Now, she is heading out the door. My partner & I listen for the back gate to swing shut & latch, our signal that she's off. If you were out on the street, you'd see her (headlamp bobbing) striding east with power & purpose. She walked to Mt. Tabor almost every day for 40 years. Even in the snow.

Yes, the power of organizing -- as your work teaches. Like MoW for Jobs and Freedom, organized in just a few months. It IS possible with strategy, righteous cause, really hard work, daily outreach. . . (speaking of which, I hope Mamdani & team & canvassers get some rest -- they've worked 24/7!)

I think the typos are intentional. All their correspondence is like that. (Which initially left federal office staff wondering if official emails were actually legitimate. Under any other administration, they would have been spam.) It is part of their strategy of disorientation and destruction.

We may need to organize shifts to occupy/defend NMAAHC 24/7. (With replacements ready to step.) #civildisobedience

"We Are Lady Parts" (Only two short seasons, but sooo good)

Also, Lincoln Lawyer, Matlock, Dark Winds, Perry Mason (2020 with Matthew Rhys -- how many TV shows include Bonus March, Ludlow Massacre, and more?) -- and for timely movies, The Old Oak by Ken Loach.
