Ever notice how the biggest changes often begin in the smallest places? The corner café, the Saturday market, even a neighbour’s kindness. Just published The Chorus of Small Acts, where I try to wrestle with that. #politics #democracy #stayalert
The Chorus of Small Acts
A single stitch is a gesture, a thousand a garment. Democracy too is patched in the ordinary places, held together not by spectacle but by the quiet industry of neighbours.

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences.
The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.
