Same author as the OP.

One of my favorite books recently is On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder, Levin Professor of History at Yale University. Here's one of my favorite quotes:

Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow.

Kamala Harris broke the spell of the status quo. Others are following. We have a winner here.

Let's make sure we turn out, bring our independent and third party neighbors with us to this table, and elect the first woman President of the United States. It is long past time.
