As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Like the monks who walked this path to protect the saint’s body from marauders, Alanna Mitchell knows that she is also “on a journey of trial and sacrifice in the modern British wilderness.” But, she wonders, “what am I trying to find?” @alannamitchell.bsky.social
