Currently reading the December 2025 issue of National Geographic. In David Quammen's celebration of Jane Goodall's life, I was particularly struck by this sentence:
"She understood that hope is a duty, not a prediction or a mood."

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.
