People in Phoenix AZ are like, okay *this* time we rise from the ashes, yeah?

We will get through this together, but I will get through this better thanks to your writing. Stay warm and enjoy New Years in the woods.

Thanks for writing this. I always appreciate your perspective. I hope that you're right that we can pull some disillusioned maga into building a better world together. And i hope you have a dry tent and warm sleeping bag if you're up in the catskills right now.

One of the things I love about your writing is how you choose to say the extremely hard, brutal truths that most people want to ignore or deny. Your perspective is critically important, and will be even more so in the time ahead. I don't have much confidence in my ability to survive for long, but I'm going to try my best, and am thankful to have your words to read in whatever time I have left. Thank you for telling the truths nobody else wants to talk about.

WTF are you trying to say here?

I read every word but still wondering what you're trying to tell us!

P.S. I love you, Laura. May 2025 be your best year yet

What I'm trying to say is that the 2024 election has destroyed all norms and will destroy the basic structure of American government. It's totally disrupted power structures. This is very scary, but also an incredible opportunity to build something better if we can reach the disaffected

This feels like an awkward, painful, but much needed hug as we head off into the new year. See ya, Laura!
