"They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I.

Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love...." - Rebecca Solnit, Midnight, November 5, 2024
