Did anyone read David Brooks piece in The Atlantic?

19. Better late than never

I confess, I've always thought David Brooks was a pompous ass ready and willing to defend the indefensible.

But . . .

This is a damn fine essay with a fierce point of view, well-placed and accurate historical references and a reminder that the American experiment has always been messy. The Republic is not over yet unless we allow the continuing degradation through our silence, our fear, our unwillingness to push back in whatever way we can.

And yes, Saul Alinsky was right--ridicule is a mighty weapon, a seasoned tool of resistance. In fact, I just read that a group in Portland is handing out inflatable costumes for Saturday's No Kings March. The frogs and their companions will be out in force. The giraffe may have been arrested but it's not stopping other protesters.

Well worth the read.
