It's hitting me really hard that the US could be another Hungary, if not Russia, for the rest of my life.

Being "late-career" I've got less to lose than many, when it comes to facing the consequences of nonviolent resistance, and that is the way.

But I reckon Vietnam-era protest, that I was just barely old enough to join, will pale compared to what's coming.

The American revolutionaries, Gandhi, MLK, Walesa, Mandela, Havel, Sakharov, Yousafzai, Navalny: all in my thoughts tonight.
