Here's from the story you gifted us: "Our lives had not prepared us for extremity, to mobilize or be as focused and energized as I can see, in retrospect, we would have needed to be." PEOPLE, let's get energized and focused. Let's mobilize. April 5th, get out on the streets. It's a day of ACTION: https://handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible Don't be that person who, in retrospect, realized they could have and should have done something. Let's have a REAL liberation day, not the one we supposedly just had. Let's all be like Cory Booker--giving it everything we've got! xoox

I read this story in the New Yorker and heard it performed by Stephen Colbert (with George) at the 92nd Street Y. Nowadays, it comes to mind regularly. I can't think of a story more perfectly suited to the moment at hand.
