"Is this Hell, or just an upturn in consumer confidence?"
A friend gifted this tiny volume to me this year; never has a tangible object felt so unreal in my hands. John Updike + Edward Gorey? Sure.
The contents are precisely what you imagine.

Defying and dismantling authoritarianism is hard work. If we don't make room for rest and joy, we can't bring our best to the fight.
You're part of a movement that's going to make sure that the new year is better than the last — in the meantime, rest up and get plenty of fresh air!

What we have now is a two-tiered society with a wealthy few at the top and the vast majority of Americans struggling to make ends meet.
It’s corrosive to our economy and democracy.

If you want to win back control of Congress next year and build a Democratic Party that fights as hard as we do, support the grassroots organizing that will make it possible. A wave election is within our reach, but only if we invest in the grassroots organizing that helped deliver big wins in 2025.
