No paywall on this Baldwin interview:

“I didn’t think of myself as a public speaker…but I knew I could get a story past the editor’s desk. And once you realize that you can do something, it would be difficult to live with yourself if you didn’t do it.”

So much work to do, so much pain about what’s already happened, and so much anxiety about what’s coming, but for now just thankful for the desperately needed respite. Sending love and strength to our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
