I still believe that we (the public) have enormous power over government. The hard part is convincing the general public that our laws are being ignored or changed in ways that will hurt them and the people they care about.

The actions of this administration are NOT inevitable.

You write very well Matt. Im sure your briefs are a pleasure to read! Also a piece I didn't realize I needed at this moment until after I finished it. So thanks, also for taking the time away from fighting the good fight to hang out with us internet folks

So grateful for this read today. It is so important to be intentional with how we direct our intention, threading the needle of awareness — and as you say, not just building knowledge without building power. Thank you.

Wow, I love your writing Matt. I have been sliding into doomer mentality and your writing here really moved me in a positive direction. I will eagerly await the next installment.
