still fundamentally agree on some basic principles of government. I think many of us have rediscovered that, which is one good thing that comes out of all this.
What's wild is that I'm not only just as solidly progressive and left leaning as ever, I'm in fact more left leaning and progressive as I've ever been *at the same time as* I haven't disagreed with anything that David Frum and Tom Nichols have said or written in the last decade. Thanks, Atlantic.

It’s a post of warm gratitude.
Today, after I wrote how deeply it hurts when support is cancelled right after the attacks,
you joined, you upgraded, you wrote kind words.
You reminded me – hey, girl, you’re not alone in this.
I’m not asking for anything.
I just want to thank you.
