I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night. We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is. It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump. 🧵

Maryann was the only person who ever asked me how I shaved around the two raised moles above my upper lip. I hadn’t seen her for years but think about her every time I shave. Went searching for her on the net so I could tell her that but found her obituary instead. Dead at 50 from cervical cancer.
