@michellegoldberg.bsky.social thank you for your powerful and alarmingly accurate piece in the NYT. Yes, we're apparently in McCarthy v2 now. It's terrifying.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

What is the working class? Many invoke it in this election, but no one defines it. How much is it economic, when a plumber can make 10x as much as adjunct professor? How much is it cultural/an identity, or the kind of labor? Why so many 1930s white-guy versions when so many are women and BIPOC?

"To be hopeful in bad times... is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness....
To live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is around us, is itself a marvelous victory."
