There are dark times ahead, friends. Heinous deeds surround us, inescapable and omnipresent. Remember to recharge yourself, so that anger turns to energy, not to apathy.

For a lot of white people, the COVID lockdowns are the first time in their lives they've ever experienced meaningful restrictions, particularly meaningful government restrictions. So it's really not surprising, in retrospect, that their reaction was to overthrow the government and destroy science.

This is why I struggle to have hope for a true representative democracy in America — our country doesn’t even know itself. People think 21% of American adults are trans?! 27% Muslim?! 30% OF US LIVE IN NYC?! A completely unserious people worrying about all the wrong things.
