My mentor in college ended up spending a year as interim president. During his tenure we had student win a Heisman Trophy and another win Playboy Pet of the Year, among other crazy occurrences. I tried for a few years to get him to write a memoir about that year.

Samantha Power’s book if you’ve never read it before.
She owes us an update too after years in government, and watching what our own nation will do on the border under Trump.

Interesting piece on what may be going on. I think the learned helplessness corresponds well too with what happened in 70s when some folks turned inward & some extreme radicals hid underground.

Sure hope Jack has kept his old friends at ICC informed on the Trump case. And maybe Joe is dropping off boxes of evidence at the Vatican for safe keeping.

I think we’re pacing ourselves ATM, but watch for backsliding into personal transformation movements instead of mass organized ones. Many activists turned inward after election of Nixon & Kent State. Communes, new age mvmt, therapeutic responses, etc. There’s a reason 70s turned into the Me Decade.

Lots of other things tossed too. A UT volunteer office that I helped open in 1992 was moved from Student Affairs into Diversity & Community Engagement years after I left. Seems to have been gutted too now. No one could give me an answer (Dean of Students or Presidents Office) when I asked in June.
