Maybe you remember the grief that hit us that day. Here's something I wrote, then, about that week. (I'm hearing it makes people cry, so consider whether you want that.) howtobeamerican.substack.com/p/on-septemb...

Gov Healey was on fire at the #NoKings on Boston common. Massachusetts started it all 250 years ago and we're not fighting done yet. The crowd went nuts. Look up the video, it's worth it.

We're in a zombie apocalypse. The Trump/Epstein class of "elites" turn out to be moral zombies. Ordinary people -- you and me -- are the ones who can save us. My latest at "How to be American." howtobeamerican.substack.com/p/were-in-a-...

Need a little inspiration to end the year? Here's a look at the book that has inspired me for decades: Under a Cruel Star, a memoir of surviving both Auschwitz and Stalinist terror. This amazing book suggests our way forward. open.substack.com/pub/howtobea...

Also in case I accidentally erased it, this articulates better than I could why I'm so frustrated by people who are surprised that, knowing about the rapes, sexual assaults, lying and reason, still vote for Trump. Like it's a rational thing.
