I’ve had a hard time these weeks knowing how to show up in the face of all the stuff that’s been going on. In my personal experience it’s a direct line to today from Bush v. Gore, which was my political awakening as a 19-year-old goofy-ass college student. The onramp to a quarter-century of horseshit. Of course this direct line goes back to the quashing of Reconstruction, and further back still. But something about this moment feels worse, the worst.
