A cold day for activism at Indiana University on this 60th anniversary of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley, but oppression knows no weather, and neither can resistance.

A nation is not saved by wars but “by acts without external picturesqueness; by speaking, writing, voting reasonably; by smiting corruption swiftly; by good temper between parties; by the people knowing true men when they see them, and preferring them as leaders to rabid partisans or empty quacks.”

I don’t have a cat anymore. But here’s the cat I used to have, until she passed away after a nice long life. Mr. Potatohead for scale.
