It seems wildly inappropriate to string together words in the space without acknowledging the attack on democracy that is taking place. So, I won't, other than to convey a thing that Alexis said after we had a long discussion about how politics has dramatically changed in my lifetime.
I had just finished explaining how historical the events of today were, and how I could have never imagined such a thing happening when I was her age. But ... politics are different now.
Alexis responded, "I like reading about history a lot more than I like living it."
Yes, Alexis. That.
